<h3 id="gmail-description">Position description</h3>
<div class="gmail-section"><p>A Postdoctoral
researcher is sought to collaborate on simulating the effect of
midlatitude air-sea interactions on the properties of Pacific decadal
climate variability (PDV). This is part of a multi-institutional
collaborative research project with PIs at UCSB, Brown University, and
the University of Colorado, with a focus on improving understanding of
high-resolution Kuroshio-Oyashio Extension (KOE) dynamics and its
contribution to PDV in coupled climate models. The Postdoctoral scholar
will have primary responsibility for the generation and analysis of new
simulations with the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) in the
variable-resolution configuration, to isolate the role of increased
resolution in the KOE region in affecting both PDV and precipitation in
western North America. The Postdoc scholar will work closely with Dr.
Samatha Stevenson-Michener. They will also lead research in the
atmosphere and climate dynamics responsible for these effects, in
collaboration with other project team members. More information on this
project can be found here: <a href="http://www.pdv-tools.org" rel="nofollow">www.pdv-tools.org</a></p>
<p>This is a full-time position. Competitive salary and benefits
commensurate with experience. The initial appointment is for 2 years
with the potential for an additional year based on satisfactory
performance and funding availability.</p>
<p>The University is especially interested in candidates who can
contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community
through research, teaching, and service as appropriate to the position.</p>
