Hi T-stormers:

We are pleased to inform people that a position in hurricane modeling 
and data assimilation is now open for applicants and is tenable at the 
School of Meteorology, University of Oklahoma.

The PI is Xuguang Wang. As mentioned at the bottom of the advertisement, 
the contact is Professor Xuguang Wang at the following email address:

Xuguang.Wang at ou.edu <mailto:Xuguang.Wang at ou.edu>


The position description follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Post-doctoral research associate/research scientist position*

*in hurricane modeling and data assimilation.*

The School of Meteorology of University of Oklahoma has an opening for a 
post-doctoral research associate/research scientist to study the impact 
of outflow on hurricane intensification through ensemble-based data 
assimilation and ensemble simulations.This work will be performed at 
University of Oklahoma in collaboration with scientists in Naval 
Research Laboratory at Monterey.

Duties will include:

·Applying ensemble-based data assimilation and ensemble simulation 
systems to investigate the impact of outflow on TC intensity and 
predictability of TC intensification

·Study the impact of data from HS3 field experiments on the estimation 
and prediction of TC outflow

·Extend ensemble-based data assimilation and simulation system to 
include multiple numerical models and study the role of using multiple 
models in predicting outflow and in understanding the impact of outflow 
on TC intensification

·Run extensive series of numerical experiments and diagnostics for 
selected hurricanes

·Publishing articles in peer-reviewed journals

Desired Qualification:

·Education and Experience:

üPh.D. in atmospheric science or related discipline

üExperience in numerical modeling of meso/convective scales (preferably 
tropical cyclones)

üBackground in atmospheric data assimilation

·Skills and Proficiencies:

üDemonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively

üExcellent written and oral communication skills

üFortran 90/95 programming experience in UNIX/LINUX environment

üFamiliarity with scripting and plotting languages

Salary will be competitive based on experience and qualification. 
University of Oklahoma offers competitive benefits. Position is open now 
until filled and full consideration will be given to applications 
received by 1 May 2014.

To apply for the position, please submit electronic applications, 
including a letter of research interest and experience, CV, and three 
names of references including their contact information to
