 an NSF-funded, university-wide initiative that uses an 
interdisciplinary and data-driven approach to address environmental 
challenges in Hawai‘i and other tropical islands. The research will 
focus on fundamental questions about tropical island climate, including 
how soil moisture-precipitation feedbacks and land-atmosphere 
interactions influence rainfall, how islands shape the organization of 
deep convection, and how island size affects the emergence of local 
weather systems. Within this broad context, the researcher will be 
encouraged to shape the trajectory of the project according to their 
interests.</span></font></div><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br><b>Responsibilities</b></span></font><ul><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Run state-of-the-art cloud-resolving models (e.g., CM1, SAM) on UH’s high-performance computing system (Koa).</span></font></li><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Conduct idealized simulations of tropical island climates and convective systems.</span></font></li><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Analyze numerical simulations and observational data.</span></font></li><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Prepare manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals and present results at scientific meetings.</span></font></li></ul><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><b>Minimum Qualifications</b></span></font><ul><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences or related field.</span></font></li><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">1-3 years of research experience with numerical modeling of atmospheric processes.</span></font></li><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Strong programming skills (e.g., Fortran, C, or C++).</span></font></li><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Solid knowledge of atmospheric convection and climate dynamics.</span></font></li><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Excellent oral and written communication skills.</span></font></li></ul><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><b>Preferred Qualifications</b></span></font><ul><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Experience with HPC environments and large datasets. </span></font></li><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Research background in deep convection and island climates. </span></font></li><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Familiarity with Lagrangian particle models and diagnostic techniques.</span></font></li></ul><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><b>Application Process</b><br>Applicants must apply online via the <a href="https://www.rcuh.com/opportunities/job-openings/">RCUH website</a> (Job ID# 225504). Required materials:<br></span></font><ol><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Cover letter</span></font></li><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Curriculum vitae</span></font></li><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Name and contact information for three professional references</span></font></li><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Copy of degree(s)/transcript(s)/certificate(s)</span></font></li></ol><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><b>Closing date</b>: October 21, 2025, or until the position is filled.<br><b>Inquiries</b>: Dr. Giuseppe Torri (<a href="mailto:gtorri@hawaii.edu">gtorri@hawaii.edu</a>).</span></font></div><div><br></div><div>With best regards,</div><div>Giuseppe </div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><br></div><table border="0" width="470" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"><tbody><tr valign="top"><td style="padding-right:10px;width:50px"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><img src="https://www.hawaii.edu/wp/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Manoa-seal.png" alt="U H Manoa seal" width="50" height="auto"></span></font></td>
