Description
Assistant Project Scientist University of California Los Angeles Requisition Number: JPF10284 The UCLA Joint Institute for Regional Earth System Science and Engineering (JIFRESSE) invites applications for a position of Assistant Project Scientist whose research will focus on aerosol-radiation-cloud-precipitation interactions by integrating observational analyses focusing on satellite measurements and modeling studies with both statistical and physical models. The research includes the following activities: examine the specific and unique characteristics of the vertical distributions of various aerosol types in different regions and seasons, and investigate the relationships between vertical distributions of various aerosol types and convective clouds and associated precipitation; disentangle different aerosol effects (i.e., microphysical effect and radiative effect) as well as meteorological influence, and assess effects of aerosol vertical distributions on convective clouds and precipitation on the seasonal timescale; achieve a more systematic understanding of the aerosol effects on convective clouds and their associated lightning or precipitation production, as well as better prediction of the occurrence and characteristics of lightning; publish work in peer-reviewed journals and develop proposals for novel observational and modeling studies of aerosol-radiation-cloud-precipitation interactions.
