</span><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Developing computational and numerical methods for optimizing large-scale atmospheric modeling systems on evolving computational platforms, including the development of the next-generation modeling system
beyond the Community Multiscale Air Quality Model (CMAQ) with linkages and possible integration with other modeling systems (such as meteorology, hydrology, water quality, ecological exposure, and health assessment); and,</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Serving as a technical expert and providing scientific support for atmospheric modeling systems in areas of numerical methods for process integration, parallel processing, scientific programming, and code
management.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Persons interested in this position should possess hands-on computer model development experience in the environmental area, which should have involved a lead role in designing, organizing,
and implementing team research to design/develop complex atmospheric models; and, possess a demonstrated knowledge of parallel computer architectures, parallel processing technology and paradigms to improve the computational efficiency of atmospheric models.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
