[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Scholar - Corvallis, Oregon, USA - Tropical clouds and climate dynamics

[Jenney, Andrea]

Dr. Andrea Jenney at Oregon State University invites applications to fill a Postdoctoral Scholar position working on an NSF-sponsored project investigating regional variations in tropical cloud radiative effects and anvil clouds over the oceanic ITCZs. The broader goals of the project are to reduce uncertainty in cloud feedbacks and Earth’s climate sensitivity.

Compensation: 12-month (1.0 FTE) with annual salary of $65,000 - $76,000 USD (amount commensurate with experience). Benefits information may be found at the OSU Postdoctoral Scholars Benefits page<https://hr.oregonstate.edu/benefits/current-employees/postdoctoral-scholars>.

Location: College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, USA

Position duties:
Research and Scholarship (85%): The successful applicant will, in collaboration with Dr. Andrea Jenney, perform observational data analyses, design/run/analyze numerical model experiments with climate and/or cloud resolving models, and/or develop theoretical models, with the approaches used dependent upon postdoc interests and skills; lead and contribute to peer-reviewed publications.

Professional Development (15%): Work to establish a record of accomplishments and skills aligned with self-identified career goals. The postdoctoral scholar may further these goals by, for example, providing service to committees, working groups, and panels of professional organizations, CEOAS, and/or OSU; by participating in organizing professional meetings; and/or by reviewing abstracts, articles, and proposals.

Minimum requirements

  *   Ph.D in atmospheric science, Earth science, climate dynamics, applied mathematics, physics or a related field (at the time of appointment)
  *   Background in climate dynamics and atmospheric convection
  *   Strong oral and written communication skills (English language), with record of peer-reviewed publications in an established area of expertise related to Earth, Ocean, and/or Atmospheric Science
  *   Excellent data analysis skills
  *   Proficiency in Python or similar languages for scientific analysis
  *   Initiative to expand skills and expertise
  *   Ability to work both collaboratively and independently

Preferred requirements

  *   Experience configuring, running, and analyzing numerical climate, ocean, atmosphere, or fluid dynamics models
  *   Experience with high performance computing is preferred although training and support is available
  *   Familiarity with radiative transfer, cloud feedbacks, and/or cloud microphysics

Start date: October 1, 2025 though some flexibility in start date is available

To Apply:
Send the following (in one PDF document) to Andrea Jenney (andrea.jenney at oregonstate.edu)

  *   Complete CV (with academic transcripts)
  *   Letter of interest and experience (2 pages max)
  *   Contact information of two references

Applications received before August 1, 2025 will receive full consideration.
