Agency
National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) - Department of Commerce (DOC)
Description
The
goal of CPO's support of postdoctoral programs is to grow the pool of scientists
qualified to advance scientific understanding and to transfer advances in
climate science and climate prediction into climate-related decision
framework(s) and decision tools. The program pairs early-career climate
scientists with hosting institutions. NOAA expects the award
recipient to address the following five priority areas:
1.
Identify,
manage, and develop postdoctoral and visiting scientists with expertise across
the full spectrum of NOAA-related sciences who will collaborate with NOAA
professionals and other researchers either in NOAA facilities or in other
research environments.
2.
Promote
undergraduate and graduate exposure and participation in NOAA-related science
through the development of innovative workshops and collaboration opportunities
with professional researchers and scientists inside and outside of NOAA.
3.
Conduct
research which improves the understanding and quantification of societal impacts
of NOAA-related science and operations and determines methods for better
communication of scientific results and findings.
4.
Conduct
research to develop earth-system models which complement and serve as a catalyst
for collaborative activities between NOAA scientists and early career and
visiting scientists supported through the program.
5.
Develop
and conduct integrated, interdisciplinary approaches and collaborations to
produce usable and actionable science to inform, support, and otherwise improve
weather, water and climate risk reduction and resilience.
Applicants
are encouraged to develop innovative methods to achieve these program
priorities. We anticipate participation across numerous NOAA programs, offices,
and scientific foci.
