The climate physics group in the Atmospheric Science and Global Change Division at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has several new opportunities available in climate research. PNNL is growing their research activities focused on 1) understanding the role of aerosols and clouds in polar climate; 2) possible implications of climate intervention (geoengineering) on the climate system; 3) assessments of how processes represented by detailed models (process models, high resolution cloud models, and regional models) can be used to improve global climate models; and 4) development and application of regional earth system models to understand interactions of human activities and climate change. Scientists in the Atmospheric Sciences & Global Change Division at PNNL are internationally recognized leaders in the following research areas:
- fundamental physics of aerosols and clouds, their interactions, and their representation in atmospheric models
- role of aerosols and clouds on climate
- modeling regional climate and the hydrological cycle.
Open positions range from post-doctoral fellows through beginning to mid-career level scientists and engineers. These positions can lead to high visibility and leadership in the research community through the division’s interactions with other leading climate science activities nationally and internationally.
