<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b>Description of Position:</b> The Department of Physics at the University of Nevada, Reno is seeking applications for a post-doctoral researcher to work on a Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Systems
Research (ASR) project focused on understanding the processes that control the depth and vigor of convective clouds forming over orography. The researcher will lead observational analyses using existing observations from ARM scanning radars and lidars deployed
during the CACTI field campaign. The specific goal of the project is to understand how boundary layer and orographic processes (e.g., thermally or mechanically driven upslope flows) control convective outcomes. These observational analyses will compliment
collaborations with numerical modeling teams investigating the predictability of orographic convection. Ideal candidates will exhibit strengths in some subset of the following: orographic processes (e.g., thermally driven circulations), convective processes,
radar and/or lidar observations, processing and reducing large datasets (e.g., Principal Component Analysis), coding in MATLAB or Python. Previous research need not be closely aligned with the focus of this project and I strongly encourage applicants from
diverse background, including from historically under-represented groups in Atmospheric Science.<br>
<br>
The successful candidate will join a growing research group focused on using state-of-the-science observations to advance our understanding of both fire-generated and orographic convective processes. The researcher will be housed in the Physics Department at
the University of Nevada, Reno and participate in the Atmospheric Science Program, which is run jointly with the Desert Research Institute (DRI). Opportunities to collaborate with researchers at DOE national laboratories (e.g., PNNL) are expected.<o:p></o:p></p>

in 1874, the University serves 20,000 students. The University is a comprehensive, doctoral university, classified as an R1 institution with very high research activity by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education and also earned the
Carnegie Community Engagement classification. More than $800 million in advanced labs, residence halls and facilities has been invested on campus since 2009. It is home to the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine and Wolf Pack Athletics, maintains
a statewide outreach mission and presence through programs such as the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension, Nevada Agricultural Experiment Station, Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, Small Business Development Center, Nevada Seismological Laboratory.
