[ES_JOBS_NET] 2-yr Postdoc Associate in climate modeling at Department of Earth Sciences, UConn, Storrs, CT

[Ran Feng]

The Computational Climate Change Laboratory in the University of
Connecticut Department of Earth Sciences is seeking a Postdoctoral
Scientist to work on a NSF-funded project on reducing climate model
uncertainty with proxy data from Cenozoic warm intervals. The successful
candidate will join a team of scientists from multiple U.S. institutions to
identify model parameter space that allows successful simulations of
Cenozoic warm intervals and present-day.



The candidate will take a lead role in developing perturbed parameter
ensemble simulations and statistical models to sample model parameter space
and compare simulations with proxy records. The successful candidate will
have prior experience in setting up user-defined simulations with a complex
model on a high performance computing cluster, and background knowledge on
Cenozoic climate and model development. The candidate should be able to
work independently or as part of a research team, and should have a strong
commitment to mentoring graduate and undergraduate students in the lab.



More information on the laboratory and Department of Earth Sciences can be
found at C3 Lab <https://climatechangelab.earthsciences.uconn.edu/> and
www.earth.uconn.edu.





Minimum Qualifications:



The position requires a Doctorate (Ph.D.) in Earth Sciences or related
discipline and experience in climate modeling.



Preferred Qualifications:

Preferred qualifications include prior experience in setting up complex
climate model simulations, a strong background in paleoclimate and
statistical data analysis, and a record of publishing their work in high
quality journals.



Appointment Terms:



This project is supported for up to two years, pending satisfactory
progress during the first year, and covers an annual stipend with a
benefits package. Anticipated appointment date is March 1st, 2025 but
candidates requiring an earlier or later start date will be considered.
