Post-Doctoral Position: Using AIRS Satellite Data to improve WRF model forecasts.
The University of North Carolina Charlotte invites applications for a post-doctoral
position in the Department of Geography and Earth Sciences. We seek a highly
motivated postdoctoral research associate with experience in mesoscale modeling
(the WRF model, preferably) and ensemble based data assimilation (DaRT,
or the LETKF, preferably) to conduct research on improving model forecasts
of the PBL via the assimilation of AIRS satellite data. An extensive set
of PBL data was collected during a meteorological field measurement program
that took place in the Salt Lake Valley during October 2000, called VTMX
(Vertical Transport and MiXing).
Interested applicants should submit curriculum vitae, a cover letter including
a brief statement of research interest, and a list of names and addresses
(including email addresses) of three professional references. Only United
States Citizens are eligible for this position.
Applications will be reviewed as received and the position kept open until
filled. The position begins on January 1, 2008, and the initial appointment
is for eight months. Applications or requests for more information should
be directed to:
