Job Description Summary:NSF NCAR's Climate and Global Dynamics (CGD) Laboratory is excited to announce the job opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow in their Oceanography Section. This position will investigate the usage of iron fertilization as a technique to achieve marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) from the atmosphere. The Postdoc Fellow will perform global numerical simulations of iron fertilization with version 2 of the Community Earth System Model (CESM2) in various configurations. They will conduct analyses on these simulations and lead peer-reviewed manuscripts documenting the results of the experiments. Analysis will be coordinated with colleagues at NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Output will be provided to colleagues to perform high resolution regional ocean simulations.

The position is expected to contribute to and benefit from collaborations within CGD's Oceanography Section and scientists across NCAR. More information about the Oceanography Section can be found online at https://www.cgd.ucar.edu/sections/oce. Position Details: Visa Sponsored Job:Yes
