PostDoctoral Associate in Climate Physics
Location, Boulder, CO,
Deadline: 30 September 2025
The Department of Physics at CU Boulder seeks a Postdoctoral Researcher!
Key responsibility is Investigating the microphysical properties of clouds in connection to climate using satellite and ground-based remote sensing observations and a climate model.
Qualifications:
- Ph.D. in physics, atmospheric physics, or a closely related field
- Strong programming skills in Fortran, Python and/or Matlab
- Clear and concise verbal and written communication skills in English
- Knowledge of radiative transfer and satellite and ground-based remote sensing of clouds and precipitation
Member of the Scientific Steering Group for the Regional Information for Society (RIfS) Core Project
Location: N/A
Deadline: 15 September, 17:00 UTC
The Regional Information for Society (RIfS) is one of the Core Projects of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP). RIfS is a global community of experts who seek to understand, develop, and enhance the effective flow of relevant information among scientists, decision makers and society to develop policy-relevant climate research.
This is a limited call to fill one opening in RIfS’ Scientific Steering Group with term to commence at the start of 2026. RIfS is looking to reinforce the expertise of the SSG in particular areas. Applicants coming from from “Least Developed Countries”, “Landlocked Developing Countries”, and “Small Island Developing States” with expertise in modelling for seasonal-to-decadal prediction, oceans and coastal impacts, experts on climate information working in the humanitarian sector, and social-sciences relevant to RIfS’ work are particularly encouraged to respond.
Postdoc Position: Understanding low-cloud morphology feedback with energetic constraints
Location: Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique (LMD), Paris, France
Deadline: Open until filled
The French ANR MOBYDYC project aims to improve our physical understanding of low-cloudfeedback by building observable and energetically-constrained feedback mechanisms based on boundary-layer dynamics processes. To this end, it focuses on the spatial morphology of low clouds simulated by high-resolution models and observed by satellites, with an emphasis on stratocumulus. MOBYDYC is a project with two major objectives: to detect climate-change signals of low-cloud morphology changes, and to attribute them to changes in boundary-layer dynamics expected with global warming. A joint approach between analytical approaches, high-resolution simulations and observations is used.
The post-doc proposal addresses a part of the MOBYDYC project, namely the analysis of low-cloud morphological feedback constrained by energy conservation.This task can integrate different approaches and tools such as global climate models, global cloud-resolving models, large-eddy simulations, and observational data.
2 Ph.D. Projects within the TBM-CaN Research Group
Location: Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, B.C., Canada
Deadline: None specified
The Terrestrial Biosphere Modelling in CaNada (TBM-CaN) research group seeks interested Ph.D. students to apply for two Ph.D. projects, Projecting Carbon and Ecosystem Co-Benefits of Forest-Based Climate Solutions in Canada and Measuring Soil Greenhouse Gas Fluxes across Boreal and Arctic Disturbance Gradients.
The TBM-CaN research group applies an interdisciplinary approach – combining empirical ecology and field work with global modeling of the terrestrial biosphere and climate change – with the goal of improving climate change projections informing climate policy and decision-making from local to global scales. New members will join a dynamic research group with the opportunity to develop strong working relationships with academic and government scientists across Canada.
