Description

We seek candidates who develop a competitive research program on high-resolution coupled ocean-atmosphere Regional Modeling of the Middle East Climate with a focus on effects of dust on radiative fluxes, cloud processes, and extreme events.

The applicant should have a Ph.D. in meteorology, physics, climate science, or a closely related field, postdoc experience in regional climate modeling, and a solid publication list.

This position is to support the KAUST Climate Environment & Sustainability Initiative, the design of regional adaptation/mitigation measures in light of on-going climate change, the exploration of the solar- and wind-energy potential in the Kingdom, and natural/anthropogenic hazards management.

The ErSE program at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology currently has fourteen full-time faculty members, over 50 postdoctoral fellows and research scientists and more than 70 graduate students. Research areas include applications of modern computational methods (including machine learning) to study geophysical problems associated with atmosphere and ocean circulation, crustal deformation and earthquakes, seismic wave phenomena, oil exploration, reservoir modeling and subsurface phenomena. In addition, ErSE faculty study geological processes related to active volcanism and the geology of Saudi Arabia. These areas are enhanced through close collaboration with some of the best geophysical and meteorological centers in the world, and through KAUST’s advanced central research facilities, including supercomputing and scientific visualization.

PSE division invites applications for faculty position at Assistant, Associate Professor and Full Professor ranks.
