Job description
Description
The position seeks a recent PhD in the physical sciences to conduct leading-edge research in the general area of radiative forcing of climate using spectral and radiometric measurements of infrared radiation. A focus of the research is the far-infrared (far-IR) portion of the spectrum, nominally the wavelengths from 15 to 100 micrometers. This region has not been routinely observed from space, but several new NASA and International missions (PreFIRE, FORUM, and TICFIRE) will be observing the far-IR in the near future. The position will assess, with current data, our understanding of radiative forcing in polar environments where climate change is occurring on a more rapid basis than at lower latitudes. The position will make use of existing sensors (CERES, AIRS, IASI, CrIS, MODIS). Expertise in infrared radiative transfer calculations is highly desirable.
