The University of Michigan is currently seeking highly motivated individuals for a postdoctoral research position with the Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences. Housed on the North Campus of the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor, the department has excellent facilities, including computer networks, engineering and technical support, research equipment and laboratory space.

The position involves using a cloud-resolving model to examine the response of clouds to increases in aerosol concentrations and using data gathered by the ARM Program to validate the model. The candidate will be expected to interpret satellite and global model data to determine the conditions that will be important for a global assessment of the effects of aerosols on clouds and to carry out this assessment using a cloud-resolving model. Familiarity with cloud-resolving models and atmospheric radiation transport are required. The successful candidate will join a team in the process of adding the capability to treat aerosol-cloud interactions in the NCAR climate model and help in evaluation of that model.

Interested applicants should send a resume and the names of three references to
