<p><b>Postdoc Researcher (</b>Tracking Code 15219)</p>
<dl><dt><b>BASIC JOB FUNCTION: </b></dt><dd>
<p>This position contributes to research and development of the atmospheric component of the Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) and its implementation and use within the Community Earth System Model (CESM) for climate and regional climate applications.
The research conducted focuses on evaluating the nonhydrostatic atmospheric component of MPAS for global variable-resolution regional-climate applications, specifically at meso-scale and convective-scale resolutions. This position requires working with NCAR
scientists and scientists at the Department of Energy (DOE) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) working under the Water Cycle and Climate Extremes Modeling (WACCEM) Scientific Focus Area (SFA).</p>
<p><b>DUTIES INCLUDE:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Conduct research and development related to the atmospheric component of MPAS used as a dynamical core within the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) of CESM. Research emphasis will be the evaluation and improvement of CESM/CAM/MPAS regional-climate capabilities
at meso- and convection-permitting scales. Work will include MPAS and CAM physics evaluations.
</li><li>Assist in the preparation and execution of MPAS/CAM-based regional climate experiments.
</li><li>Prepare results for publication in peer-reviewed journals and for presentation at meetings and conferences. Prepare and deliver summary reports or project progress reports as needed.
</li><li>Contribute to the goals of the MMM program. May assist in the development of funding proposals and contribute to program planning for the MPAS project within MMM.
</li><li>The above statements describe the primary work being performed. Additional tasks may be assigned from time to time.
</li></ul>
<p> <b>REQUIREMENTS INCLUDE:</b></p>
<p>Education and Experience:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ph.D. degree within the last 5 years in Meteorology, Physics, or a related field.</li></ul>
<p>Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:</p>
<ul>
<li>Knowledge and experience with probability and statistics </li><li>Skill in model development and evaluation, as demonstrated in peer-reviewed journal publications
</li><li>Knowledge in NWP model physics </li><li>Knowledge of and advanced skills with programming languages (Fortran-90 preferred) and scripting
</li><li>Ability in working with Linux/Unix operating systems and display tools (NCL, etc.)
</li><li>Effective written and oral communication skills </li><li>Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a development team</li></ul>
<p>Decision Making and Problem Solving:</p>
<ul>
<li>Conducts research and coordinates and integrates physics development and evaluation within CESM/CAM/MPAS under guidance from supervisor. Determines project priorities and constructs and implements research plans. Creatively and efficiently solves scientific
problems, independently or as part of a project team.</li></ul>
<p>Desired but not required:</p>
<ul>
<li>Experience with the MPAS and/or CESM modeling systems, and/or other regional/global numerical prediction modeling systems. </li></ul>
<p>HIGHLY DESIRED:</p>
<ul>
<li>Experience and specialization in climate, regional climate or numerical weather prediction, and/or meso- cloud-scale physics and dynamics.</li></ul>
