## About the role

Reflective studies stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) through modeling and, where the science requires it, by assessing the feasibility of small-scale outdoor experiments. Our modeling work includes AIDE-SAI, a linked set of machine-learning emulators that simulates SAI end to end, from stratospheric circulation through aerosol microphysics to radiation. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- PhD in atmospheric science, fluid dynamics, or a closely related field, or equivalent research experience
- Experience running high-resolution or large-eddy simulations of dispersing material (plumes, tracers, or reacting flows) and comparing them against measurements
- Hands-on forecasting or mission-science experience on an airborne or balloon field campaign: planning flights from ensemble forecasts and making real-time calls during them
- Comfortable in Python and, ideally, Fortran on high-performance computing systems
- Ability to state clearly what a model result does and does not support, and to write it down so others can act on it
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially with mixed scientific, engineering, and non-technical audiences
