Spire Global is seeking a NWP modeler to join Spire’s global model validation team to implement and improve Spire modeling systems for data testing. This is an exciting opportunity for motivated scientists to team work with NWP modelers, data assimilation and computer scientists in Spire as well as scientists from around the world to assimilate unprecedented large amounts of GNSS-RO satellite data to make weather forecasts better. The successful candidates will join the NWP research team at Spire branch office in Boulder, Colorado, USA.</span></p>
