Estimated Start Date of position: As soon as possiblePosition Title: Postdoctoral ResearcherLocation: University of Arizona, SONG BIO-ESM Lab, Departments of Hydrology and Atmospheric SciencesJob description: The SONG BIO-ESM Lab at the University of Arizona invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position focused on enhancing and assessing the DOE E3SM model's capability to simulate soil carbon-climate feedback. This role offers the opportunity to collaborate with multiple DOE national labs and work on cutting-edge research with the potential to impact global climate models and environmental policy.· Analyze and integrate multiscale datasets for E3SM parameterization and evaluation.· Apply artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for E3SM parameter optimization.· Develop and implement a hybrid model (AI-ESM) framework to quantify and reduce uncertainties in simulating soil carbon-climate feedback.· Execute coupled E3SM simulations to evaluate soil carbon-climate feedback mechanisms.Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:- Global Carbon Cycle and Land-Climate Feedback: Strong understanding of the global carbon cycle and the interactions between land and climate systems.
- Computational Skills: Proficiency in computational programming (e.g., Fortran, python) in HPC environments, with experience in data-model integration and land surface model/Earth system models (ESM) improvement and application.
- Artificial Intelligence Expertise: Strong proficiency in AI technology. Applicants with experience in application AI methods for ESM optimization and uncertainty analysis are strongly preferred.
- Communication: Demonstrated ability to communicate scientific findings effectively through publications and presentations.
- Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team environment.
- Soil Science and Microbiology: basic knowledge of soil microorganisms, bioinformatics, or soil sciences is considered a plus, but not necessarily required.
- PhD Required: A PhD in Atmospheric Sciences, Hydrology, Earth System Science, Computer Science, Data Science, or a closely related field.
- Research Experience: Proven experience in improving or applying any Earth System Models (ESMs) or related computational models, particularly in the context of carbon cycle modeling or climate feedback mechanisms. Candidates with a strong focus on AI applications in these areas will be given priority.
- Interdisciplinary Expertise: Experience in conducting interdisciplinary research projects, with the ability to bridge gaps between different scientific disciplines.
- Publication Record: A strong track record of peer-reviewed publications relevant to the job responsibilities.
Special Instructions to Applicant: NoneDocuments needed to apply:If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Song (chopinsong@arizona.edu) with your CV and a cover letter. The position will be closed until the satisfied applicants are found. You also need to submit your application to the UA hiring system: Home | UA Talent (arizona.edu)Appointment terms: This position's initial contract will be one year, with an expectation of renewal based on the candidate’s performance. The position offers a competitive salary and UA-standard benefits for postdoc scholars.The SONG BIO-ESM Lab specializes in Biospheric-Earth System Modeling. We aim to advance our understanding and predictive power of the role of vegetation, microbial communities, and humans -the biotic components of the Earth system - in terrestrial-atmospheric interactions. To achieve this goal, we develop and employ a variety of state-of-the-art tools to address pressing issues of the world.Please see our lab website for more details: https://sites.arizona.edu/song-bio-esm-labAt the University of Arizona, we value our inclusive climate because we know that diversity in experiences and perspectives is vital to advancing innovation, critical thinking, solving complex problems, and creating an inclusive academic community. As a Hispanic-serving institution, we translate these values into action by seeking individuals who have experience and expertise working with diverse students, colleagues, and constituencies. Because we seek a workforce with a wide range of perspectives and experiences, we provide equal employment opportunities to applicants and employees without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or genetic information. As an Employer of National Service, we also welcome alumni of AmeriCorps, Peace Corps, and other national service programs and others who will help us advance our Inclusive Excellence initiative aimed at creating a university that values student, staff and faculty engagement in addressing issues of diversity and inclusiveness.![]()
