Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is engaged in a research program to add cloud-aerosol interactions to a multiscale modeling framework in which a cloud resolving model is embedded within each grid cell of a global climate model.  The resulting multiscale aerosol climate model will be evaluated and then used to estimate the aerosol indirect effect on spatial scales from 4 km to global. PNNL is seeking an individual with a recent PhD in atmospheric science or related subjects; experience with developing, running, and/or validating cloud resolving, regional, or global cloud or aerosol models; strong communication skills; and a willingness to expand the scope of his or her research to work with a strong team addressing this grand challenge.

Candidates must have received a PhD in atmospheric science or related subjects within the past 5 years from an accredited college or university.  Fluency in FORTRAN is required.

Qualified candidates should contact Steve Ghan (steve.ghan@pnl.gov) with curriculum vitae and a statement of research interests.
