116861 Description The Westervelt group located at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory campus of Columbia University is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Scientist for aerosol-climate modeling research towards understanding the near-term climate and air quality impacts of rapidly evolving aerosol emissions in several developing world regions.  The candidate will work on analysis of the Regional Aerosol Model Intercomparison Project (RAMIP), which is an international collaboration of several climate modeling centers around the world.  Qualifications he successful candidate must have completed a PhD in atmospheric science, meteorology, climate science, physics, engineering, or an allied field by the start of the fellowship.  Appointments are made on a fiscal year basis and are eligible for renewal each July 1st, contingent upon performance and funding.  There is currently funding in place for 2 years.   The...

11652 Description The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist to conduct research in the fields of glaciology and climate data science. The successful candidate would join a project aimed at using machine learning and artificial intelligence to emulate ice flow physics in ice sheet models. The project team consists of Jonathan Kingslake (LDEO), David Porter (LDEO), Robin Bell (LDEO), and Laure Zanna (New York University). Our initial objectives include developing work flows to simulate ice flow over high-resolution basal topography with physics-based models and to emulate this process using machine learning algorithms. This project is funded by a new science and technology center based at Columbia University called Learning the Earth through Artificial intelligence and Physics (LEAP). LEAP brings together geoscientists and machine learning experts to...

116212 Description The Marine Geology and Geophysics division at Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University seeks applicants for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist position in Marine Geophysics. The successful candidate will be involved in an NSF collaborative project aimed at studying the rift dynamics during the formation of the Carolina Trough and Blake Plateau, offshore the southeastern United States (https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2112598&HistoricalAwards=false). The position responsibilities are to investigate the feedbacks between mechanical extension and magmatism during the early Jurassic opening of the western Central Atlantic Ocean using new active-source seismic data that will be collected aboard the R/V  M.   Langseth this Summer.  Qualifications The successful applicant will hold a Ph.D. in Geophysics or a related field, and have experience in the analysis and interpretation of...
