The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist position in the McKinley Ocean Carbon Group.

This position will focus on understanding the mechanisms of transport and storage of anthropogenic carbon (Cant) in the North Atlantic is mediated by the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and represented in CMIP6 Earth System Models. Evaluation of CMIP6 against new estimates from direct observations will allow the candidate to place constraints on future Cant uptake and storage as estimated by the CMIP6 suite. Prior experience with oceanography, carbon cycling, and/or ocean and climate models is preferred.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to build strong links with the many collaborators supported across two NSF/NERC funded projects on this topic. In Europe, collaborators at National Oceanography Center and the University of Exeter in the UK will lead estimates of Cant transports across the RAPID and OSNAP sections. In the US, collaborators at the University of Miami will make measurements in Florida Straits, at Georgia Tech will analyze OSNAP data, and at MIT and JPL will assess Cant transports in a range of models.
