About this position
The University of Washington’s Department of Atmospheric and Climate Science is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to investigate Southern Ocean climate dynamics, with a focus on the recent decline in Antarctic sea ice and warming of the Southern Ocean.
The project will examine the drivers of recent changes, their seasonal-to-decadal predictability, likely future decadal evolution, and the global climate implications of a declining Antarctic sea-ice cover and a warming Southern Ocean. The research will combine new climate-model simulations using the NCAR CESM suite with analysis of observational and model data.
The postdoctoral scholar will be advised by Professors Edward Blanchard-Wrigglesworth and Cecilia Bitz and will work in collaboration with researchers at the University of Washington, international partners in New Zealand, and the Barcelona Supercomputing Center in Barcelona, Spain. The role offers a mentored research environment intended to strengthen professional skills, research independence, and participation in the wider university community.
The position is based at the University of Washington in Seattle, within a collaborative atmospheric and climate science research environment in the Pacific Northwest.
