*The California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Postdoctoral
Scholars Program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) invites
applications for a postdoctoral research position in JPL's Microwave
Atmospheric Science group. *
The research objective is to investigate the "cause-effect" linkage among aerosol, clouds and precipitation using the latest Weather Research & Forecasting (WRF) model. The successful candidate will perform WRF modeling on aero-sol-cloud-precipitation interactions, in close connection with the ongoing A-train satellite data analysis. The satellite observations will be used to evaluate model outputs, and modeling results will help to understand the physical mechanisms that contribute to the observed aerosol-clouds-precipitation relationships. Drs Hui Su and Jonathan H. Jiang, in JPL's Earth Atmospheric Science Section will serve as JPL postdoctoral advisors to the selected candidate. The appointee will be guided by the JPL advisors to ensure that the research work will result in publications in the open literature.
Candidates should have a recent PhD in Atmospheric Science with a strong background in aerosol and cloud studies. Experience in aerosol-cloud modeling is highly desirable. The appointment is contingent upon evidence of completion of a PhD. The annual starting salary for recent PhD is US$52,000 and can vary somewhat according to the applicant's qualifications. Postdoctoral scholar's positions are awarded for a one-year period. Appointments may be renewed in one-year increments for a maximum addition of two years.
Please send a letter describing your research interests, a curriculum vitae, and a list of three references (with telephone numbers, postal and email address) to:
*Hui Su*
Jet Propulsion Laboratory M/S 183-701
4800 Oak Grove Drive, Pasadena, CA 91109,
U.S.A
