[ES_JOBS_NET] postdoc position - Statistical Downscaling for Heat & Health Applications (NOAA & Princeton U. - New Jersey)

[Keith Dixon - NOAA Federal]

Postdoc Position - Statistical Downscaling for Heat & Health Applications

Princeton University's Atmospheric and Oceanic (AOS) Sciences Program, 
in cooperation with NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), 
NOAA's Climate Program Office (CPO), and NOAA's National Centers for 
Environmental Information (NCEI), seeks applications for a postdoctoral 
research scientist. This position is based at NOAA's Geophysical Fluid 
Dynamics Laboratory / Princeton University. The successful candidate's 
project will be coordinated with GFDL's Empirical Statistical 
Downscaling (ESD) science team, and will be directly relevant to public 
health audiences' use of climate projections for decision-making.

The formal position announcement is 
_https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/29621 _

Please visit www.gfdl.noaa.gov/heat-and-health-downscaling 
<http://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/heat-and-health-downscaling> for additional 
information about the project and current team members.

We seek applicants with a Ph.D. or equivalent experience in atmospheric, 
climate, or other physical or environmental sciences, statistics, 
applied mathematics, or related disciplines. Candidates keenly 
interested in developing actionable science that transfers knowledge 
gained from climate models to health decision makers are encouraged to 
apply. Candidates should be skilled in the application of statistical 
methods, including uncertainty analysis, and be familiar with North 
American climate. Programming skills in R or Python are highly 
desirable, as are strong communication skills. Other beneficial 
experiences include prior work with downscaled multi-decadal climate 
projections and/or machine learning methods, and interdisciplinary 
experience bridging climate science with public health sector applications.

Broadly speaking, this is an effort aiming to strengthen links between 
the people who generate climate change projection data products and 
those who use that info in decision-making relevant applications -- in 
this case heat and health applications. Project specifics will be 
determined by the candidate's experience and alignment of project goals 
with NOAA priorities.

This position is subject to Princeton University's background check 
policy. 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
