The University of Melbourne invites applications from suitably qualified persons to fill a new position in cloud modeling. This Postdoctoral Fellowship is funded by the Australian Research Council to conduct cloud-scale modeling of tropical convection that was observed during the recent Tropical Warm Pool International Cloud Experiment (TWP-ICE). TWP-ICE was a large international field experiment conducted over northern Australia in January and February 2006.

The successful applicant will conduct cloud-resolving model experiments with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. Research topics may include cloud dynamics, cloud microphysics and aerosols, model validation, and forecasting.

Applications should be submitted online, (use keyword search for “cloud”). Include your CV, a document outlining your claims to the selection criteria, and the names of at least three academic referees. Applications close 22 January 2007.
