[ES_JOBS_NET] Research position - PBL turbulence in Earth System models at Princeton/GFDL

[Colin Zarzycki]

Dear colleagues,

I want to draw your attention to an open position at Princeton/GFDL working
on a multi-institution team investigating momentum flux parameterization in
climate models. The position is aimed at early career scientists and will
be filled at a level commensurate with experience. See below for the full
description. Applications can be submitted here
<https://puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/apply/application.xhtml?listingId=24261>.
Please reach out to myself (czarzycki at psu.edu), Ming Zhao (
ming.zhao at noaa.gov) or Leo Donner (leo.j.donner at noaa.gov) with any
questions.

Cheers,
-Colin

*JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS:*

The Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Program at Princeton University, in
cooperation with NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), seeks
a postdoctoral or more senior researcher for a position to investigate a
new higher-order turbulence closure for modeling planetary boundary layer
momentum flux in Earth system models at GFDL. The researcher will work in
collaboration with scientists at Pennsylvania State University, University
of Wisconsin, and National Center for Atmospheric Research, to include a
prognostic treatment of momentum flux in CLUBB (Cloud Layers Unified By
Binormals) higher-order closure for boundary-layer turbulence. The position
will support a multi-agency, interdisciplinary Climate Process Team. The
team will provide unique opportunities to blend modeling, theory, and
observational perspectives. The Climate Process Team is tackling some of
the most challenging problems in climate science and atmospheric prediction
using one of the world's leading modeling systems.
This is a one-year position, but there is a possibility of additional
funding becoming available, for up to 2 additional years.

Successful applicants will work with Ming Zhao and Leo Donner at GFDL and
multi-institutional team members. Scientists with backgrounds in general
circulation modeling, parameterization development, and modeling of
atmospheric processes are especially encouraged to apply. Candidates must
have a PhD in atmospheric science or a related field. Complete
applications, including a CV, a statement describing research interests and
how they would contribute to the project, and contact information for 3
references should be submitted by February 15, 2022, 11:59 pm EST for full
consideration. Princeton is interested in candidates who, through their
research, will contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic
community. Applicants should apply online at
https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/24261. This position is
subject to the University's background check policy.

For more information about the research project and application process,
please contact Ming Zhao (ming.zhao at noaa.gov) or Leo Donner (
leo.j.donner at noaa.gov). Princeton University is an equal
opportunity/affirmative action employer and all qualified applicants will
receive consideration for employment without regard to age, race, color,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national
origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other
characteristic protected by law.
