Studies (GISS) invite applicants for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist position to conduct research into stratosphere-troposphere coupling in the tropics, with the goal of helping improve the performance of global climate model parameterizations and constrain
their predictions of changes in surface climate and teleconnections between the tropics and high latitudes. Appointment is made annually and is contingent upon funding and performance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:13.0pt;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">The successful candidate will use NASA/GISS climate models and multiple sources of observed data to study the
processes of coupling between the stratosphere and the troposphere via several pathways, including modulation of the Madden-Julian Oscillation by the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO), modulation of the QBO by the El-Nino Southern Oscillation, and possible
interactions between variability in the stratospheric polar vortex and the QBO. The goal is to use these analyses to improve the GISS global climate model and make the model response to changes in stratospheric dynamical and compositional changes more coherent
and more skillful. The postdoc will be expected to perform original research, present the results of the research at scientific meetings, and publish first-author papers in peer-reviewed journals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
