*Post-doctoral research associate or 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 or research scientist in the area of 
hurricane modeling and data assimilation. The work will be performed at 
University of Oklahoma in collaboration with scientists in Naval 
Research Laboratory at Monterey.  Working with one of the leading teams 
in data assimilation and hurricane modeling, successful candidates will 
conduct research to advance the science in hurricane 
dynamics/thermodynamics, predictability, modeling and data assimilation.

The candidate will conduct research to investigate the mechanism of 
hurricane intensification, in particular the impact of outflow on 
hurricane intensification, through ensemble-based data assimilation and 
ensemble simulations, study the impact of data from HS3 (Hurricane and 
Severe Storms Sentinel) field experiments on the estimation and 
prediction of hurricane outflow and intensification, and extend 
ensemble-based data assimilation and simulation system to include 
multiple numerical models.

Desired Qualification:

·Education and Experience:

üPh.D. in atmospheric science, Meteorology, Engineering, Computer 
Sciences, Physics, mathematics or related disciplines

üExperience in numerical modeling

·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

Depending on experience and qualification, the position can be either a
