[RegCNET] Postdoctoral Position in Regional Climate Modeling

[Michael Notaro]

Postdoctoral Position in Regional Climate Modeling


The Center for Climatic Research (CCR) at the University of Wisconsin- 
Madison invites applications for a postdoctoral research position to  
investigate lake-effect snowstorms in the Great Lakes Basin.  The  
postdoctoral researcher will be funded under the newly awarded NOAA  
grant, “Observed and Simulated Trends in Heavy Lake Effect Snow  
Events Across the Great Lakes Basin.”  The successful candidate will  
assess observed trends in heavy lake-effect snowstorms and run the  
ICTP RegCM3 regional model over the Great Lakes Basin. The model will  
be forced using both observed climate data and IPCC climate model  
output to assess the impact of climate change on the characteristics  
of heavy lake-effect snowfall events.

We are seeking candidates with a PhD in atmospheric science or  
related science discipline.  The candidate should have experience in  
running climate models and analyzing results, publishing in  
scientific journals, presenting at national conferences, and using  
both fortran and data analysis / visualization software (e.g. NCL,  
Matlab, GrADS).  Regional climate modeling experience (particularly  
using RegCM3) is ideal.

The position is available for up to two years, depending on the  
availability of funding and successful progress by the candidate.   
Starting salary is $40,000.  The position provides for various health  
and other insurance benefits.  For additional information on  
benefits, please see http://info.gradsch.wisc.edu/admin/hr/info/ 
benefitschart.pdf

Applications should be submitted by May 15, 2009 and include a  
curriculum vitae, a state of research interests, and up to three  
professional references.

Please send the application either electronically or through postal  
mail to:
