National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)
in Boulder, Colorado. This position comes with
associated software engineering and project
scientist support, as well as a share of CGD
administrative and computing resources. The
specific responsibilities associated with the
position are: to conduct original, independent
and collaborative research in ocean model
development with a particular focus on
computational methods and interfacing resolved
scale dynamics (ocean dynamical cores) with
physical parameterizations across a range of
resolutions; to lead and facilitate
collaborative research on the incorporation of
new ocean dynamical cores within the<span

and to communicate scientific results through
both publications in scientific journals and
presentations at national and international
scientific meetings. These activities will
address high-priority technical requirements and
are to be coordinated with ocean modeling
partners, the CESM Ocean Modeling Working Group
(OMWG) and university contributors. The
successful candidate will work in collaboration
with newly hired Project Scientists and Software
Engineers, and existing members of the
Oceanography Section of CGD to further these
partnerships.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; line-height:
21px;">The successful candidate also will be
expected to contribute to the CGD mission "To
discover the key processes in each component of
the Earth's climate system and to understand the
interactions among them; to represent this
knowledge in community models that effectively
utilize computing advances; and to apply these
models and observations to scientific problems
of societal relevance." To fulfill this mission,
CGD encourages and supports a triad of
interdependent activities: fundamental research
into atmospheric and climate processes,
community model development, and the application
of these models to research the earth's climate
system. CGD is the host center of the CESM, and
virtually all its activities and resources
directly or indirectly support CESM, either in
the immediate or longer term. CGD scientists do
have the opportunity to develop an independent
research program, within the broad scope of
these expectations and of the NCAR and CGD
strategic plans. Such research could be either
collaborative or independent, but should take
advantage of and contribute to NCAR as a
national center.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; line-height:
21px;">The position will be filled either at the
Scientist I, or Scientist II level, depending on
experience and qualifications. NCAR Scientist I,
Scientist II, Scientist III and Senior Scientist
positions are roughly equivalent to university
tenure track ranks of Assistant Professor,
Associate Professor, Associate Professor with
tenure and full Professor, respectively.
Promotion from either Scientist I, or II, is
expected sometime within a 5 year term, pending
a successful review of scientific productivity
and innovation, contributions to CGD and NCAR
programs, community service, and emerging
scientific leadership.</p>
