The project is a collaboration with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, UCLA, The University of Connecticut, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research, aimed at a unified approach to moist turbulent processes for boundary layers and deep convection. The position supports an ongoing multi-agency, interdisciplinary Climate Process Team. The team provides opportunities to blend modeling, theory, and observational perspectives. The Climate Process Team is tackling one of the most challenging problems in climate science and atmospheric prediction using one of the world’s leading modeling systems.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>The successful applicant will work with Leo Donner and Ming Zhao at GFDL and multi-institutional team members.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Scientists with backgrounds in general circulation modeling, parameterization development, modeling of atmospheric processes, and diagnostic analysis of interactions between large-scale circulations and cloud processes are especially encouraged to apply.
