Research positions available
*Center for Prototype Climate Modeling/NYU Abu Dhabi Institute*
Andrew Majda (PI), Olivier Pauluis (co-PI), Shafer Smith (co-PI)
NYU Abu Dhabi, through its NYU Abu Dhabi Institute, seeks to be a
world-class center of cutting-edge research, scholarship, and cultural
activity. The Institute offers outstanding facilities; research funding
at a significant level and with exceptional continuity of support; and a
vigorous, cohesive, and interactive intellectual environment. The NYUAD
Institute has recently awarded a research grant to the PI and co-PIs to
create the Center for Prototype Climate Modeling, investing a total of
$12 million in the project over a five-year period, renewable for a
second five-year period. The Center will develop new, innovative
approaches in climate forecasting, especially as they relate to the
tropics and subtropics, to improve the accuracy of algorithms used for
climate change predictions. The core activities of the center will focus
on two related themes: (I) The development of new methods, including
diagnostics, data assimilation, parametrization, and prediction; and
(II) the application of these methods to critical problems in the
dynamics of the tropical and subtropical atmosphere and ocean.
Positions are available for up to 2 senior research scientists and 3
postdoctoral researchers. While talent and an exceptional research
record in all related fields are paramount, we especially encourage
applications from researchers with expertise in air-sea interaction,
large-scale climate modeling and diagnosis, especially as it applies to
the tropics and subtropics, and development of new approaches to
parametrization in both atmospheric and oceanic circulation models. All
positions will be based in Abu Dhabi, but researchers may spend up to 2
months per year at the Courant Institute in New York City. NYU Abu
Dhabi offers very substantial benefits, including allowances for
housing, transportation, and home visits, in addition to health
insurance and an attractive retirement plan.
*Senior scientists* will collaborate directly with the PI and co-PIs,
develop their own research agenda in accordance with the overall goals
of the center, help supervise the postdoctoral associates, and develop a
long-term relationship with climate research centers worldwide.
Appointments will be made for a five-year term, contingent upon positive
annual reviews. The annual salary is in the range $110K-$140K, depending
on qualifications.
*Postdoctoral research fellows* will work closely with the PI, co-PIs
and senior scientists. Appointments are offered for two-year periods,
contingent upon positive annual reviews; extensions up to five years may
be possible in exceptional cases. The annual salary is in the range
$65K-$80K, depending on qualifications.
Applicants should send a CV and the names of three professional
references via email or regular mail to Daisy Mojar-Calderon
(mojar@cims.nyu.edu), Courant Institute, New York University, New York,
NY 10012, USA. Applicants for the senior scientist positions should also
include a one-page research statement, describing the applicant's
scientific goals, and how they relate to the goals of the Center. Review
of applications will continue until suitable candidates are hired.

or more of the following skills will be considered as an added
advantage: skill with shell programming (e.g bash, c-shell), skill
with scripting languages such as Perl, Python and PHP, working
knowledge in visualization packages such as NCL, IDL, GrADS and the
ability to write MATLAB codes to process and
visualize data.
Working
in a dynamic environment, the Support Scientists will perform a wide
variety of tasks, including but not limited to scientific
programming, coupling of model components, processing and analysis of
observational data and climate model output. In general, we seek
flexible and proactive team players who enjoy learning about and
solving new scientific and computational problems.
To
apply, please email a single PDF file containing a cover letter, a
CV, a one-page summary of relevant projects you have worked on, and
contact information of at least two references to Asma Kamal
<ak182@nyu.edu>
with Support Scientist in the
subject line. Mentioning your skype ID?under contact information
