postdoctoral research associate will be responsible for studying climate
benefits due to the mitigation of methane emissions with an Earth system model.
Specifically, the postdoctoral research associate will collaborate with the NCAR
team to implement the methane flux module into the Community Earth System Model
(CESM2) and validate the model performance against various observational
records. Further numerical experiments will be performed to understand the role
of methane in past climate change and future mitigation. The documentation of
model results will be published in peer-reviewed journals.</span></p>
