Penn State’s Earth and Environmental Systems Institute (EESI) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar position focused on the analysis and development of localized climate projections through regional climate modeling and empirical/statistical downscaling
methods. Successful candidates will join a multi-institutional and transdisciplinary research team with interests in basic climate science, climate risk management, multisector dynamics, and climate data product development. The work of the team is supported
both internally (<a href="https://clima.psu.edu" title="https://clima.psu.edu">https://clima.psu.edu</a>,
<a href="https://psirc.psu.edu" title="https://psirc.psu.edu">https://psirc.psu.edu</a>) and by external awards from multiple federal agencies, including NSF, NOAA (<a href="https://midatlanticrisa.org" title="https://midatlanticrisa.org">https://midatlanticrisa.org</a>),
and DOE (<a href="https://pches.psu.edu" title="https://pches.psu.edu">https://pches.psu.edu</a>,

<div class="ContentPasted1">Applicants must have completed all requirements for a Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g. meteorology, hydrology, statistics, etc.) prior to the starting date of their appointment. Prior experience running regional climate models (preferably
WRF) and/or downscaling outputs from global climate models using empirical/statistical methods is essential. Competitive candidates will have strong computational and quantitative skills, familiarity with climate datasets, and a clear orientation toward transdisciplinary
collaboration. Proficiency in one or more relevant programming languages (e.g. R, Python, NCL, Julia, Fortran) and evidence of effective scholarly communication are both essential. Experience working in a high-performance Linux cluster computing environment
is also highly desirable. Applications must be submitted online and should include a cover letter and a curriculum vitae, both submitted as PDF files. The cover letter (maximum 2 pages) should succinctly describe your <span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">background
and specific interest in this opportunity. The curriculum vitae (also a maximum of 2 pages) should focus on the elements of your educational record, research experience, technical skills, and scholarly output most relevant to the position. Applicants are strongly
encouraged to include links to examples of relevant, prior work in their application materials. Additional supporting materials may be requested from candidates who are selected for further review.</span></div>
