Mission:

Woodwell Climate Research Center (Woodwell) conducts science for solutions
at the nexus of climate, people, and nature. We partner with leaders and
communities for just meaningful impact to address the climate crisis.

Summary/Objective:

Join Woodwell’s NASA Arctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) team as
a Postdoctoral Researcher to support a modeling project that investigates
the impacts of changing ecosystem greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and albedo
on atmosphere radiative forcing within the Arctic-boreal zone. The
Postdoctoral Researcher will work directly as a member of the ABoVE science
community to assist with an ongoing multi-model comparison of bottom-up CO2
and CH4 flux budget estimates for the Arctic-boreal domain. The
Postdoctoral Researcher will also lead the radiative forcing component of
this study, using the compiled bottom-up GHG budgets, in addition to
gridded fire emission products and gridded satellite-based albedo products
as drivers. This position requires a background in atmospheric modeling,
experience with computer coding and high-performance computing, and the
ability to work independently.

Responsibilities:

Work with and analyze gridded GHG flux data provided from multiple
bottom-up machine learning and process-based models. Compare the bottom-up
flux data with GHG estimates provided through atmospheric inversions.

   -

   Work with additional gridded datasets of satellite-informed wildfire
   emissions and albedo.
   -

   Prepare bottom-up carbon flux data for inclusion into atmosphere
   radiative forcing models (i.e., derive input atmosphere GHG concentrations
   from flux products).
   -

   Work with atmosphere radiative transfer model to identify changes in
   radiative forcing due to spatiotemporal changes in terrestrial and aquatic
   GHG flux and albedo.
   -

   Execute a variety of complex research procedures with little supervision.
   -

   Schedule own work and lead project implementation with minimal
   supervision.
   -

   Assist in project planning and contribute to data analysis, and
   interpretation.
   -

   Lead and assist with manuscript preparation.
   -

   Serve as a member of the NASA ABoVE science team; participate in virtual
   working group meetings; attend annual ABoVE science team meeting.
   -

   Present research at annual American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall
   meetings.
   -

   Attend Woodwell’s weekly (virtual) Arctic group lab meeting.

Required Qualifications and Experience

Ph.D. (or while obtaining the Ph.D.) in atmospheric science, applied
mathematics, statistics, or earth system sciences.

   -

   Scientific modeling and working with various coding languages (e.g.,
   Fortran, C++, Python), 2+ years of experience.
   -

   Working with atmosphere radiative transfer models.
   -

   Multi-dimensional process model output, advanced statistical techniques,
   and manipulating large data sets.
   -

   Familiarity with Linux/Unix systems and/or supercomputing systems.
   -

   Excellent written and oral communication skills.
   -

   Ability to work independently and in a highly collaborative environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

   -

   Working with atmosphere transport and/or inverse modeling is a plus.
   -

   Knowledge of regional and global carbon cycles and experience working
   with atmosphere GHG data (CO2 and CH4).
   -

   Interest in climate change impacts on the northern high latitude
   Arctic-boreal region (including permafrost region).
   -

   Ability to meet requirements for access to NASA computing systems.

Physical Requirements:

   -

   Ability to tolerate sustained periods of walking, standing, sitting
   -

   Ability to lift 25 pounds
   -

   Ability to communicate
   -

   Ability to kneel, bend, and carry items
   -

   Ability to use phone and computers
   -

   Repetitive movements
   -

   Air, train, vehicle travel to attend meetings/event

Application review will be ongoing.

Desired Start Date: March/April 2024(some flexibility).

Fixed-term: Two years after start date.

Classification and Compensation: This is a full-time, salaried, exempt
position, the annual salary range is $69,000.00 to $75,000.00 dependent on
qualifications/experience. Woodwell offers a generous benefits package and
work life balance.

Location: Falmouth, Massachusetts or remote.

Application Instructions: To apply, please send your cover letter
addressing your experience and qualifications in relation to the
responsibilities of this position, curriculum vitae, and contact
information for three references as a single PDF to our career’s portal.
Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Woodwell

WE NEED ALL VOICES IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate change is the greatest challenge of our lifetimes. Woodwell Climate
Research Center (Woodwell) understands that the climate crisis—from causes
to consequences—is inextricably linked with persistent social injustice.
Effectively addressing either requires addressing both. The climate crisis
demands that we bring to bear all of the knowledge, expertise, innovation,
and creativity that we can collectively muster, and those who have been
marginalized and disproportionately impacted must be heard.

The work Woodwell does—the questions we ask, the ways we seek answers, and
the strategies we put forward—is stronger when shaped by a diversity of
knowledge, perspectives, and experiences. We strive to welcome, respect,
and amplify differing voices. We value individuals as they are, with all
their differences in race, age, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual
orientation, religious beliefs, language, and mental and physical abilities.

Woodwell acknowledges that our organization, and the scientific community
more broadly, have a long way to go in living up to these ideals. We
approach the work of improving our organization with the same ambition and
commitment to systemic change that we bring to addressing climate change.

We will inevitably make mistakes, but we will continue to listen, learn,
and do this critical work. We understand that this work requires an ongoing
commitment from each and every one of us. We are actively engaged in
building and sustaining an equitable and inclusive culture within our
organization, and in fostering greater diversity in climate science.
