A postdoctoral research position in tropical cyclone dynamics is
available at NorthWest Research Associates (NWRA) in Boulder, CO.
Research activities will focus on understanding changes of vortex
structure and intensity that occur spontaneously or in response
to environmental variation. The methods of investigation will
include state-of-the-art tropical cyclone modeling and/or
theoretical studies.
The position is for up to two years, with the second year of support
contingent on satisfactory performance and the availability of funds.
The candidate should have a recent Ph.D. in atmospheric science or
a related discipline. Moreover, the candidate should have a solid
understanding of geophysical fluid dynamics, atmospheric convection,
and tropical cyclone theory. Some experience simulating hurricanes
would be ideal.
The Boulder office of NWRA (also known as CoRA) is conveniently located
next door to the Foothills Campus of the National Center for Atmospheric
Research. Those interested in the position should apply online at
www.nwra.com/jobs. The application should include a letter of interest,
a curriculum vitae with a list of relevant publications, and contact
information for 2-3 references. The position is open immediately, and
will remain open until filled. Students who will soon receive their
Ph.D. are eligible to apply.
