[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Research Scientist Position at LDEO of Columbia University

[Aileen Goldberg]

*Postdoctoral Research Scientist**
Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University*

The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University 
located in Palisades, New York, invites applications for a Postdoctoral 
Research Scientist position in the Ocean Carbon Group.

The position will focus on quantifying and reducing uncertainty in 
extrapolations of sparse surface ocean pCO_2 observations to global 
coverage. The work will involve (1) evaluation of existing 
extrapolations and observing strategies within an existing testbed based 
in Large Ensemble climate models, (2) maturing extrapolation techniques 
to more explicitly include uncertainty quantification, 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 data science methods is strongly 
preferred.

The candidate will be expected to build strong links with collaborators 
in the Department of Statistics, and at NOAA research laboratories. They 
will also be a full member of the new community of climate data 
scientists organized around a new center, Learning the Earth with 
Artificial Intelligence and Physics (LEAP, https://leap.columbia.edu), a 
new Science and Technology Center funded by NSF.

Candidates should have completed or be nearing completion of a PhD in 
ocean and climate science, or a closely related field. 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.

Proposed start date is April 1, 2022, with some flexibility. 
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.

For further information about this position and to submit your 
application, curriculum vitae, cover letter, and contact information for 
three references, please visit our online application site at:
