The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Central Michigan University is seeking a Earth System Modeling & Precipitation Extremes Postdoctoral Research Fellow. This position is a one-year appointment with the potential for renewal. The successful applicant will join a dynamic group investigating many aspects of climate resiliency and severe storms in the current and future climate.
The postdoctoral research fellow will work as part of a team on the Building Predictive Capacity to Enhance Stormwater Infrastructure and Flood Resilience project. This project is focused on providing community-relevant information for Michigan to enhance resilience to hydrological hazards. The project aims to produce data and tools that will help communities plan for and become more resilient in collaboration with communities in three pilot watersheds in Michigan: the Chippewa River, Lower Grand River, and Rouge River. The project will use both statistical and dynamical downscaling of near-term climate model projections to develop local precipitation models to allow the team to simulate future risks of floods and torrential rains. The project will use the DOE COMPASS - GLM coupled system to include lake processes within these projections. Analysis techniques will also include extreme value analysis and statistical analysis under non-stationary frameworks. The project is supported by the Department of Energy Resiliency Center program, and will involve engagement of community partners to assess relevant data.
