Opportunities

The University of Colorado at Boulder is a world leader in polar research. Boulder has multiple climate research centers and amazing collaboration opportunities. Working where the Plains meet the Rockies provides a lot of inspiration. We hope you will consider joining us! Below are current opportunities to join our group. We especially welcome scientists with their own research funding. As always, contact us if you have questions or ideas for collaboration.

For prospective undergraduate students: We would be delighted to have you contribute to our group's research on polar climate. You should have a strong background in computing/math/science, but no specific expertise or background in polar climate science is required.

For prospective graduate students: We are currently looking for motivated and enthusiastic graduate students to join our group. Please apply to graduate school in ATOC and also consider applying for a fellowship: NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program, NASA Graduate Student Research Program

For prospective postdoctoral research fellows: Demonstrating your ability to pursue and fund independent research is especially important. Please let us know if you have an idea for a joint research proposal. In addition, the following fellowships are highly recommended: CIRES Fellowship, NOAA Climate and Global Change Fellowship, NSF Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Fellowship

We currently have NASA funding for a postdoctoral research fellow to analyze Arctic cloud and precipitation processes.
