Opportunities
We are always keen to hear from talented and motivated students and researchers who are interested in joining the group. Our work is at the interface between meteorology, climate change research, ecosystem science, glaciology and chemistry. Much of our work uses information provided by the stable isotopic composition of key elements in the earth system (water and carbon). We are particularly interested in projects that combine modeling and observations. Feel free to contact David Noone if your are interested in joining the group or to discuss your proposal ideas.
More information on the graduate program in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences can be found here.
We always have a number of short term research projects that could be appropriate for Independent Study projects (graduate or undergraduate level), internships or gaining research experience with the group. Undergraduate students are encouraged to consider a UROP study. Possible areas of interest are:
- Laboratory projects
- Weather and climate modeling
- Data analysis projects
- Engineering and electronics for field instrumentation
- Meteorological and trace gas measurements
- Calibration procedures
Funding support for graduate research
In addition to support tied to our existing research program, there are many opportunities to request funding from various agencies. These include:
- National Science Foundation, Graduate Research Fellowship Program
- NASA Earth Systems Science Fellowship (announced annually)
- NASA Graduate Student Researches Program
- DOE Graduate Research Environmental Fellowship
- EPA STAR Fellowship Program
- CIRES-ESRL Graduate Research Fellowship
Funding support for postdoctoral studies
- CIRES Visiting Fellows program
- NOAA Climate and Global Change Postdoc Program
- NASA postdoctoral program
At the present we have no openings.
Undergrad research internships
The Climate Processes Research Group typically has a number of undergraduate students helping on various aspects of our research program. We seek motivated undergraduates in physical sciences, computer sciences, electrical or mechanical engineering. Students should be technically oriented and have good self-directed problem solving skills.
