Great job opportunity for a Bay Area Climate Scientist

Senior Climate Scientist

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory - Berkeley, CA (San Francisco Bay Area) 

Job Description

We seek a leader to make fundamental advances in understanding the current and future evolution of Earth's climate. We particularly seek a scientist whose work addresses grand challenges in multi-scale modeling of the Earth system; interactions of hydrological and biogeochemical processes; and/or the role of cloud processes in climate forcing, feedback, and response.
The successful applicant will develop a research program integrating the considerable resources available at Berkeley Lab, the UC Berkeley campus, and the National Energy Research Supercomputing Center. This individual will be a key member of the growing Climate Science Department in the Earth Sciences Division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and will develop and lead projects in a team environment combining Lab and University collaborators. 
The successful applicant will complement and extend the Climate Science Department and related programs beyond their current areas of strength, which include global climate simulations, computational climate science, cloud-resolving modeling, radiative forcing of climate, cloud-aerosol interactions, and measurement and modeling of the carbon cycle and terrestrial ecosystems. 
We will pursue a non-ladder rank appointment at the University of California, Berkeley for the successful candidate.

Desired Skills & Experience

• A PhD degree in the Earth sciences, physics, applied mathematics or a related technical field.
