[ES_JOBS_NET] stratospheric aerosol modeling/radiative transfer position

[Karen Rosenlof]

 <>CIRES/ NOAA Chemical Sciences Laboratory, Stratospheric Aerosol and Radiative Transfer Modeling and Data Analysis Post-Doctoral Associate or Research Associate (Research Scientist)  Job Number: 36764

The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder (https://cires.colorado.edu/ <https://cires.colorado.edu/>) is seeking a Post-Doctoral Associate or a Research Scientist to join the Chemistry and Climate Processes group of the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratories Chemical Sciences Laboratory (CSL) (https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/csl <https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/csl>). The selected candidate will work in close cooperation with the research staff of CIRES and CSL researchers to study radiative, chemical, aerosol, and dynamical processes in the upper troposphere and stratosphere. This scientist will run global chemistry/climate models and use observations to assess how climate change, and the introduction of aerosols into the stratosphere through volcanic eruptions and climate intervention proposals might impact stratospheric composition, radiative processes, large-scale circulation, transport, and surface weather. The goal is to improve our understanding of drivers of change and variability in the stratosphere and potential impacts on the troposphere.
 We seek an individual with demonstrated expertise in large-scale atmospheric modeling, including modifying code as well as running community models, and the statistical analysis of global data sets (including model archives). Familiarity with stratospheric processes controlling composition and modeling of atmospheric aerosol processes is required. The ability to work well with other researchers and support staff in a collaborative research environment is essential. The applicant should have experience both in writing papers for the peer-reviewed literature and presenting their research at scientific meetings. A Ph.D. in the field of atmospheric science, environmental science, meteorology, chemistry, physics, or the equivalent is required.

Key Responsibilities

Run global chemistry/climate models including stratospheric aerosol inputs.
Combine aerosol observations with model output to validate the model and better understand aerosol processes and their impact on radiative, chemical and dynamical balances in the stratosphere
Analyze model output looking impacts of volcanic eruptions on stratospheric processes and surface weather.
Summarize results in scientific manuscripts and conference presentations.
Responsibilities for Research Associates (Research Scientists)
In addition to the duties identified above, within CIRES/NOAA CSL, a Research Scientist is also responsible for conducting original research. 
Requirements
Background in data analysis.
Background in modeling atmospheric aerosols.
Familiarity with stratospheric chemistry.
Knowledge of atmospheric dynamics and radiative transfer.
Experience in manipulating large datasets (including model output)Excellent organizational skills and logical thinking ability.
Ability to work as a team member in data analysis and interpretation of results.
