Postdoctoral Scholar in North American
Paleohydroclimatology<br class="">
Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research<br class="">
University of Arizona<br class="">
<br class="">
We have a new position for a Postdoctoral
Research Scientist in the area of Common Era
paleohydroclimatology. The postdoctoral
researcher will work on an NSF-funded project
integrating high-resolution paleoclimate data
with climate model simulations of past mountain
snowpack variability and related climate fields
in North America. Possible projects could
include but are not limited to: climate field
reconstructions; proxy-model integration and
comparison; paleoclimate modeling; data
assimilation.
<br class="">
<br class="">
We seek a dynamic early career scientist with
background and experience in one or more of the
following areas: Holocene paleoclimatology,
dendroclimatology, dendrohydrology, climate
modeling, climate dynamics, applied mathematics
or statistics, paleoclimate data assimilation.
Potential starting dates are between January
2019 and July 2019, and candidates should have
their Ph.D. in a relevant discipline by the
start of the position. Programming experience
(Python, MATLAB, R, or similar) is required.
Prior experience using large spatiotemporal
datasets — including those from climate model
simulations — is recommended. Some prior
experience developing new proxy data is
desirable but is not required. The postdoctoral
scientist is expected to be an active and
engaged member of the Past Landscapes Lab (<a

class="">
<br class="">
The postdoctoral research scientist will be
based at the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research at
the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona and
will be supervised by Dr. Kevin Anchukaitis
(University of Arizona) and Dr. Bethany
Coulthard (University of Nevada Las Vegas). The
postdoctoral research scientist will join a
strong and diverse cross-campus research
community with interests in climate,
paleoclimate, and global environmental change.
The initial appointment will be for up to 24
months, with the possibility of further
continuation contingent on performance and
funding availability. <br class="">
