Princeton University invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate (or more senior researcher) to participate in developing a state-of-the-art representation of an ice sheet and its interaction with ocean and atmosphere, in conjunction with ongoing development of an Earth Systems Model at the NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL). The objective is a comprehensive description of the climate-ice sheet interaction in order to improve prediction of future sea levels. We aim to simulate recent, paleo-climatic, and future behavior of ice sheets. The position is jointly supported by Princeton's Department of Geosciences and Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, and the project is conducted in collaboration with GFDL.
The successful applicant must have a Ph.D. in atmospheric, oceanic or climate sciences, physics, glaciology, or a related field, and advanced programming skills (FORTRAN/MATLAB). Familiarity with any aspect of cryosphere research is a bonus but not mandatory.
Applicants should apply online at https://jobs.princeton.edu (Requisition # 0110217 ) and submit a CV and a cover letter describing their areas of expertise and interest, as well as names and contact information for three references. The review process will commence immediately and continue until the position is filled.
Princeton University is an equal opportunity employer and complies with applicable EEP and affirmative action regulations.
