Subject: [Wrf-news] Announcement for post-doc position at NYU



A three year postdoctoral fellowship in Antarctic and Southern
Ocean regional climate modeling is available from the Center for Atmosphere
Ocean Science (CAOS), situated within the Courant Institute of Mathematical
Sciences at New York University (NYU).  The goal of the project is to
understand mechanisms of interactive coupling between the atmosphere, ocean,
and sea ice on the mesoscale, and how these mechanism respond to, and
potential feedback upon, large scale climate forcings. The project is
supported under the "Decadal and Regional Climate Prediction using Earth System
Models (EaSM)" initiative within NSF.

A primary duty of the fellow will be to couple regional component models of the
atmosphere (WRF, http://www.wrf-model.org/), ocean (ROMS,
http://www.myroms.org/), and sea ice (CICE,
http://oceans11.lanl.gov/trac/CICE). The research will involve applying
reanalyses and large-scale climate model output to the regional model. A PhD in
the atmospheric, oceanic, or related sciences is required. Experience in
coupled climate modeling, or in the regional modeling of either the atmosphere,
ocean, or sea ice is also necessary. Familiarity with high-performance
computing is also desirable. The position is available as part of a recently
funded NSF collaborative effort between NYU and Ohio State University (OSU) and
Old Dominion University (ODU). The fellow would be situated at NYU but visit
and collaborate with researchers at OSU and ODU.  A competitive salary is
offered. The tentative start date is July 1, 2011, but is flexible.  For
further information please contact David Holland (Hol...@cims.nyu.edu) or Ed
Gerber (ger...@cims.nyu.edu).
