Columbia University Seeks Postdoctoral Researcher

Published: 10 September 2012

Columbia University’s Center for Climate Systems Research (CCSR) invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher to work on detailed cloud-resolving model (CRM) simulations of midlatitude deep convection and make extensive comparisons of CRM results with in situ, radar, and satellite measurements. The position is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric System Research program and will focus primarily on the recent Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment. The position will be two years in duration and will involve close collaboration with researchers at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and other institutions.

A PhD in applied mathematics, physics, engineering, meteorology, or a related field is required, and advanced scientific programming skills are essential. Background experience in radar meteorology or atmospheric radiative transfer is preferred.

Applicants should submit via e-mail a curriculum vitae, a brief statement of research interests, and contact information for three references to Christopher Shashkin. Applications will be reviewed as they are received.

The work will be conducted at NASA/Goddard Institute for Space Studies, located in New York City, and the position administered by Columbia University, which is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
