 <td align="left">Post Doctorate RA - Cloud Statistics Organization and Job ID Job ID: 301741 Directorate: Fundamental & Computational Sciences Division: Climate Physics Group: Climate Physics Educ Devl . Job Description We seek a postdoctoral scientist who will analyze and interpret cloud remote sensing and radiation measurements, using statistical methods for comparing measurements and/or model simulations. The goal of this study is to create novel datasets needed to evaluate and improve how clouds are represented in models at various spatial scales. . Minimum Requirements Candidates must have received a PhD within the past five years from an accredited college or university. All staff at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory must be able to demonstrate the legal right to work in the United States. . Qualifications PhD in Atmospheric Sciences We are looking for highly motivated individuals who can demonstrate the ability to develop hypotheses, test those hypotheses, write and take the lead in publishing papers, and work in a collaborative environment. The primary goal of the planned research is to develop an improved understanding of processes that affect clouds, aerosols, and their interactions over local to global spatial scales and to better represent these processes in the next generation climate models. The researchers will join a team of scientists performing research on 1) linking land-surface, boundary layer, aerosol, and shallow clouds, 2) environmental conditions, wind shear, and aerosol effects on the lifecycle of deep convection, 3) aerosol aging and its impact on optical and cloud-nucleating properties, 4) cloud processing and wet removal of aerosols, and 5) tropical cloud processes. Our team uses data from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program, along with the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) and the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) models to study these processes over a range of spatial scales. Experience with running the CAM or WRF models and/or using DOE Atmospheric Radiation and Measurement (ARM) program data is desirable, but not required. The selected candidate will work closely with climate scientists at PNNL, other DOE National Laboratories, and universities as part of DOEs Atmospheric System Research (ASR) program. .
