Postdoctoral Fellowship in regional climate change scenario planning for
resource management for individuals with a recent Ph.D. who is pursuing
interdisciplinary research in climate change in the North Central Region
Study Subject: Climate Change Scenario Planning
Employer: Colorado State University and the North Central University
Consortium
Position Description: We seek an individual with a recent Ph.D. received
since 2007 and who has experience in working in an interdisciplinary
team environment dealing with social-ecological systems. Candidates
whose research spans the physical sciences, natural resources, social
sciences and application to decision making of natural or/and cultural
resource management issues related to aspects of climate change are
preferred. The NC CSC is one of eight Department of Interior (DOI)
regional climate science center. Each center is a collaborative effort
between the federal government and consortium of select universities,
hosted and lead within the Natural Resource and Ecology Lab at Colorado
State University. The mission of the NC CSC is to contribute to the
National effort by providing the best available climate science and
synthesis to inform energy, land, and cultural resource management
within the North Central Domain. More information about the NC CSC, its
primary stakeholders, and the University Consortium can be found at
www.doi.gov/csc/northcentral.
The primary research objective for this position is to make climate
science more relevant to resource managers by integrating climate data
into results that can meaningful influence management actions through
scenario planning. Candidates whose research spans the physical
sciences, natural resources, social sciences with particular application
to rigorous science for natural or/and cultural resource management
issues related to aspects of climate change are preferred. Research
areas of interest include but are not limited to (1) integration of
climate data (historic, contemporary, and projections) with
ecological/biological response models and (2) quantifiable and rigorous
scenario development or simulation modeling to assist decision making
under multiple sources of uncertainty and respecting the variable and
non-stationary nature of past and projected climate. Special
consideration will be given to candidates who will collaborate with
faculty from NC-CSC Partner institutions (see list below). Information
on our NC-CSC Partners can be found at
<http://www.doi.gov/csc/northcentral/partners.cfm>. Applicants are

team environment dealing with social-ecological systems. Candidates
whose research spans the physical sciences, natural resources, social
sciences and application to decision making of natural or/and cultural
resource management issues related to aspects of climate change are
preferred. Research experience with natural resource issues in the
western US, climate change science, and social sciences is required.
Experiences in collaborating with resource managers or decision makers
or efforts in climate change assessments are desired. In addition,

framing on vulnerability assessments and adaptation strategies; US
National Climate Assessment efforts; concepts dealing with managing for
resilience; and experience with rural communities, including tribal
communities are desired. Skills in communication and publication of
reports and research publications are also valued. The position will
require coordination of research efforts for the NC CSC adaptation
efforts in the region in support of adaptive management practices in the
region.
Areas of interest include but are not limited to (1) fundamental
understanding of climate change projections and downscaling techniques;
(2) the impact and vulnerability assessment of climate change on
social-ecological systems, wildlife and conservation practices; (3)
decision making under uncertainty, adaptive management decision making,
natural resource management; (4) climate impacts on land, water, energy
resources; and (5) analysis of economic, sociological, ecological
implications of climate change. Special consideration will be given to
candidates who will collaborate with faculty from NC-CSC Partner
institutions. Information on our NC-CSC Partners can be found at

Applications are now invited for a postdoctoral position located on the
campus of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University in
Palisades, NY to examine associations between climate and severe
convection, including hail, lightning and tornadoes. This project
includes researchers from Columbia University (the International
Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) and LDEO's Ocean and
Climate Physics Division). Statistical methods, physical understanding
and data from models and observation will be used to investigate the
variability and predictability of severe convection phenomena.
Minimum Qualifications: Ph.D. in in atmospheric science, meteorology,
oceanography or related fields.
Preferred Qualifications: Experience in at least one and preferably more
of the following areas: mesoscale meteorological phenomena, regional
climate, severe weather, atmospheric convection. Experience with
statistical analysis of large data sets.

Three postdoctoral Positions are available as part of the MURI project
"Extended-Range Prediction with Low-Dimensional, Stochastic-Dynamic
Models: A Data-driven Approach" at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
of Columbia University in Palisades, NY. This project includes
researchers from Columbia University (the International Research
Institute for Climate and Society and the Lamont-Doherty Earth
Observatory's Division of Ocean and Climate Physics) and UCLA, and
addresses the use of reduced-order empirical models for the description,
understanding and prediction of atmospheric, oceanic and sea ice
variability on time scales of 1-12 months and beyond. Specific focus
areas include: ENSO, the MJO, tropical cyclones, extratropical
variability and storms, seasonal climate, weather extremes and sea ice.

The quality of Met Office products depends on the quality of the forecast models that
allow us to predict the weather and climate. The models need to accurately represent
key processes in the atmosphere like the formation of clouds or the effects of aerosol on
air quality. The models also need observations from a range of sources including
satellites. In this unique role you will work with a team of experts using the Facility for
Airborne Atmospheric Measurements (www.faam.ac.uk) aircraft to gather observations
of the atmosphere. Using state of the art instruments like Lidars, optical particle counters
and microwave radiometers you will gather these observations and conduct research in
to how the atmosphere works and use these observations to assess the performance of
the forecast models. Some of your research may involve working with prototype satellite
instruments, flying them on the research aircraft and conducting research in to how to
use these observations effectively in forecast models. Your expertise in instrumentation
and research will allow you to work with a team dedicated to improving the
understanding of the atmosphere and improving the representation of the atmosphere in
forecast models. You will fly on the research aircraft both in the
