Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Environment and Climate Change Canada
Application Deadline: 28 February 2019
A Postdoctoral Research Fellow is sought to undertake research on the analysis of precipitation and other climate data in the Climate Research Division (CRD) of Environment and Climate Change Canada. Research will be performed under the supervision of Dr. Xiaolan Wang. Specific objectives of the position will include research on (1) integrating/blending in situ data with satellite precipitation estimates to generate robust, representative gridded precipitation datasets on various time scales (monthly, pentad, daily) for Canada; (2) analyzing the resulting datasets to characterize Canada’s precipitation climate and changes therein and (3) using them to downscale climate model projections of precipitation.
Interested candidates need to apply through the Postdoctoral Research Program (PRP) poster: https://emploisfp-psjobs.cfp-psc.gc.ca/psrs-srfp/applicant/page1800?poster=785734. In order to be considered and further assessed for the above-described position, applicants must meet the essential qualifications and clearly identify one of the following as their education specialization: Atmospheric Science, Mathematics, or Statistics. Also, please send an email to Dr. Xiaolan Wang (Xiaolan.Wang@Canada.ca) to let her know you applied, and if you have any questions, please contact her.
