JOB TITLE:
Post Doctoral Research Scientist or Associate Research Scientist
JOB PURPOSE:
The University of Wyoming department of Atmospheric Science is seeking to fill two postdoctoral/associate research science positions in one of the following fields: Aerosol cloud interactions, cloud radiative effect and cloud feedback, atmospheric chemistry,extreme weather events, or planning observational deployments. The hired candidate will join an existing team to work on the on the Perturbed parameter ensemble Regression Optimization Center for Earth system model Evaluation and Development PROCEED; ****************************** project. PROCEED is a Department of Energy (DOE) supported initiative at the University of Wyoming and University of Hawaii at Manoa focused on reducing uncertainty in Earth System Model (ESM) predictions at the seasonal to decadal scale. Earth System Models need to be able to predict environmental change decades into the future at a global scale, but many of the processes that dominate prediction uncertainty operate at a scale of micrometers and seconds, like chemistry, aerosols, clouds, and precipitation. To tackle this problem, we have to develop parameterizations to represent these phenomena within global models. PROCEED leverages the University of Wyoming allocation on the NCAR-Wyoming supercomputer Derecho (************************************* to probe uncertainty from parameterized processes in the DOE Energy Exascale ESM (E3SM). Using state-of-the-art, process-level constraint from the DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program, PROCEED will work with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the UW School of Computing to better understand the Earth system and improve seasonal-to-decadal predictability. Within this collaboration, University of Wyoming is focusing on developing novel perturbed process ensembles (PPEs) in E3SM while University of Hawaii at Manoa uses large eddy simulations to better understand how ARM observations can be used to confront, constrain, and understand global environmental predictability in E3SM.
University of Wyoming seeks to fill two positions. Positions will be at the postdoctoral level or associate research scientist level, depending on experience. Candidates should have a doctoral degree in atmospheric science or a closely-related field. Research scientists will be expected to conduct research at a higher level of independence and contribute significantly to the development of the project. PROCEED focuses on research in the following areas, with successful candidates having experience and publications relevant to one or more of the areas:
• Aerosol-cloud interactions
• Cloud radiative effect and cloud feedback
• Atmospheric chemistry (with a focus on oxidation)
• High-impact events such as, but not limited to, drought and rainfall
• Planning observational deployments including surface sites (i.e., ARM mobile facilities including ship observations) and aircraft
Successful candidates should have some experience with ESMs, analysis of large volumes of data, observations relevant to ARM, and high performance computing. Core components of duties for this position are leading (writing) peer-reviewed publications creating data sets for community use, and coordinating with university and national lab collaborators. This position will be part of the first of two 2-year renewals of PROCEED.
Candidates will join a lively research effort of 3 research scientists and 2 graduate students and a collegial department of 7 faculty, ~25 graduate students, 6 postdoctoral scholars, 7 research scientists, and 7 engineers/technicians. In addition to access to the flagship National Science Foundation (NSF) supercomputer, the University of Wyoming Atmospheric Science Department hosts one of three aircraft in the NSF Lower Atmosphere Observing Facility (LAOF; *************************************************************** giving candidates the chance to learn from world-leading observational scientists.
