Job Title: Geophysical Fluid Dynamics and Atmospheric Dynamics Postdoc<br>
Organization Name: CCS-2/Computational Physics and Methods, LANL, NM, USA<br>
What You Will Do<br>
Los Alamos National Laboratory is a multidisciplinary research<br>
institution engaged in science and engineering on behalf of national<br>
security. The climate modeling effort at LANL, in part, develops and<br>
uses advanced multi-scale models for the study of Earth system<br>
processes. This two year position is available immediately.<br>
<br>
The postdoc researcher will work in a Department of Energy (DOE)<br>
program that supports fundamental, interdisciplinary research to<br>
achieve a predictive understanding of climate. Exploiting the<br>
capabilities of DOE’s High Performance Computing (HPC) systems in<br>
order to<br>
accelerate advances in climate science is a priority.<br>
<br>
Sophisticated, architecture-aware, variable-resolution dynamical cores<br>
developed under this project permit direct numerical studies of<br>
atmospheric phenomena that are poorly resolved in the current<br>
generation of climate models. Such processes include effects due to<br>
steep topography, convection and cloud processes, gravity waves,<br>
frontogenesis, and others. The researcher will focus on investigating<br>
and characterising linkages between such processes and the climate<br>
system. For example, the researcher will conduct variable-resolution,<br>
non-hydrostatic simulations in order to better capture precipitation<br>
distribution in developing fronts, and study the effects of such<br>
more-accurate representation of local precipitation on seasonal and<br>
regional precipitation biases---biases that plague the current<br>
generation of climate models.<br>
<br>
What You Need<br>
The successful candidate will have advanced knowledge of geophysical<br>
fluid dynamics/atmospheric dynamics and will be proficient in HPC.<br>
She/he will also have demonstrated scientific excellence as evidenced<br>
by publications in refereed journals.<br>
<br>
Education: PhD in related field completed within the past five years<br>
or soon to be completed.<br>
<br>
Notes to Applicants: In addition to applying on-line, please send a<br>
cover letter detailing qualifications and research interests, a<br>
curriculum vitae/resume, and names of three references to<br>
<a href="mailto:balu@lanl.gov">balu@lanl.gov</a>. Also coordinate with your references to have their<br>
letter sent directly to the same email address to complete your<br>
application.<br>
<br>
Where You Will Work<br>
Located in northern New Mexico, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)<br>
is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in strategic<br>
science on behalf of national security. LANL enhances national<br>
security by ensuring the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear<br>
stockpile, developing technologies to reduce threats from weapons of<br>
mass destruction, and solving problems related to energy, environment,<br>
infrastructure, health, and global security concerns.<br>
<br>
Additional Details:<br>
Position does not require a security clearance. Selected candidates<br>
will be subject to drug testing and other pre-employment background<br>
checks.<br>
<br>
Candidates may be considered for a Director's Fellowship and<br>
outstanding candidates may be considered for the prestigious Marie<br>
Curie, Richard P. Feynman, J. Robert Oppenheimer, or Frederick Reines<br>
Fellowships.<br>
<br>
For general information go to Postdoc Program.<br>
<br>
New-Employment Drug Test: The Laboratory requires successful<br>
applicants to complete a new-employment drug test and maintains a<br>
substance abuse policy that includes random drug testing.<br>
<br>
<br>
