The candidate will also have primary responsibility for generating, and the first opportunity to analyze, a new ‘Large Ensemble’ of future climate projections with the new DOE Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM). This ensemble will be released to the public upon completion of the project and form a vital new community resource. The position will be located at the Bren School at UC Santa Barbara, but will involve collaborative visits to LANL to facilitate work with E3SM, as well as in-person and remote interactions with the other team leads.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;box-sizing:border-box'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#333333'>Basic Qualifications: PhD in atmospheric, oceanic, or climate science or a related field at time of application.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;box-sizing:border-box'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#333333'>Additional Qualifications: 1 year experience working in Linux/Unix environments and programming in R, Matlab, Python, NCL, and/or FORTRAN.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;box-sizing:border-box'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#333333'>Preferred Qualifications: The ideal candidate will also have experience working with output from and conducting simulations with ocean and/or climate models.
