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

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
