[ES_JOBS_NET] PhD Position on Land-Atmosphere Interactions in Drought at University of Nebraska-Lincoln

[Liang Chen]

Dear colleagues,


The hydroclimatology group (https://sites.google.com/site/liangclimate) in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at University of Nebraska-Lincoln is inviting applications for a PhD position in land-atmosphere interactions and climate modeling. The PhD student will work on a recently funded project about land-atmosphere interactions in flash drought over the US. The research topics include: characterizing flash droughts and conventional droughts in the US using different datasets and metrics; diagnosing the land-surface and atmospheric processes before and during droughts; and quantifying the land-surface contributions to flash drought development using a novel set of WRF experiments.


Required qualifications:

  *   BS or MS degree in Meteorology, Climatology, Hydrology, or a closely related discipline
  *   Research experience in climate data analysis and climate modeling
  *   Strong programming skills (e.g., Fortran, Matlab, Python, R, or NCL)
  *   Excellent written and oral communication skills



This is a fully funded research assistant (RA) position, with an expected start date in January 2025 or earlier. If you are interested or have any questions, please contact Liang Chen at liangchen at unl.edu<mailto:liangchen at unl.edu>.

Best regards,



-Liang
