UPDATE: Princeton University is currently seeking postdocs or project scientists for the Climate Process Team (CPT). Successful candidates will work on this multi-institutional CPT on parameterization development and implementation. This is a three-year project, with possible extension up to five years, funded by National Science Foundation and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration at Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory at Princeton. Applicants with a background in general circulation modeling and parameterization development will be preferred. Please send your curriculum vitae, three suggested references for letters of recommendation, and statement of interest to Leo Donner (leo.j.donner@noaa.gov) by July 24, 2010.

Applications are being solicited by several institutions, for numerous positions on a Climate Process Team. Openings include a project scientist and postdoctoral and PhD student positions. Postdoctoral and/or project scientist positions will be available in parameterization development (Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, National Center for Atmospheric Research), large-eddy simulation (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/Earth System Research Laboratory), aircraft and satellite observations (University of Washington), and satellite observations (Jet Propulsion Laboratory). Graduate research assistantships will be available in cloud parameterization (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee).

These positions are part of a collaborative, 3-year project funded by the National Science Foundation and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, with a potential 5-year extension. Important development and evaluation roles in the project will be played by large-eddy simulation, aircraft observations, and satellite analyses.

Applicants will help to implement and develop a new approach to modeling clouds, boundary layers, and cloud-aerosol interactions in atmospheric general circulation models. Successful applicants will join a multi-institutional team led by Leo Donner, Chris Golaz, and Yi Ming (Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, Princeton, NJ); Andrew Gettelman and Hugh Morrison (National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, CO); Graham Feingold (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/Earth System Research Laboratory, Boulder, CO); Rob Wood (University of Washington, Seattle, WA); Graeme Stephens (Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA); and Vincent Larson (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Milwaukee, WI).

Please send a statement of interest, institutional preferences, Curriculum Vitae, and contact information for three references, to Vincent Larson (vlarson@uwm.edu). Once funding has been finalized, specific institutional application instructions will be provided.
