[ES_JOBS_NET] Scientist position (PhD or MS) at American University, Washington DC

[Valentina Aquila]

Hi all,

I am looking for a scientist to work on a NASA-funded project on volcanic and pyroCbs plumes in the MERRA-2 reanalysis. A PhD is preferred, but someone with a master’s in atmospheric science/meteorology or data science with expertise in handling geo-data would also be a good fit.

The project focuses on the MERRA2 reanalysis, which include assimilation of aerosol optical thickness but not a good model representation of volcanic and pyroCb aerosols. In a nutshell, the goal of the project is to understand a) how plumes are represented in the MERRA2 reanalysis, b) how the presence of plumes impacts data assimilation, c) how we can use analysis increments to derive the radiative impacts of plumes.

The start date is flexible. The location of the position is Washington, DC.

If you are interested, please reach out to me and we can schedule a time to talk, so I can tell you more about the project.

Valentina
