27139 Location: Boulder, Colorado Employment Type: Research Faculty Schedule: Full-Time Date Posted: 30-Sep-2020 Close All Job Summary Job Summary The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at CU Boulder encourages applications for a Research Scientist within the Chemical Sciences Laboratory (CSL) of NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratories (ESRL) in Boulder, Colorado! The researcher will work alongside federal and university employees to characterize the relationship of large-scale atmospheric dynamics and teleconnections to surface climate and chemical transport. The researcher will analyze stratospheric dynamics, chemistry, and transport in different climate change and intervention model simulations. The researcher will be involved in developing model diagnostics to evaluate the role of stratosphere-troposphere coupling in NOAA’s Unified Forecast System. We seek an individual with proven expertise in large-scale atmospheric dynamics on sub-seasonal to decadal timescales. It is also desired that the applicant has a record of publications in the peer-reviewed literature and experience communicating his/her research at scientific meetings. A Ph.D. in the field of atmospheric science, environmental science, or the equivalent is required as is experience with analysis of global climate model output. The University of Colorado Boulder is committed to building a culturally diverse community of faculty, staff, and students dedicated to contributing to an inclusive campus environment. We are an Equal Opportunity employer, including veterans and individuals with disabilities. Who We Are Who We Are At CIRES, more than 800 environmental scientists work to understand the dynamic Earth system, including people’s relationship with the planet. CIRES is a partnership of NOAA and CU Boulder, and our areas of expertise include weather and climate, changes at the Earth’s poles, air quality and atmospheric chemistry, water resources, and solid Earth sciences. Our vision is to be instrumental in ensuring a sustainable future environment by advancing scientific and societal understanding of the Earth system. https://cires.colorado.edu/ In the Chemical Sciences Laboratory (CSL) of the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratories, researchers build instruments to make detailed measurements, conduct laboratory experiments, design and execute field missions, analyze observations, and use sophisticated computer models to better understand how our changing atmosphere is influencing climate – and therefore people. CSL website: https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/csl/ What Your Key Responsibilities Will Be What Your Key Responsibilities Will Be Analyze tracer transport in climate model simulations to understand how large-scale atmospheric processes and teleconnections influence stratosphere-to-troposphere transport of chemical constituents. Analyze dynamics and stratospheric chemistry in climate intervention simulations. Develop and/or test diagnostics for assessing stratosphere-troposphere coupling in sub-seasonal to seasonal forecast models. Summarize results in scientific manuscripts and conference presentations. What You Should Know What You Should Know This position will be rostered in CIRES at CU Boulder but will be physically situated in the David Skaggs Research Center, 325 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80305.
