Position Summary:
This postdoctoral researcher position is for an individual with expertise in Earth? s clouds and convection and the implications of these processes for global climate change. We seek a highly motivated individual with expertise and interests in developing and modeling atmospheric hydrological processes to join Department of Energy projects on Multiscale Modeling and Eddy-Diffusivity / Mass-Flux (EDMF) parameterizations. The position offers an excellent environment for working with a highly skilled interdisciplinary team developing an adaptive global cloud-resolving model (AGCRM) including climate and computational scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The postdoc will also join the Climate Sciences Department at LBNL and will work directly with the Department Head and PI of the AGCRM project. The Department is active in advancing many facets of experimental and computational climate science.
The successful candidate will focus on representing the cloud, convective, and moist boundary-layer processes in the AGCRM and on projecting the implications of these processes for future climate change. The objective is to develop a modeling framework suitable for exploring the significance of these processes for cloud/climate feedbacks, climate extremes, and radiative-convective equilibrium in warmer climate. The model will combine a multiscale atmospheric dynamical core, explicit cloud macrophysics, and parameterized cloud microphysics and boundary-layer turbulence to attain this objective.
The work will require an applicant with a wide range of skills in: (1) development and application of high-resolution models of atmospheric phenomena; (2) intensive use of state-of-the-science models to investigate climate processes; (3) investigation of the connections between clouds, convection, and climate dynamics; (4) oral and written presentation of results; and (5) ability to work in an integrated team environment.
Specific Responsibilities:
? Contribute to the development of global multiscale cloud-system-resolving models.
? Use this model in idealized simulations to test paradigms for cloud/climate feedbacks.
? Apply this model to understand the evolution of the hydrological cycle in a warmer climate.
? Quantify the changing statistics of extreme storms and cyclones subject to climate change.
? Characterize the modeled versus measured multiscale properties of atmospheric phenomena.
? Author technical reports and peer-reviewed journal articles.
? Produce and deliver oral and written presentations of scientific results.
? Work effectively in a large and integrated team and contribute to an active intellectual environment.
Essential Qualifications:
? Ph.D. in atmospheric science, physics, applied mathematics, or a closely related field.
? Working knowledge of the cloud and convective processes in the Earth?s climate system.
? Experience in the development and testing of coupled climate models.
? Strong track record of software development in a fast-paced computational science team context
? Experience in analysis of the climate system using simulations, observations, and advanced analytical techniques.
? Strong written and oral communications skills.
? Strong mathematical skills.
? Demonstrated ability to initiate and conduct innovative and creative research.
? Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams.
Notes: Berkeley Lab understands the postdoctoral experience in a research environment is unique. We are committed to the growth and development of early career researchers in pursuit of becoming next generation scientists and engineers.
This is a 1 year term appointment with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds, and ongoing operational needs. Salary for postdoctoral positions depends on years of experience post-degree

CASCADE Statistics Postdoctoral Fellow - 80496
Organization: ES-Earth Sciences
Position Summary:
The CASCADE project at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to develop and apply statistical methods to the study of extreme weather events in a changing climate. The postdoc will work with statisticians at the University of California, Berkeley and climate scientists from LBNL as part of the interdisciplinary Calibrated and Systematic Characterization, Attribution, and Detection of Extremes (CASCADE) project.
We seek a statistician with expertise and interest in statistical methods relevant for climate/atmospheric/environmental science. The position offers an excellent environment for working with a highly skilled interdisciplinary team in the Climate Sciences Department and Computational Research Division at LBNL and the Statistics Department at UC Berkeley. The expertises of team members include Bayesian and spatial statistics, climate analysis, climate change detection and attribution, climate modeling and dynamical systems, and high-performance computing. The successful candidate will focus on analysis of a variety of types of extremes including droughts, downpours, heat waves, atmospheric rivers, tropical cyclones, and hurricanes. Understanding such events is an area of intensive current research in the climate science community and of interest to the public at large.
The goal of this position is to develop and use statistical methods to detect and characterize extremes with an emphasis on quantifying the changing risk of these phenomena from anthropogenic influences. The position entails using a combination of statistical methods such as spatial and spatio-temporal statistics, extreme value analysis, the bootstrap, and Bayesian methods to estimate the probabilities of climate events under different scenarios. A key focus will be to quantify the uncertainty in the probabilities in light of a wide variety of sources of uncertainty, including sampling uncertainty and model error. The researcher will evaluate, extend and implement existing methods and develop new statistical frameworks and methods. The researcher will work with climate scientists to apply the methods to cutting-edge datasets of observations and model output, including models and data products developed and run at LBNL.
Specific Responsibilities:
? Develop and apply statistical methods for detection and attribution of changes in extreme events.
? Quantify the uncertainty in model simulations due to sampling uncertainty, model formulation, and boundary conditions.
? Compare statistical analyses of observed extreme weather to climate simulations of the past and future to evaluate the fidelity of models.
? Produce and deliver oral and written presentations of scientific results.
? Work effectively in a large and integrated team.
Essential Qualifications:
? PhD in statistics or a related technical field to be completed as of the start date for this position.
? Experience with statistical methods and applications in climate/atmospheric/environmental science, in particular expertise in one or more of the following areas: spatial statistics, time series analysis, and/or Bayesian statistics
? Excellent written and oral communication skills.
? Ability to work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams.
? Interest in contributing to an active intellectual environment.
Additional desired qualifications:
? Experience in climate science, climate modeling, and dynamical systems.
? Experience with large datasets and efficient computation, including parallel processing.
? Experience with multiple testing, the bootstrap, extreme value analysis, experimental design.
? Experience with R or Python
