CSA proposal funded

Our proposal to study atmospheric water vapor is funded by the Canadian Space Agency. In this project we will use satellite data to study the water budget in the climatically very important UTLS region. A new postdoc is WANTED for this research (see the ad below); prospective graduate students interested in the topic are equally welcome to join this research!


Postdoctoral Fellow Position in Satellite Data Analysis and Atmospheric Modeling

We seek a postdoctoral fellow to analyze satellite data and conduct numerical simulations for understanding atmospheric water vapor distribution and variation in the upper-troposphere and lower-stratosphere region.

Required qualifications include:

PhD in Atmospheric Sciences or a relevant physical science discipline (e.g., Meteorology, Physics, Computational Fluid Dynamics, etc.); and

Experience of scientific computing and capability of running high-resolution atmospheric dynamics models such as WRF and transport model such as HYSPLIT.

Desirable qualifications:

Experience of satellite data analysis; and

Knowledge of radiative transfer and cloud physics.

The initial appointment will be for one year, renewable contingent on satisfactory performance and funding availability. Interested candidates should contact Professor Yi Huang (yi.huang@mcgill.ca) by email, enclosing a curriculum vitae, transcripts of academic records, and names and contacts of at least two references.
