[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral position in cloud physics at NASA GISS in New York City

[Fridlind, Ann (GISS-6110)]

Postdoctoral Research Scientist
https://academic.careers.columbia.edu/#/82615

The Center for Climate Systems Research (CCSR) at Columbia University is seeking a postdoctoral research scientist to work on improving the representation of post-frontal mixed-phase cloud systems in atmospheric models. The position will entail (i) developing and running aerosol-aware single-column model (SCM) and large-eddy simulations based on observations obtained during cold-air outbreak conditions observed at several long-term ground sites, and (ii) evaluating the NASA GISS ModelE3 climate model against long-term ground-based observations using a newly developed simulator approach. The postdoctoral scientist will join a cloud and aerosol physics team that spans satellite and field measurements, turbulence-resolving modeling of aerosol-cloud interactions, and climate model development and applications. Strong coding skills are a requirement. The postdoctoral scientist is expected to present findings at scientific conferences, and to prepare successful peer-reviewed publications in established scientific journals.

Minimum Qualifications: A Ph.D. obtained within the past two years in atmospheric science, engineering, Earth system science, or directly related discipline by the start of the appointment.
Preferred Qualifications: Experience with cloud and/or climate modeling, microphysics schemes in turbulence-resolving and/or climate models, and atmospheric observations.

Application Instructions
Submit your application, including a cover letter, which should detail past research experience and future interests, current CV, and the names, phone numbers and email addresses of three references.
Appointment will be for 1 year, with continuation pending funding and progress.
Search will remain open for at least 30 days after the ad appears and will continue until the position is filled.
