<div dir="ltr">Dear colleagues,<br><br>I want to draw your attention to an open
position at Princeton/GFDL working on a multi-institution team
investigating momentum flux parameterization in climate models. The
position is aimed at early career scientists and will be filled at a
level commensurate with experience. See below for the full description. <a href="https://puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/apply/application.xhtml?listingId=24261" target="_blank">Applications can be submitted here</a>.

Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Program at Princeton University, in
cooperation with NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL),
seeks a postdoctoral or more senior researcher for a position to
investigate a new higher-order turbulence closure for modeling planetary
boundary layer momentum flux in Earth system models at GFDL. The
researcher will work in collaboration with scientists at Pennsylvania
State University, University of Wisconsin, and National Center for
Atmospheric Research, to include a prognostic treatment of momentum flux
in CLUBB (Cloud Layers Unified By Binormals) higher-order closure for
boundary-layer turbulence. The position will support a multi-agency,
interdisciplinary Climate Process Team. The team will provide unique
opportunities to blend modeling, theory, and observational perspectives.
The Climate Process Team is tackling some of the most challenging
problems in climate science and atmospheric prediction using one of the
world's leading modeling systems.<br>This is a one-year position, but there is a possibility of additional funding becoming available, for up to 2 additional years.<br><br>Successful
applicants will work with Ming Zhao and Leo Donner at GFDL and
multi-institutional team members. Scientists with backgrounds in general
circulation modeling, parameterization development, and modeling of
atmospheric processes are especially encouraged to apply. Candidates
must have a PhD in atmospheric science or a related field. Complete
applications, including a CV, a statement describing research interests
and how they would contribute to the project, and contact information
for 3 references should be submitted by February 15, 2022, 11:59 pm EST
for full consideration. Princeton is interested in candidates who,
through their research, will contribute to the diversity and excellence
of the academic community.
