Emprego

Funding is available for one graduate student at the Columbia University Department of Earth and Environmental Engineering, beginning September 2009.  The student will study the local-regional scale consequences of snow depth variability on the overlying climate, using a one-dimensional snowpack model and a regional climate model.  Experiments will be designed and conducted to evaluate the thermodynamic and near-surface dynamic processes associated with anomalous snow depth, including feedbacks involving snowpack density, thermal content and albedo.  Candidates should have a strong background in math, geophysics, hydrology or engineering, as well as proficiency with data analysis and programming.  Funding is provided by the National Science Foundation as a graduate research assistantship covering full tuition, benefits and 12 months per year of salary support.  PhD and MS/PhD applicants are preferred, but exceptional MS only applicants will also be considered.
