The ability to strategically predict precipitation variability over the western United States would have enormous societal implications. Strategic predictions rely, in turn, on the existence of sources of predictability at the timescales of interest. The University of Colorado’s Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) and the Physical Sciences Laboratory (PSL) at the NOAA Earth System Research Lab in scenic Boulder, Colorado, seek an enthusiastic and capable Post-Doctoral Associate to help us identify sources of predictability at lead times of 1-3 years that arise from remote oceanic influences. Potential mechanisms may include teleconnections from the tropical Pacific associated with El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), impacts on storm tracks from variability in the Kuroshio-Oyashio Extension region in the western North Pacific, or other oceanic influences. The chosen candidate will explore sources of predictability for western North American hydroclimate by conducting in-depth, process oriented diagnostics on observational datasets and available dynamical model simulations.
The candidate is expected to have excellent technical and communication skills and be comfortable working in a team environment. This is a two-year position with the possibility of extension to a third year based on performance, achievement of project goals and the availability of funding. The position is located in Boulder, Colorado.
CIRES is an internationally recognized leader in innovative environmental science and research and is located at the University of Colorado Boulder. At CIRES, more than 950 environmental science professionals work to understand the dynamic Earth system, including people’s relationship with the planet. CIRES has partnered with NOAA since 1967, and our areas of expertise include weather and climate, changes at Earth’s poles, air quality and atmospheric chemistry, water resources, solid Earth sciences, and more. Our vision is to be instrumental in ensuring a sustainable future environment by advancing scientific and societal understanding of the Earth system.
At the NOAA-Physical Sciences Laboratory, our mission is to conduct scientific research to observe, understand, model, predict and forecast weather, water and climate extremes and their impacts. Our vision is an informed society that uses science-based environmental intelligence to effectively anticipate and respond to threats and opportunities related to weather, water, and climate extremes. Our research goals are as follows:
