[ES_JOBS_NET] Job postings for Brookhaven National Laboratory

[Conroy, Roxanne]

Hello,

We would like to post two openings for Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Aerosol Measurement Specialist
The Environmental & Climate Sciences Department (www.bnl.gov/envsci) at Brookhaven National Laboratory focuses on a wide range of theoretical, experimental, and field studies in support of the U.S. Department of Energy's climate and energy research agendas. Work is supported by the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) User Facility (www.arm.gov), an observations-based program that measures aerosols, clouds, precipitation, radiation, and atmospheric dynamics; the Atmospheric Systems Research Program; and the Environmental System Science Program. This work is pursued with the ultimate goal of improving predictability and reducing the uncertainty in global and regional climate models. The department research portfolio also includes development of environmental technologies and applications for renewable energies, urban science, and national security.
Within the department, the Aerosol Processes Group is focused on improving process-level understanding of aerosol formation and evolution mechanisms, aerosol optical properties, and the influence that aerosols have on clouds formation, lifetime, precipitation. Understanding the physics, chemistry, and dynamics of interactions along this aerosol-cloud-precipitation continuum is crucial for development of a predictive understanding of the climate system. As part of this overarching research goal, the AP group is responsible for operating the DOE ARM User Facility’s Aerosol Observing System (AOS). These observatories contain a suite of instruments that measure various properties of aerosols and related trace gases.
To assure acquisition of the highest quality AOS measurements, BNL has established the Center for Aerosol Measurement Science (CAMS) – a dedicated laboratory for data quality assurance in atmospheric aerosol measurements through traceable calibration standards.
POSITION DESCRIPTION

The Scientific Associate for the DOE ARM is part of the Center for Aerosol Measurement Science (CAMS) and of the ARM Aerosol Observing Systems (https://www.arm.gov/capabilities/instruments/aos).

·        Develop procedures for instrument calibration and maintenance and associated documentation.
·        Gather data from instruments and perform basic data analysis (plotting variables, calculating statistics, etc.)
·        Contribute to the preparation of manuscripts for publication​.
Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
·        BS degree in physical sciences, engineering, IT, or closely related field.
·        Minimum of three (3) years progressively responsible related work experience including supporting scientific research programs following established methods and standards for investigation and experimentation.
·        Ability to work with sophisticated instrumentation.

·        Clear and concise verbal and written communication skills
Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
·        Related graduate degree.
·        Familiarity with ARM operations and systems
·        Understanding of scientific and engineering software such as Igor Pro, Matlab, LabView
Environmental, Health & Safety Requirements:
·        Ability to work in tight spaces.
·        Routinely lift more than 30 pounds
OTHER INFORMATION:
·        This is a fully onsite position located at BNL – Upton, NY
·        Ability to travel (foreign and domestic) in support of instruments.

Postdoctoral Research Associate- Aerosol-Convection Interaction

The Environmental & Climate Sciences Department (www.bnl.gov/envsci<http://www.bnl.gov/envsci>) at Brookhaven National Laboratory focuses on a wide range of theoretical, experimental, and field studies in support of the U.S. Department of Energy's climate and energy research agendas. The majority of the work is supported by the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) User Facility (www.arm.gov<http://www.arm.gov/>), an observations-based program that measures aerosols, clouds, precipitation, radiation, and atmospheric dynamics; the Atmospheric Systems Research Program; and the Environmental Systems Science Program. This work is pursued with the ultimate goal of improving predictability and reducing the uncertainty in global and regional climate models. The department research portfolio also includes development of environmental technologies and applications for renewable energies, urban science, and national security.

The Cloud Processes Group (https://www.bnl.gov/envsci/cloud/) within the Environmental & Climate Sciences Department is widely recognized for its state-of-the-art observational and modeling studies of the microphysical and dynamical processes that impact the lifecycle of clouds, with the aim of improving their representation in earth system models and increase our ability to understand and project global change.
The Cloud Processes group seeks a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join an exciting, collaborative group that spearheads innovative cloud research using modeling, observations, theoretical development, and analysis methodologies for the study of cloud dynamical, microphysical, and radiative processes that impact cloud lifecycle, particularly with a focus on aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions.
The ideal candidate will have a strong interest on the study of processes that impact the lifecycle of deep convective clouds using high-resolution modeling and/or observational data analysis. Research will focus on DOE ARM field campaigns (e.g., TRACER and GoAmazon).
Essential Duties and Responsibilities​
·    Research on atmospheric processes impacting convective cloud lifecycle (e.g., convective initiation, draft dynamics, entrainment, aerosol-convection interactions) using high-resolution modeling and/or observational data analysis.
·    Publish and present research results at national and international venues.
·    Work and communicate effectively in a team-oriented environment.
Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:​
·    Ph.D. degree in meteorology, atmospheric science, or a closely related field.
·    Demonstrated experience in understanding processes that control the lifecycle of clouds and/or aerosol-cloud interactions.
·    Clear and concise verbal and written communication and strong collaborative skills
Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
·    Experience with remote sensing instrumentation for clouds and precipitation (e.g., cloud radar, passive or active satellite sensors).
·    Experience with machine learning techniques.
·    Experience with atmospheric modeling at LES or cloud-resolving scales.
·    Strong programming skills, such as a familiarity with data analysis software (e.g., Python, IDL, MATLAB, R, FORTRAN).
Other:
·    BNL policy requires that research associate appointments be made to individuals who have received their doctorate within the past five years.
·    Review of applications begins immediately.  Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
·    The appointment will be under the direction of Dr. Dié Wang.
