Climate, Oceans, and Solid Earth Science
(Job 08114)

The successful candidate will join an active research group with interests in atmospheric modeling and remote sensing observations. Research duties include the evaluation and utilization of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) models to support the development of parameterizations for clouds, boundary layer and convection in climate models. Dr. Joao Teixeira in JPL's Climate, Oceans, and Solid Earth Science Section will serve as the JPL postdoctoral advisor to the selected candidate. The appointee will be guided by the JPL advisor to ensure that the research work will result in publications in the open literature.

Candidates with a Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences or in an appropriate field of ocean sciences, engineering, physical, or mathematical sciences are encouraged to apply. Candidates with interests in modeling of small-scale processes such as turbulence, clouds, or convection are particularly welcome. The appointment is contingent upon evidence of completion of a Ph.D.
