Multiple MS or PhD positions are available at the Howard University Graduate Program in Atmospheric Science (HUPAS)

(https://gs.howard.edu/graduate-programs/atmospheric-science<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gs.howard.edu_graduate-2Dprograms_atmospheric-2Dscience&d=DwQGaQ&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=kSh9gO8CBTH0qTODfuQ83g&m=fhdgRAk5uW6qZrWzeCSJeOMKWEzZ-b7sSlC0FP5K0WY&s=hyZDSfKqbs5IhcnCKtO4qJlrcJJ183rNkfy8E_Iex1Q&e=> ). Additionally, two postdoctoral positions are available.



Enthusiastic and motivated students with BS/MS degrees in meteorology, atmospheric sciences, physics, chemistry, engineering, computer science, or related fields are encouraged to apply.



Qualifications include US Citizenship, 3.0 GPA and higher



Research topics include:


  *   Aerosols and large-scale climate dynamics (Prof. Osinachi Ajoku): Better understand aerosol-cloud-radiation interactions using observations and models. The successful candidate must be willing to learn how to run a global or regional climate model and how to use a programming language for data analysis.

  *   Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP’s) and Tropical Belt Width (Prof. Osinachi Ajoku): Investigating global climate model runs through the end of the 21st century to evaluate factors impacting the width of the tropical belt. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to spend some summers at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and work first-hand with the Community Earth System Model (CESM).

  *   Food Security and Sustainability over Africa (Post-doc). Create a better understanding of how changes in climate over portions of Africa will impact food security and availability. This project will involve using regional climate model output.

  *   Stratocumulus to Cumulus Transition over the Equatorial Atlantic (Post-doc, PhD): Utilize WRF-Chem and WRF-LES models to understand PBL cloud dynamics in the presence and absence of long-range aerosol transport. This project is supported by a DOE grant that will provide funding for 2-3 years.



Candidates with strong backgrounds in programming and numerical modeling are encouraged to contact Dr. Osinachi Ajoku (osinachi.ajoku at howard.edu<mailto:joseph.wilkins at howard.edu>).
