[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Position at University of Victoria -- Extreme Moisture Transport Events and Arctic Amplification

[Hansi Singh]

We invite applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in Arctic amplification. This work is part of a collaborative project funded by the US DOE on the role of extreme moist transport events as a hypothesized driver of Arctic amplification. The postdoctoral scholars will conduct novel numerical water tracer and/or radiative-locking experiments in the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) to investigate the provenance of moisture intrusions and how they promote water vapor and cloud feedbacks over the Arctic, hastening sea ice retreat.


The candidate will ideally have training in atmospheric sciences; knowledge of extratropical dynamics and/or polar climate; and demonstrated experience modeling and coding, as well as working with large, complex datasets. We especially encourage applicants with expertise in running and configuring global climate models, such as CESM, E3SM, or another state-of-the-art Earth system model.


The postdoctoral scholars will join a vigorous research team coordinated by Profs. Hansi Singh (School of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of Victoria, Canada) and Nicole Feldl (University of California, Santa Cruz), with additional collaborators from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of Washington.  Prof. Singh will be the primary supervisor, with further mentoring provided at University of Victoria by Prof. Colin Goldblatt.
