Successful candidates will become part of an interdisciplinary research network on Sustainable Climate Risk Management (SCRiM, <a href="http://scrimhub.org/">http://scrimhub.org/</a>). Centered at Penn State and linking 18 universities and five research institutions in six nations, SCRiM addresses the question: <b>What are sustainable, scientifically sound, technologically feasible, economically efficient, and ethically defensible climate-risk management strategies? </b>SCRiM catalyzes fundamental, mission-oriented, and transdisciplinary research to characterize climate risks and trade-offs associated with risk management instruments such as mitigation, adaptation, and geoengineering. The network provides unique opportunities for research, education, outreach, decision support, and professional development.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">The selected candidate will work with SCRiM project teams and affiliated researchers to develop modeling, analysis, visualization, decision support, and educational tools. Desired areas of expertise include developing and running Earth system models and/or their components, geophysical data visualization, statistical analysis of large datasets, optimization techniques, and development of web-based graphical user interfaces. The primary languages used by SCRiM researchers are Python, R, C/C++, and Fortan, and significant experience with data analysis in one or more of these languages is essential. Experience SCRiM research topics, working in high- performance computing environments, and with additional relevant languages such as Julia, Matlab, NCL, Javascript, and PHP is also desirable. Initial projects may include (but are not limited to) development of a graphical user interface for a simple integrated assessment model, development of a data portal for downscaled climate data, development of a decision support tool for coastal flood risk management, porting and modification of climate models for use on SCRiM cyberinfrastructure, and coupling of model components (originally developed for different disciplinary domains) for multi-objective trade-off analyses in a high-performance computational environment.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">The successful candidate should have a Master’s degree in a relevant field (Ph.D. preferred) and a demonstrated record of achievement in scientific computing. The position is available immediately and will remain open until filled. Initial appointment will be for a period of one year, with excellent possibility of renewal for one or more additional years.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><b>Apply to job # 67684 at</b> <a href="https://psu.jobs/job/67684">https://psu.jobs/job/67684</a></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"> </div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Campus Security Crime Statistics: For more about safety at Penn State, and to review the Annual</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Security Report which contains information about crime statistics and other safety and security</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">matters, please go to <a href="http://www.police.psu.edu/clery/">http://www.police.psu.edu/clery/</a> , which will also provide you with detail on</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">how to request a hard copy of the Annual Security Report.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Penn State is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer, and is committed to providing employment opportunities to all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or protected veteran status.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">---</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"brush script mt";font-size:x-large"><font color="#000000">Katerina Kostadinova</font></span><br></p><p style="font-size:small;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><font color="#000000" size="2" face="tahoma, sans-serif">Administrative Support Coordinator</font></p><p style="font-size:small;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><font size="2" face="tahoma, sans-serif"><font color="#000000">Network for Sustainable Climate Risk Management (<a href="http://scrimhub.org/" target="_blank">SCRiM</a>)</font><br></font></p><p style="font-size:small;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><font color="#000000" size="2" face="tahoma, sans-serif"><br></font></p><p style="font-size:small;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><font color="#000000" size="2" face="tahoma, sans-serif">Earth & Environmental Systems Institute </font></p><p style="font-size:small;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><font color="#000000" size="2" face="tahoma, sans-serif">219 EES Building, University Park, PA 16802</font></p><p style="font-size:small;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><font color="#000000" size="2" face="tahoma, sans-serif">P: (814) 865-5007</font></p></div></div>
