Application Deadline: October 15, 2024
The Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University is inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher. The selected candidate will work with the Barnes, Keys, and Hurrell research teams to conduct independent and collaborative research related to the physical and societal impacts of various climate change and proposed climate intervention strategies by developing novel scenarios of the coupled human-Earth system. This individual will help define the research and development direction of the research team in climate futures of the next 30 years, as well as participate in opportunities to apply earth system expertise to research efforts in other disciplines across and beyond the CSU campus.
Roles/Responsibilities
- Serve as a prominent researcher within the Barnes, Keys, and Hurrell groups by conducting substantive scholarly research at the intersection of climate and societal change.
- Explore, develop and utilize novel scenario approaches with climate model output and observations to better understand and predict the changing Earth system.
- Develop solutions to complex problems, understand the results, and recommend research strategies.
- Solve research questions by incorporating relevant new ideas, techniques and developments
- Interact with members of the research group(s) and relevant collaborators by supporting their research.
- The postdoctoral scientist must have a record of conducting high-quality independent and collaborative research.
- Work with graduate students in a team setting. This will include mentoring, as appropriate, processing and analyzing observed and model generated climate data, and collaboratively working on scenario-based simulation of climate and societal change.
