The ARM Climate Research Facility (ARM) group at Argonne National Laboratory seeks an atmospheric remote sensing engineer—a radar data products expert—with proven experience in atmospheric radar systems. This position involves (1) developing algorithms to improve climate model representations of clouds and their microphysical properties; (2) formulating innovative approaches for using radar instrumentation and data collected by the ARM Climate Research Facility fixed sites, aircraft, and mobile facilities; and (3) participating in field campaigns. position.

The ideal candidate will have experience with data products developed from a wide range of cloud and precipitation radars used by ARM. Current ARM radar capabilities include vertically pointing millimeter cloud radars and a scanning W-band radar. The selected candidate will also implement data products associated with new radar capabilities, such as multiple-Doppler 3D cloud, precipitation, and wind field analysis, and multiwavelength data retrieval algorithms for cloud particle size, shape, phase, and motion.

Candidates should have a strong background in dual-polarized cloud and precipitation radars and their data retrievals and data products aimed at improving and validating climate models. Considerable knowledge of atmospheric sciences is essential for conducting independent research in cloud processes related to climate change. Candidates should also have experience with analysis of field campaign data sets.

For full consideration, candidates must send a curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, and list of publications to the Argonne job website, Requisition #314629. The position requires a PhD in physics or atmospheric sciences and at least 6-10 years experience.
