Opportunities

The Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Science (EOAS) at Florida State University seeks two highly motivated postdoctoral research associates to conduct research in the area of atmospheric convection and climate in the tropics. The successful applicants will contribute to PICCOLO, an NSF-funded project to investigate the nature, governing mechanisms, and impact of mesoscale organization of precipitation deep convective organization in the context of the Atlantic Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).  Field observations from the ORCESTRA campaign (https://orcestra-campaign.org/intro.html), in particular advanced polarimetric retrievals from the SEA-POL radar (https://seapol.colostate.edu/), and numerical simulations will be used as part of this project.

Position one is on convective organization, supervised by Prof. Allison Wing in EOAS at FSU (https://myweb.fsu.edu/awing/index.html). 

Position two is in moist thermodynamics, co-advised by Prof. Allison Wing in EOAS at FSU (https://myweb.fsu.edu/awing/index.html) and Prof. Morgan O'Neill in the Department of Physics at the University of Toronto (https://storms.physics.utoronto.ca).
