Opportunities

Dear All,

The Atmospheric Sciences Department within the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa invites applications for (1) Graduate Student and (1) Postdoctoral Research Scientist to conduct research in the fields of atmospheric and climate data science. The successful candidates would join a project funded by NSF, whose broad goals are aimed at integrating climate and data science to improve situational awareness in Hawaiʻi through climate data products and models, and to integrate technology to deliver actionable science to stakeholders.

The successful candidates will work with Dr. Giuseppe Torri and myself. This exciting project will use numerical model simulations to improve understanding of the climate of the Hawaiian Islands and its coupling with the land surface. Research objectives include determining how variations in atmospheric and land surface conditions influence weather processes affecting clouds and rainfall in the Hawaiian Islands, and researching potential changes in cloud water interception and shifts in rainfall patterns across climate change projections.

Please see the attached pdf for additional information, including how to apply, and email me if you have any questions (anugent@hawaii.edu).
Thank you!
Alison
