Dear Colleagues,

The Paleo R&D Lab (Paleoclimate Reconstructions and Dynamics) at the Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic & Earth Sciences, George Mason University (GMU), invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in paleoclimate modeling and analysis.

About the Position
This NSF-funded project will explore the impact of different boundary conditions on hydroclimate changes across the tropics since the Last Glacial Maximum. The research approach involves integrating isotope-enabled climate modes, paleoclimate data compilation and synthesis, and proxy system models. The successful candidate will be based at GMU and will collaborate closely with researchers from Brown University, NCAR, and the Ohio State University. The position is supported for two years, contingent on satisfactory progress during the first year.

Qualifications:
- Ph.D. in climate dynamics, atmospheric sciences, Earth sciences, geography, or a closely related field.
- Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Matlab, NCL, or R.
- Experience in analyzing output from climate models.
- Previous experience with running CESM is highly desirable.
- Strong oral and written communication skills are highly desirable.

For full consideration, please apply through this link by April 1, 2024. The position will remain open until filled. The ideal start date is no later than August 1, 2024. For inquiries and more information, please contact Dr. Xiaojing Du (xdu5@gmu.edu)
