[Jpjobs] Postdoctoral opportunity: North American Paleohydroclimatology

[Julia Westwater]

>> Postdoctoral Scholar in North American Paleohydroclimatology
>> Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research
>> University of Arizona
>>
>> 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.
>>
>> 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 (http://www.u.arizona.edu/~kanchukaitis 
>> <http://www.u.arizona.edu/%7Ekanchukaitis>).
>>
>> 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.
>>
>> Please contact Kevin Anchukaitis (kanchukaitis at email.arizona.edu 
>> <mailto:kanchukaitis at email.arizona.edu>) with expressions of interest

>> underrepresented groups in the earth and environmental sciences are 
>> encouraged to apply. The Past Landscapes Lab supports Inclusive 
>> Excellence, the University of Arizona strategic initiative designed 
>> to engage every member of the university community in diversity and 
>> inclusiveness.
>>
>> Review of applications will begin on November 1st, 2018, and continue 
>> until the position is filled
