Brookhaven National Laboratory is seeking a postdoctoral research associate to work on a project that investigates (1) the role of entropy in shaping earth’s climate and climate change, and (2) macroscopic principles such as the maximum entropy production principle that govern the weather/climate systems. This position requires a Ph.D. in atmospheric science or related field and experience in climate models, especially energy balance models. Familiarity with radiation transfer, satellite data, and cloud physics is highly desirable as well as the ability to run/analyze climate models of different levels of complexities and compare simulation results with observations (e.g., satellite data).

For more information on this position, please contact Dr. Yangang Liu at lyg@bnl.gov.
