About this position

Hampton University’s Center for Atmospheric Sciences is recruiting a postdoctoral research associate / research associate in geophysical fluid dynamics and extreme weather predictability.

The successful candidate will work with the HU Severe Weather Research Center (SWRC) on research that combines large eddy simulations, remote sensing data, data assimilation, and/or artificial intelligence methods to study turbulence-scale predictability in extreme weather systems. The role also includes assisting in the simulation and design of new airborne remote sensing instruments and real-time algorithms for atmospheric information delivery.

This is a two-year position with a competitive salary and a full benefits package, subject to annual review. The ad notes that career growth into longer-term positions may be possible.

Eligibility highlights: Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science, Applied Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field; strong publication record; experience with LES, data assimilation, and/or AI preferred; proficiency in Fortran plus Python or Matlab and Unix; strong communication skills.

How to apply: Send a cover letter and CV to Dr. Stephen Guimond at [email protected]. The post encourages interested candidates to contact him before submitting a full application. International applications are welcome, but candidates from designated countries such as Iran will not be accepted.

Deadline: 2026-12-01.
