Despite their potential to reveal important information about atmospheric dynamics, this research area remains relatively unexplored.</span> </span></div><div class="" style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span class="" style="font-size: 15px;"><br class=""></span></div><div class="" style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span class="" style="font-size: 15px;"><span class="" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We are looking for a candidate for a Ph.D. position to investigate how convective processes affect the isotopic composition of atmospheric water vapor and rainfall. We will approach this topic in two ways: a numerical approach, using a combination of a state-of-the-art isotopic-enabled cloud resolving model and a Lagrangian particle model; and with observational data, which will be collected in Hawaiʻi. Results from this research will help develop new diagnostic tools for the study of atmospheric systems and also improve the interpretation of isotope records.</span> </span></div><div class="" style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span class="" style="font-size: 15px;"><i class=""><u class="">About the applicant</u></i></span></div><div class="" style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span class="" style="font-size: 15px;"><br class=""></span></div><div class="" style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span class="" style="font-size: 15px;"><span class="" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The candidate is expected to have a bachelor’s degree in atmospheric sciences, mathematics, physics, or a related field, with a strong interest in atmospheric dynamics.
