1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Laura Kerber <kerber@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Post-Doctoral Position on the Effect of Volcanism on the Martian Climate Applications are being solicited for a postdoctoral research position in volcanic/atmospheric modeling in the planetary geology group at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Consideration of applications will begin 02/21/2022 and continue until the position is filled. Desired start date between spring and summer 2022. Dr. Laura Kerber will serve as the primary advisor. Description of the Project: Volcanic eruptions throughout Martian history would have produced voluminous quantities of H2S, SO2, and H2O, which contributed to transient climate perturbations as well as surface reservoirs of ice and sulfate minerals. The goal of this project is to create a complete model of the volcanic sulfur on Mars, including eruption, residence in the atmosphere, photochemical and microphysical evolution, interaction with the water cycle, and deposition on the surface. Many parts of the model are already in place, including parameterizations for erupting sulfur and water species into the Martian atmosphere and tracking their radiative effects on the climate. Preferred (but not required) qualifications include: Prior work with large climate models, experience programming in Fortran, understanding of parallel processing/MPI, published research involving volcanic emissions, atmospheric physics or chemistry (especially microphysics of droplets, cloud physics, sulfur species, or photochemistry), or the climate of Mars. Familiarity with the French language is a plus. https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://citjpl.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Jobs/job/JPL-Campus/Postdoc-Opportunity---Volcanism-and-Climate-on-Ancient-Mars--Simulating-interactions-between-sulfur-species--water--and-climate-using-a-global-circulation-model--Group-3223_R1576__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!Ps0oX1qpAQu-0s-wGZrQ7EkgcRW91EzvMNKRTYVFjOiRCDLSm6AgQ4E6m3BDuOc$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://citjpl.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Jobs/job/JPL-Campus/Postdoc-Opportunity---Volcanism-and-Climate-on-Ancient-Mars--Simulating-interactions-between-sulfur-species--water--and-climate-using-a-global-circulation-model--Group-3223_R1576__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!MqbIiDZKENPG7T5hThDxTMjBG1rm1uUhf_bSJWzVhnc4-Y3bR5x-_yae12BN1fU$> 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 ------------------------------
