Research position to analyze new approaches to modeling planetary boundary
layers and convection in Earth system models

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 to join a project on modeling
planetary boundary layers and convection in Earth system models at GFDL,
particularly for (1) analyzing interactions among large-scale circulation,
eddy diffusivity, convective mass fluxes, and stratiform cloud macrophysics
and microphysics; and (2) applying results of this analysis to improved
simulation of tropical and sub-tropical cloud systems. The project is a
collaboration with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, UCLA, The University of
Connecticut, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research, aimed at a
unified approach to moist turbulent processes for boundary layers and deep
convection. The position supports an ongoing multi-agency, interdisciplinary
Climate Process Team. The team provides opportunities to blend modeling,
theory, and observational perspectives. The Climate Process Team is tackling
one of the most challenging problems in climate science and atmospheric
prediction using one of the world's leading modeling systems.

The successful applicant will work with Leo Donner and Ming Zhao at GFDL and
multi-institutional team members.

Scientists with backgrounds in general circulation modeling,
parameterization development, modeling of atmospheric processes, and
diagnostic analysis of interactions between large-scale circulations and
cloud processes are especially encouraged to apply. The initial appointment
is for one year with the possibility of renewal subject to satisfactory
performance and available funding. 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 should be submitted by August 1, 2022,
11:59 pm ET 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 to at
