a Research Scientist to work with the NOAA/Storm Prediction Center (SPC) and NOAA/Climate Prediction Center (CPC). This Research Scientist will provide scientific and meteorological expertise, as well as technical support for the development of advanced mesoscale
hazardous weather prediction techniques in the subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) timescales. This position will be based at the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) in Norman, OK, within the National Weather Center (NWC), a highly collaborative forecasting, research
and academic environment containing a number of NOAA and OU organizations. The incumbent will work directly with development meteorologists and operational forecasters at the SPC and CPC, and will have opportunities to interact with NOAA and academic scientists
within the NWC, as well as scientists and forecasters in the severe storms community.
