*Research Scientist I: Radar Meteorology
Department of Atmospheric Science
Rutledge Research Group
Colorado State University*

The Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University 
invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher or early career 
research scientist in the area of radar meteorology to conduct radar 
related research. As a member of Dr. Steven Rutledge's team and the 
larger CSU-CHILL National Weather Radar Facility 
(www.chill.colostate.edu 
<http://www.atmos.colostate.edu/dept/www.chill.colostate.edu>), this 
position will engage in cutting-edge research in a variety of 
radar-related areas (seehttp://radarmet.atmos.colostate.edu) 
<http://radarmet.atmos.colostate.edu/>. This position will be physically 
located at our CSU Fort Collins foothills location. The CSU-CHILL 
National Weather Radar Facility, located in Greeley, CO, is an advanced, 
transportable dual-polarized S-band weather radar system. The facility 
is operated by Colorado State University, under the sponsorship of the 
National Science Foundation <http://www.nsf.gov/> and the University. In 
Rutledge's research group, Research Scientists also play a significant 
role in mentoring graduate student members. CSU offers great benefits, 
PTO, and employee study privilege opportunities as well as a 
professional Research Scientist career advancement opportunity.

Job Responsibilities include:

  * Analyze Doppler and polarimetric radar data observations in warm
    season and cold season precipitation events/li>
  * Conduct research on mid-latitude and tropical convection to study
    their dynamical, cloud microphysical, and lightning characteristics
  * Relate the radar observations to cloud resolving and mesoscale model
    simulations

Minimum Qusalifications

  * PhD in Atmospheric Science or Electrical Engineering with work in
    radar data. Applicants may be considered who can demonstrate they
    will complete their Ph.D. by December of 2012.
  * Extensive knowledge of Doppler radar data and analysis techniques
  * Knowledge of storm dynamics and microphysics

Desired Qualifications

  * Knowledge of atmospheric electricity
  * Interest in field project participation

Applicants should submit a cover letter describing their research 
interest in the area of Doppler and polarimetric research, curriculum 
vitae with relevant publications (up to four pages combined), and the 
names and contact information of three references electronically to:
