[RegCNET] PhD opening in regional climate modeling and analysis at Iowa State University

[Raymond Arritt]

Iowa State University has an immediate opening for a PhD student to 
begin studies in the Fall 2017 term. The student will be a member of a 
multi-institutional team sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy to 
compare different methods for modeling climate variability and change 
along with their impacts on the energy-water-land nexus.

Responsibilities of this position include regional climate modeling over 
the continental United States using the International Centre for 
Theoretical Physics Regional Climate Model (RegCM).  The student will 
develop and apply performance metrics to output from global and regional 
climate models in order to develop a deeper understanding of model 
behavior, skill and uncertainty. The student also will work closely with 
collaborators who are using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT).

The position requires programming experience in Fortran or C along with 
strong English oral and written communication skills. The university's 
admissions requirements are summarized at
