</b>Los Alamos National Laboratory is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in science and engineering on behalf of national security. The two-year postdoc positions is within the Climate, Ocean and Sea-Ice Modeling (COSIM) Team of the Theoretical
Division and Computational and Computer Science Division . COSIM develops advanced multi-scale ocean, ice models for the study of Earth system processes and climate change.

<b>Detailed Description
<div><br class="m_6572114702310790042m_6083795133372118628webkit-block-placeholder">
</div>
</b>The COSIM group seeks multiple postdocs to work on a broad range of climate science activities in computational physics, computational science, high-performance computing, advanced programming models, and analyses of coupled system dynamics. In terms
of computational physics, we seek research proposals for the development of advanced algorithms to improve the fidelity, performance and portability of global ocean, sea-ice and land-ice models with a focus toward high-resolution, grand-challenge scale configurations.
We also seek expertise and research proposals related to profiling and optimization of climate system models on DOE leadership class computing facilities. Proposals that develop and implement new programming paradigms to efficiently use emerging, exa-scale,
heterogeneous computing architectures are encouraged. With respect to simulation analyses we encourage research proposals that lead to improved description and understanding of high-resolution ocean, sea-ice, land-ice and/or coupled system dynamics with a
focus toward data assimilation, predictability, in-situ data processing and visualization. The MPAS-Ocean, -Sea-Ice and -Land-Ice are components of the newly developed U.S. Department of Energy climate model, the Accelerated Climate Model for Energy ( ). A
particular focus of ACME is fully-coupled, global, high-resolution simulations of the Earth system. Within this broad activity, the focus of Los Alamos National Laboratory is the role of ocean mesoscale eddies in the climate system, the role of the ocean and
ice systems in the carbon cycle and the role of the ocean and ice systems in sea-level rise.
