[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc position in Regional Hydroclimate at the University of Illinois Chicago

[Akinsanola, Akintomide]

The Climate Research Group (https://www.akinsanola.com/) at the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Illinois Chicago, invites applications for one postdoctoral position in tropical and midlatitude climate dynamics and regional hydroclimate. Potential research areas include high-resolution dynamic downscaling using the Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model, attribution of regional precipitation changes, regional climate change at convective-resolving spatial scales, land-atmosphere interactions, and extreme weather and climate events.



The successful candidate will work with Dr. Akintomide Afolayan Akinsanola and will be expected to prepare and run and/or use global or regional climate model simulations, analyze the outputs, write peer-reviewed journal articles, provide support to graduate students, and contribute to an active scientific environment in the department through group meetings and seminars.



Qualifications:

The selected candidate must have recently completed a Ph.D. in climate and atmospheric science or a closely related field and must be able to demonstrate the following essential criteria: (a) a track record of producing high-quality research publications in peer-reviewed journals and conferences, commensurate with experience; (b) a strong background in tropical and midlatitude climate dynamics and regional hydroclimate; and (c) research experience involving using/simulating global/regional climate models and strong programming skills (such as NCL, Python, R or equivalent) to handle large datasets on high-performance computing resources. The starting date is January 2024, contingent upon completing all documentation required for employment and salary will be highly competitive along with a competitive benefits package.



Complete applications (including a CV, publication list, Ph.D. certificate, and 1-2-page research statement) should be forwarded to aakinsan at uic.edu<mailto:aakinsan at uic.edu>. Short-listed candidates will be asked to provide three letters of recommendation. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
