mathematics (STEM) disciplines (see www.ADVANCE.wsu.edu). The WSU
Pullman campus is located in Pullman, WA, which is about 75 miles south
of Spokane and is one of the largest residential universities in the West.
DEPARTMENT - The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is
one of five departments within the Voiland College of Engineering and
Architecture. The department has an active research program with
approximately $7 million in external annual funding. The department
maintains teaching loads in undergraduate and graduate instruction at
attractive levels in order to allow time for research development and
scholarly activities. Additional information about the department is
available at <http://www.ce.wsu.edu>. <http://www.ce.wsu.edu>.
The Laboratory for Atmospheric Research is an air quality and climate
change research group with a strong reputation for both measurement and
modeling studies of air quality, atmospheric chemistry, and climate
change (<http://www.lar.wsu.edu>). There are nine faculty members in
LAR, and the group collaborates with WSU faculty and outside scientists
across a broad range of topics. The LAR is a focal point for measurement
and modeling studies supported through the Northwest Air Quality
Environmental Science & Technology (NW-AIRQUEST) consortium, which
includes active participation by federal, state, and local air quality
agencies throughout the Northwest (<http://lar.wsu.edu/nw-airquest/>).
In this role, LAR is responsible for the daily operation, maintenance
and development of the AIRPACT regional air quality forecast system
(<http://lar.wsu.edu/airpact/>).

Postdoctoral Scholar opportunity. California Drought and Central Valley
Water Use.
Host: Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA
Deadline: Available immediately, applications will be received until
filled.
To apply or for more information: Julie Kalansky (<jkalansky@ucsd.edu>,
858-822-2147)
California experiences high variability in climate on short (e.g.
weeks to a few seasons) and longer (years to decades) time scales that
has great influence on its surface and ground water resources. In the
last two decades, California has experienced rather frequent dry
conditions, and from 2012-2015 it suffered one of the driest four year
spells in its instrumental history. Partly as a result of the impact of
this drought, the state of California has passed historic legislation,
the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), which aims at
managing groundwater for the first time in California. The drought along
with the recent legislation has accentuated the need for more timely
data on the state's water use. A large portion of the state's water use
is focused in the Central Valley. Claudia Faunt and colleagues from the
USGS/California Water Science Center, developed the Central Valley
Hydrological Model (CVHM). CVHM is an extensive, detailed
three-dimensional (3D) numerical model of the integrated hydrologic
system of the Central Valley
(<http://ca.water.usgs.gov/projects/central-valley/central-valley-hydrologic-model.html>).
The CVHM simultaneously accounts for changing water supply and demand
across the landscape, and simulates surface water and groundwater flow
across the entire Central Valley. Because pumping is generally not
metered, CVHM calculates groundwater pumping as the remaining irrigation
demand estimate after surface-water deliveries are taken into account.
These surface-water deliveries are central to calculating pumping in
CVHM, however, it often takes years to compile this delivery data. This
time lag makes it difficult to make look at management options in a
timely manner. The objective of this study will be to develop more
real-time monthly estimates of groundwater pumping. This study will
build on the CVHM and will be a collaborative effort between the USGS
and CNAP (cnap.ucsd.edu). In addition to working with the CVHM, the
post-doc will contribute to ongoing research to understand how climate
variability and climate change affect snowpack, runoff, soil moisture
and other water resource measures over the California region.
The postdoc will work with the CNAP team and USGS colleagues to obtain
and develop data that will be used to model and evaluate ground water
and surface water modeling in the Central Valley and greater California
region. The postdoc will apply knowledge relating to the regional
climate and its variability, the use and access of observations, the
status of monitoring, and hydrologic modeling of the ground water and
surface water systems. The postdoc will also organize data sets, and
determine statistical and/or categorizations necessary to update the
CVHM. The candidate must have a familiarity with climate variability and
the physical landscape and the conjunctive use of surface and groundwater.
The successful candidate will work closely with scientists working in
the region on both climatic and conjunctive water-use issues. The
position is partially supported by the National Integrated Drought
Information System (NIDIS).
Strong organizational and computational skills are required, as well as
the ability to run numerical simulations. In addition, the candidate
must have strong communications skills, including writing scientific
journal articles, reports, briefs for the public and legislators as well
as ability to communicate with a range of people from experts in the
field to people with little hydrological knowledge. Candidates must have
a completed doctoral degree in the field of climate, hydrology or
related physical science and have 0-2 years of postdoc experience.
Further information can be obtained from Dr. Julie Kalansky
(<jkalansky@ucsd.edu>, 858-822-2147). Applications must include a cover
letter, c.v., and three references. Please direct these to Dr. Kalansky
via email.

Postdoctoral Position in Atmospheric Circulation Change at UCLA
UCLA Dept. of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences seeks a postdoctoral scholar, supervised by Prof. Alex Hall. The position would begin in the fall of 2016. It would initially be for one year, but is renewable for up to two years, contingent on satisfactory progress.
The general research area is changes in the sub-tropical and mid-latitude atmospheric circulation associated with anthropogenic climate change. Any candidate with interest in this topic is invited to apply. Experience diagnosing mechanisms underpinning variability or anthropogenic changes in atmospheric circulation is critical. Experience analyzing output from global climate model simulations such as those in the CMIP5 archive is also desirable. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences or a related field, effective oral and written communication skills, and strong programming and analytical skills.
Applicants should submit (1) a statement of research interests and goals, no longer than one page, and (2) a complete CV, including contact information for three references. These materials should be addressed to Ms. Katharine Reich at kreich@ioes.ucla.edu. Consideration of applications will begin in August 2016 and continue until the position is filled. UCLA is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer. All qualified applicants, including women and minorities, are encouraged to apply. For more about Prof. Hall's research activities, visit www.atmos.ucla.edu/csrl<http://www.atmos.ucla.edu/csrl/>.
