Graduate Student Opportunity
University of Alaska Fairbanks

Graduate student opportunity in Atmospheric Science. The College of Natural Science, and Mathematics at the University of Alaska Fairbanks is accepting applications for a graduate student scholarship in the Atmospheric Science Department for fall 2008 or spring 2009. We are seeking highly qualified M.S. or Ph.D. applicants interested in pursing research with WRFchem on air quality, acidic rain and dry deposition of trace gases and matter for central Alaska. Applicants should have interest in computer science and strong backgrounds in mathematics, physics, and atmospheric science. The graduate student will perform various simulations on the supercomputers of the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center, and evaluate simulation performance. As many of the research activities are carried out in close cooperation with computer scientists and scientists from all over the world, the graduate student can gain cutting edge IT knowledge and international experience, while getting an atmospheric science education. 

The Department of Atmospheric Sciences has been ranked 9th in 2005 and 8th in 2006 by Academic Analytics for scholarly productivity in Atmospheric Science and Meteorology.
