Postdoctoral Appointee – Climate Scientist

27 November 2022 - 4 December 2022

Sandia is seeking a highly motivated and hardworking Postdoctoral Appointee with expertise and interest in large-scale atmospheric dynamics and variability to improve attribution of downstream climate impacts from localized sources such as volcanoes or large wildfires. As a climate scientist in Sandia’s Climate Systems department, you will be part of an interdisciplinary team to discover, understand, and communicate how climate hazards arising from coupled interactions within the climate system, and exposure to those hazards, contribute to climate-induced risks in societies. This work lies at the interface of climate sciences, computational modeling, data analytics, machine learning, spatiotemporal statistics, optimization, and uncertainty quantification. Success in this position requires the desire to distill and communicate scientific information in societally relevant terms.
