<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Roboto;color:#363636">The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado is looking to fill two Research Scientist positions
in mesoscale data assimilation and numerical weather prediction for its collaborative research as a Cooperative Institute with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) Global Systems Division
(GSD). The incumbent will work within GSD’s Assimilation Development Branch (ADB).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Roboto;color:#363636">The Global Systems Division (GSD) is designing, developing and testing new convection allowing models (CAM) to improve weather prediction. The goal
is to improve prediction of severe weather including hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, flooding, and other weather that can have enormous impact on transportation, commerce, energy, and other sectors of the U.S. economy. GSD is collaborating with the
National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) of the National Weather Service (NWS) as well as other NOAA laboratories and national research institutes on the next generation Unified Forecast System (UFS). Key NOAA strategic mission goals are designed
to reduce loss of life, injury, and economic costs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Roboto;color:#363636">The two research scientists will support the UFS through the development of the Finite Volume 3 (FV3) model by developing capabilities for meso- and
storm-scale analysis and forecast applications. The FV3 will replace the current operational hourly assimilating regional Rapid Refresh (RAP) and High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR). The scientists will contribute to community development the SAR (and global)
FV3, to meet the needs of rapidly updating data assimilation cycles for an accurate deterministic and ensemble CAM analysis and forecast.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
