VACANCY: Post-doc at the National Center for Atmospheric Research

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral fellow at the National Center for Atmospheric.

This is a new, full-time, 2-year term position. The incumbent will perform in depth analyses of the climate model simulations from the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP, url: www.narcaap.ucar.edu <http://www.narcaap.ucar.edu>) with a focus on diagnosing errors in current climate runs and possible effects on model response to future forcing for various subregions of North America (e.g., Southwest USA). Creatively develop indices of model regional simulation ‘credibility.’ Participate in determination of how to weight different models regarding our ‘confidence’ in the model future responses for use in developing a Bayesian probabilistic model of regional climate change.

Application deadline is: November 14, 2008. Start date is negotiable, but as soon as possible.
