</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The Climate Variability and Change research group (http://clim-var-change.pres2ip.com/) in the School of Meteorology at the University of Oklahoma (OU) is seeking a postdoctoral research scientist
to examine mechanisms driving precipitation variability across scales and contribute to associated education, diversity, equity, and inclusion activities. This project will utilize a variety of observational data and modeling products, including performing
climate model sensitivity experiments, to understand processes that impact changes in precipitation seasonality from the sub-seasonal through long-term climate change. The successful candidate will work with the research group led by Dr. Elinor Martin as part
of an NSF CAREER project. As such, the candidate would be expected to participate in educational activities associated with the project, including developing precipitation data analysis tools for prospective meteorology students.
<span style="color:#1E1E1C">The scientist will be mentored not only on the research and educational tasks to be completed, but also on professional development topics including career planning, oral and written communication, teaching, and networking.
