[Grise, Kevin M (kmg3r)]

The Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia (UVA) invites applications
for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Climate Dynamics.  The successful candidate will design 
and analyze innovative global climate model experiments to study the role of the large-scale 
atmospheric circulation in future climate change, focusing on the atmospheric circulation’s impact 
on either regional hydroclimate or global cloud feedbacks.   
  
QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: A Ph.D. degree in atmospheric science/meteorology, 
computer science, mathematics, statistics, or a related discipline is required by the 
appointment start date.  The candidate must be proficient in programming in Python, 
Matlab, or a similar language.  The most qualified applicants will have: 1) prior experience 
working with large gridded atmospheric science datasets (reanalyses and/or global climate 
model output); 2) prior research experience working with the large-scale atmospheric circulation, 
regional hydroclimate, and/or global cloud feedbacks; and 3) excellent written and oral 
communication skills.  Previous experience running global climate model experiments, 
particularly with the Community Earth System Model (CESM), is highly desired.
