Position Overview
Applications are sought for a Post Doc to participate in a project designed to:
- Quantify aspects of wind climates of relevance to wind energy;
- Assess causes of intra-annual to intra-decadal variability in wind climates; and
- Diagnose where and how wind conditions may change over time.
This project is a collaboration between professors at Cornell University, scientists at a national laboratory (PNNL) and in private industry, and the selected applicant will have the opportunity to work closely with all three partners.
