[ES_JOBS_NET] UCLA postdoctoral position on Arctic climate dynamics and climate intervention

[Jasper Kok]

 Dear colleagues,

The Aerosol–Climate Interactions group <https://jasperfkok.com/> at UCLA is
seeking a postdoctoral scholar to study the climate response to targeted
wintertime polar cooling. The position is part of a Simons
Foundation-supported project
<https://www.simonsfoundation.org/funded-project/exploring-the-potential-for-regionally-cooling-the-earth-by-seeding-wintertime-mixed-phase-clouds/>
assessing
mixed-phase cloud thinning as a proposed climate-intervention concept. The
project does not assume that this approach is feasible, desirable, or
deployable; its goal is to determine how the Arctic and global climate
system would respond, including effects on sea ice, hydrology,
AMOC-relevant ocean stratification, time of emergence, and
Arctic-community-relevant climate variables. The full job ad is here
<https://jasperfkok.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/ucla-postdoc-in-arctic-climate-dynamics-and-intervention.pdf>.


The position offers substantial intellectual ownership, access to UCLA and
NCAR high-performance computing resources, and collaboration with
colleagues at UCLA, Scripps, and the University of Maryland. A summer 2026
start date is preferred, and U.S. citizenship or permanent residency is not
required. Applications received by May 20, 2026 will receive full
consideration, but applications will be reviewed until the position is
filled.

Best wishes,

Jasper Kok
