Description The Center for Climate Systems Research at Columbia University (https://ccsr.columbia.edu/) invites applicants for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist position in cloud physics, global atmospheric modeling, and satellite observations at its Morningside campus in New York City. Appointment is full-time and made annually and is contingent upon funding and performance.   Of all climate feedbacks on decadal to centennial scales, the most uncertain are those associated with changes in clouds, in both the current and previous Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) generations. Such diverse behavior limits confidence in projections of future climate. The project’s research goals are to characterize the response of different cloud types to climate variations (cloud feedbacks) using active-sensor CALIPSO-CloudSat observations in conjunction with other A-Train observations, and to develop constraints for climate sensitivity and climate model...
