[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc - severe convective storms and climate change (Purdue University)

[Dan Chavas]

*The position: *The *Climate and Extreme Weather Laboratory*
<http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~dchavas/> led by Prof. Dan Chavas, and the *Storm
and Tornado Modeling Laboratory (STorMLab)
<http://stormlab.eaps.purdue.edu/>* led by Prof. Dan Dawson—both in
the Department
of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences
<http://www.eaps.purdue.edu/> (EAPS)
at Purdue University—have one *post-doctoral research scientist* position
available with a tentative start date of *June 1, 2024* (some
flexibility). The research project will use idealized storm-scale numerical
simulations to understand how severe convective storms and their hazards
will change with global warming over the United States. This position is
fully funded by a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant in collaboration
with Prof. Alex Anderson-Frey and her lab at the University of
Washington. The candidate will lead all execution and analysis of their
research, present their findings at major conferences, and publish their
work in top journals in our field. The candidate will also be given freedom
to spend time pursuing novel scientific interests of their own on any topic.



*Research environment and career development: *The candidate will work
closely in a dynamic, team-oriented environment in the research labs of
Profs. Chavas and Dawson and collaborators. The candidate will have
opportunities for career and professional development, including presenting
at conferences, publishing papers in major scientific journals, mentoring
graduate and undergraduate students, and writing competitive grants.



*About our groups: *Society is vulnerable to a range of extreme weather
phenomena, including hurricanes and tornadoes. We use observations, theory,
and computer models to understand the underlying physics of these
phenomena. Improved understanding will help us better predict their
associated hazards that impact our world. We also continuously seek to
foster a diverse and supportive culture within our research groups.



*About Purdue EAPS:* Purdue EAPS is a broad department with a large and
vibrant group of young faculty conducting research across atmospheric and
climate science, environmental science, geology and geophysics, and
planetary science, including planetary atmospheres. EAPS is a leader in the
study of both weather and climate, including extreme weather. Purdue
University boasts one of the best collections of high-performance research
computing systems <https://www.rcac.purdue.edu/> in the country maintained
by a strong and active computing support staff to serve all your computing
needs. Purdue is also a world-class engineering and data science school
with strong interdisciplinary interests in the impacts of weather and
climate on the environment and society, including the Purdue Institute for
a Sustainable Future <https://research.purdue.edu/isf/>.



*Qualifications:* The candidate is required to have a Ph.D. in atmospheric
science or a closely related field or anticipate receiving their degree in
the next 3 months. The candidate should have:

(1) Experience conducting research in atmospheric science or closely
related field.

(2) Experience running and analyzing cloud-resolving numerical models.
Experience with Cloud Model 1 (CM1)
<https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/people/bryan/cm1/> for convective storm
simulations is particularly beneficial but not required.

(3) Proficient verbal and written communication skills as evidenced by
published results and presentations.



*To apply:* Please send an email with subject line “Interest in
postdoctoral opportunity on severe weather” to both Dan Chavas (
dchavas at purdue.edu) and Dan Dawson (dandawson at purdue.edu) with (1) a few
sentences about why you are interested in the position, (2) your CV, and
(3) a list of names and contact information for three references. If you
have any questions about the position/project you may also simply send us
an email and we’ll gladly get back to you with more information.



Thanks!



The Dans
