POSITION DESCRIPTION

The Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) at the University of
California San Diego invites applications for a full-time Researcher in the
Oceans and Atmosphere Section. We seek motivated, broad-thinking scientists
to develop a vigorous research group and provide intellectual leadership in
their field while complementing existing expertise in the Center for
Western Weather and Water Extremes (CW3E). The successful candidates will
have expertise emphasizing atmospheric rivers (ARs), with methodologies
including, but not limited to, field and aircraft campaigns, climatological
data analysis, meteorological analysis at local scales, extreme events,
global and/or regional climate modeling, polar applications, forecasting
and nowcasting, including precipitation and hydrological impacts. The
Researcher series at SIO parallels the Professor series in terms of
independent research and service, but it carries no teaching requirements.
Researchers hired under this announcement are expected to have established
an externally funded research program that provides the majority of their
salary support. Researchers at SIO often serve as undergraduate and
graduate student advisors.

SIO has a long history of research excellence at the forefront of
meteorology, climatology and hydrology. We are seeking candidates excited
to continue the tradition of excellence in the subject area of ARs and who
are qualified to take on a leadership role in CW3E program, with level of
leadership commensurate with career level. A key part of this role involves
independence, demonstrated by publication of novel scientific findings in
forefront journals and leading the conception, organization and execution
of research projects. The successful candidate will also have demonstrated
a commitment to building an equitable and diverse scholarly environment. We
are open to hiring at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Researcher levels.
Full time residency at UCSD is required for this position.

SIO is a world-renowned center of marine research with approximately 200
principal investigators leading research programs on all aspects of earth,
ocean, biological, and atmospheric sciences. SIO is dedicated to advancing
belonging, accessibility, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion
(BAJEDI) for all who are or wish to be members of our community. We welcome
candidates who have had non-traditional career paths or who have taken time
off for family reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside
academia. Information about SIO’s ongoing diversity efforts may be found
here: https://scripps.ucsd.edu/diversity. Successful candidates must
demonstrate a commitment to promoting and contributing to BAJEDI in SIO’s
educational, research, and work environments.
QUALIFICATIONS
*Basic qualifications* (required at time of application)

The positions require a PhD in Atmospheric or Climate Sciences or
relevant/related fields, and that candidates have a record of publication,
as well as evidence of the ability to conduct and fund an active research
program consistent with career level. As part of duties and
responsibilities, the candidate must demonstrate the ability to obtain
extramural funding (i.e. previous experience; well articulated plan of
securing extramural funding), and must presently have a funded research
program that can be transferred to UCSD.
