As a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Earth Sciences, this position will support an investigation entitled “Toward ice sheet surface data assimilation: Employing satellite observation and machine leaning to improve model representation of ice sheet surface melt”. The candidate will work under the direction of Prof Nowicki and in collaboration with multiple UB faculty and students as well as our external collaborators located at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The work consists of contributing to the development of a machine learning algorithm to improve the modeled surface meltwater in the Goddard Earth Observing (GEOS) model. Advocating and adapting the model based on collaborator feedback is key to the success of the effort, so the postdoctoral associate will be in communication with team member and will be required to present the project at workshop and conferences as well as in publications.

As a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Earth Sciences, this position will support an investigation entitled “Earth System Modeling of Regional Sea Level Rise and Risk”. The candidate will work under the direction of Prof Nowicki (UB) and Prof Kopp (Rutgers) and in collaboration with multiple UB faculty and students as well as our external collaborators located at NASAGoddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) and at US universities. The work consists of using the GISS Earth System model (ModelE) in combination with the Framework for Assessing Changes to Sea-level (FACTS) and working closely with the Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison for CMIP7 (ISMIP7) to assess the key interactions that affect regional sea level. The FACTS tool has been used for probabilistic assessment of sea level projections in recent IPCC and NCA reports. Integration of ISMIP7 simulations with GISS ModelE outputs and FACTS is key to the success of the effort, so the postdoctoral associate will be in communication with team member, ISMIP7 participants and member of the NASA Sea level Change team and will be required to present the project at workshop and conferences as well as in publications.

Sophie N has been a science team member of the NASA Sea Level Change Team (N-SLCT) since its begining - 10 years ago... Time has flown by and the N-SLCT is behind the https://sealevel.nasa.gov/ portal. This time around, Sophie co-leads the WG1, which is tasked to deepen our knowledge of the Earth system interactions that influence relative sea level change and facilitate team wide research on this topic. The photo is the result of a mapping exercise of "whos who" and captures our team expertise...
