*Ph.D. Position in Climate Science*
*Utah State University, Logan, Utah*

Utah State University opens a four-year Ph.D. position to study climate
science in the Department of Plants, Soils and Climate (http://psc.usu.edu).
The position will investigate natural variability and climate change,
weather and climate extremes, paleoclimatology through dendrochronology,
drought cycles and implications for water resources and human adaptation.

Responsibilities are flexible and open-ended, and student interests will
guide the scientific developments. Preferred M.S. backgrounds include
meteorology, atmospheric/climate science, applied physics, or physical
geography. Students with an interest in cross-disciplinary research are
highly encouraged. Some familiarity with computer programming languages is
required (*GrADS,* Fortran, Python, R, NCL, etc.). The student will receive
training in climate modeling, climate diagnostics, dendroclimatology, and
benefit from collective mentorship in a vibrant, interdisciplinary research
environment.

The Ph.D. fellowship is for 4 years with an annual stipend of $20,000 plus
full tuitions. Minimum GPA 3.5 & GRE > 70%.  Interested candidates should
contact Prof. Simon Wang <simon.wang at usu.edu>
