[Aileen Goldberg]

*Associate Research Scientist - Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) 
of Columbia University*

_/*Description:*/_
The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University located in 
Palisades, New York, invites applications for an Associate Research 
Scientist position in the Ocean Carbon Group.

The position will focus on quantifying and reducing uncertainty in 
extrapolations of sparse surface ocean pCO2 observations to global 
coverage. The work will involve (1) evaluation of existing 
extrapolations for surface ocean pCO2 within an existing testbed based 
in Large Ensemble climate models, (2) developing new extrapolation 
techniques that include explicit estimates of uncertainty, and (3) 
assessing implications for scientific understanding of the mechanisms of 
spatial and temporal variability in the ocean carbon sink. Prior 
experience with oceanography, carbon cycle science and statistical 
methods is strongly preferred. The candidate will be expected to build 
strong links with collaborators in the Department of Statistics and the 
Data Science Institute at Columbia, and at NOAA research laboratories.

_/*Qualifications:*/_

Candidates should have completed a PhD in oceanography or closely 
related field, and have demonstrated experience with data science 
techniques. Excellent communication, interpersonal and organizational 
skills and ability to use independent judgment required. Evidence of the 
ability to conduct and publish high quality research is required.

Appointments will be for 1-year, with continuation pending funding and 
progress.

The search will remain open for at least 30 days after the ad appears 
and will continue until the position is filled.

Proposed start date is November 1, 2021, with some flexibility.

Columbia University benefits accompany this Officer of Research 
appointment.
