The Atmospheric Radiation and Climate Research Group is an enthusiastic group of scientists with a range of expertise covering radiative transfer, state-of-the art atmospheric remote sensing, complex data analysis, numerical modeling, and field work. We seek energetic individuals interested in pursuing careers in satellite remote sensing and global climate to join our dynamic research team. Motivated students at either the MS or PhD level and qualified post-docs are encouraged to contact us for more information.
