The Computational Earth Sciences group of the Computer Science and Mathematics Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory seeks to hire a Post Doctoral Researcher to participate in research involving the development of approaches to investigate natural and anthropogenic hydroclimate variability at regional and local scales. Using a suite of global-to-regional scale climate models and observational datasets, this research will improve the quantitative understanding of nature of interactions between fine-scale hydroclimate processes and large-scale climate forcing, and role of such interactions in the occurrence of high-intensity low-frequency hydro-climate extremes at multi-decadal time scales.
The successful candidate will be expected to:
1) Play a key role in the planning and execution of multi-model-driven ultra-high resolution global and regional climate modeling experiments
2) Analyze, present and publish research results in scientific conferences and peer-reviewed journals
3) Coordinate and collaborate with researchers at ORNL and other DOE National Labs.
Minimum Qualification: Candidates must have received a PhD in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences or a related field within the past five years from an accredited college or university.
Required Skills:
1) Strong understanding of current climate modeling techniques with demonstrated expertise in the use and application of a Regional Climate Model.
2) Demonstrated ability to perform comprehensive analysis of large climate datasets through advanced data analysis techniques and evaluation matrices.
3) Excellent oral and written communication skills.
4) Good publications record in peer-reviewed journals.
5) Expertise in one of the programming languages such as Fortran, C, and analysis packages such as MATLAB, IDL, NCL.
Desired Skills:
1) Knowledge of North American climate and global monsoon systems
2) Experience in the use of Global Climate Models data
3) Experience in the use of climate models output in process-based hydrological applications and statistical hydrology
We anticipate it to be a two years position, dependent on continuing funding. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
Technical Questions: For more information about this position please contact Dr. Moetasim Ashfaq (mashfaq@ornl.gov<mailto:mashfaq@ornl.gov>). Please reference this position title in your correspondence.

Dear Colleagues,
We have a collaborative research on fire-climate-human interactions in
Southern California, and are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to
start as soon as possible. Please forward the ad below to anyone you know
of who may be qualified and
interested.
Thanks,
Yufang

Postdoctoral researcher in fire-climate-vegetation-human interactions, the
University of California, Irvine
The Department of Earth System Science at the University of California,
Irvine (UCI) seeks a postdoctoral scholar to work on an interdisciplinary
study of the fires in southern California. The overall goal is to improve
understanding of how fire responds to climate change, vegetation dynamics,
and human activities. Example areas of scientific inquiry include, but are
not limited to, (1) investigating how vegetation, fire weather, and land
use control contemporary fires, and (2) modeling how fires and their
impacts in ecosystems are going to change in the future. This is a
collaborative research with colleagues at Jet Propulsion Laboratory and
University of California, Los Angeles.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in geography, ecology, or earth system
science. Previous experience in satellite remote sensing of fires, fire
emissions, analyzing fire impacts on terrestrial ecosystems, or
biogeography or dynamic vegetation modeling is desirable. Salary is
commensurate with experience. Appointments will be for an initial period
of one year with the likelihood of extension for additional years.
Questions about the position and applications should be sent to Dr. Yufang
Jin (yufang@uci.edu), Dr. James Randerson (jranders@uci.edu), or Dr.
Michael Goulden (mgoulden@uci.edu). Formal applications should include a
cover letter describing your research experience and interests, a
curriculum vita, and the names of three references. Review of applications
will begin on August 1st, 2011, and will continue until the position is
filled.
The University of California, Irvine is an equal opportunity employer
committed to excellence through diversity.
