Columbia University located in Palisades, New York, invites
applications for an Associate Research Scientist position in the
Ocean Carbon Group. <br>
<br>
The position will focus on quantifying and reducing uncertainty in
extrapolations of sparse surface ocean pCO2 observations to global
coverage. The work will involve (1) evaluation of existing
extrapolations for surface ocean pCO2 within an existing testbed
based in Large Ensemble climate models, (2) developing new
extrapolation techniques that include explicit estimates of
uncertainty, and (3) assessing implications for scientific
understanding of the mechanisms of spatial and temporal
variability in the ocean carbon sink. Prior experience with
oceanography, carbon cycle science and statistical methods is
strongly preferred. The candidate will be expected to build strong
links with collaborators in the Department of Statistics and the
Data Science Institute at Columbia, and at NOAA research
laboratories.<br>
