Job Description
The Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR) seeks applications for a fulltime Assistant Research Scientist in Atmospheric Science. In collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) and the School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS) the successful candidate will lead CIGLRs portfolio of research in atmospheric science in the Great Lakes region.
The successful candidate will lead research that requires integral approaches to water cycle predictions ecosystem management and climate research to support decision making in mitigation and adaptation strategies in the Great Lakes region. The candidate is expected to collaborate with diverse experts in the Great Lakes science community to advance model coupling with lake dynamics understanding and modeling of boundarylayer processes (e.g. evapotranspiration wind wave formation) and atmospheric microphysical processes (e.g. aerosol formation snow characteristics). We are particularly interested in candidates who can lead research on predictions and projections for precipitation runoff water quality ice cover hazardous weather events such as lakeeffect snowstorms as well as advancing understanding of historical and future changes in the Great Lakes regional climate.
The successful candidate will be appointed with CIGLR which is part of the University of Michigans School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS) located in Ann Arbor Michigan. CIGLR is a partnership between the University of Michigan and NOAA that brings together experts from academia and government research labs to work on pressing Great Lakes environmental challenges. The successful candidate will spend the majority of their time at the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) in Ann Arbor and will collaborate closely with colleagues at CIGLR GLERL and SEAS and other Great Lakes partners. CIGLR Research Scientists serve as principal investigators and work closely with GLERL investigators to develop new NOAAsupported research projects oversee of ongoing projects at the Institute and secure project funding from other external sponsors. Hybrid and flexible work agreements may be made to allow for partial offsite work at a remote location. SEAS and CIGLR are committed to creating and maintaining an inclusive and equitable environment that respects diverse experiences promotes generous listening and communications and discourages and restoratively responds to acts of discrimination harassment or injustice. Our commitment to diversity equity and inclusion is deeply rooted in our values for a sustainable and just society.
Candidates must have a PhD and postdoctoral training in atmospheric science climate science or related fields. Candidates should also have the following:
- experience using state of the art atmospheric models (WRF FV3 RegCM or similar) analyzing atmospheric model outputs and conducting skill assessment.
- experience with analyses to understand atmospheric processes within a regional domain. This includes but is not limited to microphysical processes boundarylayer processes and climate change impacts on storm tracks ice cover and precipitation.
- experience with high performance computing systems (e.g. shell scripting programming) and proficiency in FORTRAN Python R or similar programming language.
- ability to effectively collaborate with diverse experts across UM and externally with federal partners.
- ability to effectively communicate supervise and mentor employees and students and provide scientific leadership of an interdisciplinary team.
- a strong record of publication (including first author publications)
