<div style="margin:0px">The College of Earth and Mineral Sciences at The
Pennsylvania State University (University Park, PA) invites
applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar position investigating tropical
cyclones in climate models. The successful candidate
will conduct collaborative research supervised by Assistant Professors
Anthony <span class="gmail-il">Didlake</span> and Colin Zarzycki in the
Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science. The research project
will investigate the physical processes, variability, and model
representation
of tropical cyclone evolution in a suite of high-resolution global
Earth system models. Responsibilities will include identifying and
extracting individual storm events from spatiotemporally continuous
model data, developing novel techniques to evaluate simulations
against reanalysis and observational datasets, leading peer-reviewed
journal articles, and presenting results to scientists in the tropical
cyclone community at conferences and workshops.</div>
<div style="margin:0px"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin:0px">A Ph.D. in atmospheric science or a related
discipline is required by the start date of employment. The initial term
of the appointment is one year from the date of hire, with funding
available for 6 additional months contingent on
successful performance, and possibility of renewal beyond that pending
available funding and satisfactory performance.</div>
<div style="margin:0px"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin:0px">For full consideration, applicants must upload
the following materials with their application: 1.) a cover letter
including a statement of research interests, 2.) a CV, and 3.) names and
contact information for three references. Application
review will begin immediately and will continue until the position is
filled. Preference will be given to applications received before
December 17, 2021. Applicants from demographic groups underrepresented
in the atmospheric sciences are especially encouraged
to apply. For any questions, please contact Anthony <span class="gmail-il">Didlake</span> (<a href="mailto:didlake@psu.edu" target="_blank"><span class="gmail-il">didlake</span>@psu.edu</a>) and/or Colin Zarzycki (<a href="mailto:czarzycki@psu.edu" target="_blank">czarzycki@psu.edu</a>).</div>
