[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc Fellow in Great Lakes Climate Variability Research - University of Michigan, CIGLR (Ann Arbor, MI)

[Margaret Throckmorton]

*Job Opening: **Postdoc Fellow in Great Lakes Climate Variability Research*


*Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes ResearchSchool for Environment and
SustainabilityUniversity of Michigan*

*Summary*
A postdoctoral fellowship is available for a highly qualified individual to
join the Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR:
https://ciglr.seas.umich.edu/). The successful candidate will work with the
climate modeling team at CIGLR to improve our understanding of climate
change and variability in the Great Lakes region. The candidate will work
on an NSF-funded hydrodynamic modeling project, utilizing the Finite Volume
Community Ocean Model (FVCOM) to investigate changes in thermal structure,
ice dynamics, and overturning behavior in the North American Great Lakes.
This work will focus on two overarching research questions:

   - How have extreme events and climate variability in the Great Lakes
   changed over time, and how do we expect them to change in the future?
   - What role do teleconnection patterns (e.g., El Nino/Southern
   Oscillation, North Atlantic Oscillation) and low-frequency climate
   oscillations (e.g., Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, Pacific Decadal
   Oscillation) play in controlling Great Lakes climate variability and
   extreme events?

While the initial geographical focus is on the Great Lakes, the postdoc
fellow is welcome to explore potential expansion of their research to other
large temperate lakes. The postdoc will be expected to maintain a strong
record of scholarly publication, and present at scientific conferences and
public meetings.

The successful applicant's appointment will be with CIGLR, which is part of
the University of Michigan's School for Environment and Sustainability
located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. CIGLR's mission is to lead research,
develop applications and products, and engage with stakeholders to achieve
environmental, economic, and social sustainability in the Great Lakes.
CIGLR is a collaboration between the University of Michigan and NOAA that
brings together experts from academia and government research labs to work
on pressing problems facing the Great Lakes region. The fellow will spend
most of their time at the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research
Laboratory in Ann Arbor and work in close collaboration with colleagues at
the University of Michigan.

*Qualifications*

   - A Ph.D. in physical oceanography, atmospheric sciences, or a similar
   field, with a strong background in ocean or/and ice modeling.
   - Familiarity with data analysis and visualization in a scripting
   environment using R, Python, or similar software.
   - Experience with running simulations on a supercomputer or cluster
   computing environment.
   - Strong communication skills. and demonstrated ability to work both as
   a team and independently.
   - Demonstrated ability to lead the development of manuscripts for
   refereed journal publication.
