Postdoctoral or Post-masters Assistant -- Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)



The Atmospheric Science and Global Change Division at Pacific Northwest
National Laboratory (PNNL) is seeking a postdoctoral or post-masters
scientist to assist with the analysis and application of measurements
from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program, with an
emphasis on the Tropical Western Pacific (TWP) sites. The successful
candidate will join a research group that has a wide range of interests
in cloud radiative forcing and feedbacks, including retrieval algorithm
development, data analysis, and model development and evaluation, with
an overall goal of using ARM measurements to improve the representation
of clouds and radiation in climate models.


Potential research directions include development and implementation of
optimal estimation cloud property retrieval algorithms, development of
statistical methods to combine ground-based and satellite observations
to provide spatial extension of ARM cloud and radiation measurements,
and use of ARM data to evaluate cloud, radiation, and dynamics feedbacks
in cloud resolving and global climate models. The successful candidate
will be expected to contribute as a co-author or lead author on
scientific journal articles and present work at scientific meetings.


Applicants should have a Ph.D. in atmospheric science, applied
mathematics, or a related field, working knowledge of one or more
programming languages such as Fortran, C, C++, Matlab, or IDL, and
experience working in a Unix/Linux environment. Prior experience in
developing remote sensing algorithms or use of ARM and/or satellite
datasets is highly desirable. Highly qualified applicants with an M.S.
in atmospheric science or a related field will be considered.


Please apply online at http://jobs.pnl.gov (ID #114647) or contact Dr.
Sally McFarlane (sally.mcfarlane@pnl.gov). More information about the
Atmospheric Science and Global Change Division can be found online at
http://www.pnl.gov/atmospheric/.
