Department of the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in
Yorktown Heights,
NY is seeking a world-class atmospheric scientist to join a
multi-disciplinary,
international team focused on meteorology and business
applications of
meteorology. The team has an atmosphere in which basic research
is
combined with experience on technical problems arising in
industry. </font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">The IBM Research Division is the
largest
industrial research organization in the world with 12 labs
worldwide, doing
work in a broad range of disciplines in the physical,
mathematical, computer
and life sciences and related engineering fields. Its
headquarters
is at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown
Heights, NY.

<font face="sans-serif" size="2">The candidate must have
experience in
and an excellent understanding of numerical weather prediction,
including
underlying physical and mathematical methods as demonstrated by
a good
publication record in international journals. The candidate
must
possess expertise with the scientific use of modern,
non-hydrostatic numerical
weather prediction codes such as WRF-ARW and the utilization of
surface
and upper-air measurements as well as satellite and radar
observations.
This should include land surface modeling considering issues
associated
with the surface state that impact soil moisture and temperature
as well
as snowpack evolution. In addition to experience with data
assimilation
for both NWP and land surface models, an understanding of their
coupling
to and applications with urban canopy models and schemes for
planetary
boundary layers models is required. Experience with
applications
including runoff and flooding, renewable energy, etc. is
desirable. Experience
with operational forecasting using numerical weather prediction
is also
desirable.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">The applicant would be
responsible for
enhancement of current capabilities at IBM Research in mesoscale
weather
modeling, including data assimilation and analysis. The
successful
candidate will define and execute a research and development
agenda to
support these efforts that are part of end-to-end weather
forecasting solutions
with a focus on decision support in energy, emergency
management, agriculture,
transportation and other industries.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">This person will be a team player
with
strong writing and presentation skills, able to create and
communicate
a vision, and collaborate with a multi-national,
interdisciplinary team.
The candidate should be willing to drive development of new
intellectual
property as well as community, academic and industry awareness
of IBM's
presence in the relevant fields. The candidate should have
strong
hands-on skills and be able to develop prototypes and evaluate
ideas, which
will also include collaboration with users and domain experts.
Such
capabilities include strong numerical and analytical skills,
experience
with relevant development tools, expertise in parallel computing
environments,
and geographic information systems.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">The applicant must be able to
invent
and implement new techniques, work with other team members to
integrate
such work into the group's environment and work effectively with
customers
to define their requirements and implement innovative solutions.
An
ideal candidate must have strong communication skills and a
desire to see
new technology applied in real-world situations.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">The successful candidate will
work with
the extant team to improve and maintain current capabilities,
and develop
and incorporate new techniques. A successful candidate will
interact
with the scientific and business personnel at IBM as well as
collaborators
outside of IBM, participate and make presentations on their work
and publish
results. While it is expected that the candidate will have good
skills
in working with a team, the ability to work independently is
also required.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">The successful candidate will
have a
Ph.D. or equivalent with at least 5 years of professional
experience, and
a demonstrated record of innovation and expertise in leading
research including
significant publications.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2"><b><u>Academic Requirements</u></b>:
The candidate must have a doctoral degree in atmospheric or
related
sciences from an accredited college or university with extensive
operational
and/or programming experience.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2"><b><u>Required Computing Skills</u></b>:
Strong meteorological computing skills in a Linux environment,
scripting
(e.g., shell, perl, python), and C/C++ or FORTRAN programming as
well use
of appropriate development environments, and data
formats/structures (e.g.,
netCDF, GriB), visualization, graphics and image processing
(e.g., OpenDX,
GEMPAK, GrADS, ImageMagick, R, NCL, Matlab, RIP), statistical
analysis
tools (e.g., MET, R, SPSS), version control system for software
development
(e.g., git), and high-performance parallel (cluster) computing
environment
(e.g., Linux clusters) </font>
