[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Scholar Position – Hydrology, Land-Atmosphere Interaction, Seasonal to Subseasonal Predictions, Irrigation Processes

[Manuela Girotto PhD]

Dear colleagues, 
 
We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Scholar to conduct research in the field of land atmosphere interaction with a focus on how irrigation processes lead to changes in the subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) predictability of Earth Systems. The candidate will be involved in a NASA sponsored project.

The successful candidate will be responsible for 1) improving land surface model physics by explicitly introducing existing irrigation schemes; 2) run S2S Earth System models with included irrigation 3) identify teleconnections or local changes in precipitation and temperature regimes at S2S temporal scales.  
 
DUTIES
The successful candidate should be passionate and committed, have strong analytical, statistical, and communication skills, possess excellent programming skills, and have background in Earth system modeling. The successful candidate will contribute to the interpretation of results and publication of peer-reviewed journal articles, and conference presentations. The incumbent will also exercise functional supervision over supporting graduate students. As part of the postdoctoral experience, the incumbent will receive mentoring for developing research proposals and participation in career development activities will be strongly encouraged. 
 
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS 
PhD in earth science, hydrology, atmospheric science, or related field 
 
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
·      Demonstrated written and verbal communications skills and scientific excellence
·      Excellent quantitative, computational, and programming skills (e.g., Fortran, MATLAB, Python)
·      Ability to work independently and as part of a larger team
·      Ability to think critically and innovatively 
·      Strong interest in land-atmosphere interactions, and interdisciplinary studies
 
APPOINTMENT
The initial appointment is 100% for two years with the possibility of an extension, based on satisfactory performance and availability of funding.
 
TO APPLY
Please submit your CV and one-to-two pages research statement to Manuela Girotto (mgirotto at berkeley.edu <mailto:mgirotto at berkeley.edu>). Review of candidates will start on Jan. 24th. The project is a collaboration between NASA Goddard Space and Flight Center and UC Berkeley (with co-Is Manuela Girotto, Paolo D’Odorico, Inez Fung) 
 
Please help us spread the word! 
Thanks!
