<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><br>
The IBM Research Division is the largest industrial research organization
in the world with eight labs worldwide, doing work in a broad range of
disciplines in the physical, mathematical, computer and life sciences and
related engineering fields. Its headquarters is at the IBM Thomas
J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY. For more information

The Mathematical Sciences Department of the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research
Center is seeking a post-masters or post-doctoral scientist to join a multi-disciplinary
team focused on applications of environmental modeling and data analysis.
The department has an atmosphere in which basic research is combined
with experience on technical problems arising in industry. On-going
research includes high-performance computing and visualization in atmospheric
and earth sciences as well as differential equations, dynamical systems,
machine learning, mathematical optimization, numerical analysis, statistics
and other disciplines. In addition to being located at a world-class
research institution, the candidate will be part of a team that operates
an in-house multi-channel NOAAport system for real-time access to both
computed and observed weather data, a dedicated high-performance computing
cluster, and 3d graphics workstations. </font><font size=3><br>
</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><br>
The candidate would be responsible for the enhancement and operation of
a meso-gamma-scale model-based weather forecasting system used in weather-sensitive
decision support applications. The successful candidate will work
with the extant team to improve and maintain operational capabilities,
and develop and incorporate new modeling, analysis and visualization techniques
that are part of an end-to-end solution with applications ranging from
water and energy management to emergency planning for and response to severe
weather and flooding events. In addition, the candidate will work
with the team to define and execute a research and development agenda,
be able to invent and implement new techniques, have strong communication
skills and a desire to see new technology applied in real-world situations.
For further information about the current activities, see </font><a href=http://www.research.ibm.com/weather/dt.html><font size=3 color=blue face="Times New Roman"><u>http://www.research.ibm.com/weather/DT.html</u></font></a><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">.
</font><font size=3><br>
</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><br>
The candidate should possess experience with both the operations and scientific
use of non-hydrostatic numerical weather prediction codes such as WRF-ARW,
RAMS or MM5. Knowledge of surface and upper-air measurements as well
as satellite and radar observations and utilization of NOAA/NWS data streams
is desirable. Experience with a high-performance parallel (cluster)
computing environment (e.g., IBM Cluster 1600, Linux clusters) is desirable
but not required. Each candidate must have a doctoral degree or a
masters with extensive operational and/or programming experience. </font><font size=3><br>
