This position, funded by the Department of Energy (DOE) project, will offer the successful candidate a unique opportunity to engage in a project focusing on convective clouds in a subtropical coastal metropolitan region. The project aims to improve our understanding of the interactions between convective clouds and their surrounding environments, a key challenge for numerical weather prediction and Earth system models. The project will leverage unique datasets from the DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Tracking Aerosol Convection Interactions Experiment (TRACER) field campaign in the Houston area. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with these datasets and high-resolution model simulations to test hypotheses on the key processes that control the properties of individual convective cells in a warm and humid subtropical coastal metropolitan region.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;
