Description:<BR>
<BR>
Northrop Grumman is currently seeking applicants to fill several vacancies in<BR>
our scientific applications support team at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center<BR>
(GSFC). GSFC's Software Integration and Visualization Office (SIVO), in part,<BR>
provides advanced applications software and analysis support for scientists<BR>
affiliated with NASA. The successful applicant will support projects that use<BR>
climate, weather, and air pollution models in developing cutting-edge<BR>
scientific applications. One project involves porting the models to a desktop<BR>
supercomputer and placing them under a workflow tool to improve the<BR>
flexibility and accessibility of these models for climate and weather<BR>
research. Other projects involve coupling and integrating two or more models<BR>
into a system that provides new tools for scientific research, such as the<BR>
climate model downscaling capability.<BR>
<BR>
Experience with climate, weather, and/or air pollution models is required.<BR>
These models include but are not limited to WRF, GFS, GEOS-5, GMI, and modelE.<BR>
Other required skills include:<BR>
* Fortran (77, 90, 95);<BR>
* hands-on experience with HPC platforms and tools (Linux/UNIX,<BR>
compilers, debuggers, e.g. TotalView);<BR>
* MPI (or at least an understanding of parallel programming);<BR>
* bash, cshell, Python, debugging tools (TAU, gdb), CVS or SVN<BR>
repository experience;<BR>
* batch queues like PBS;<BR>
* data format libraries and tools (HDF, NetCDF, NCO);<BR>
* scientific modeling framework (ESMF, FMS); and<BR>
* visualization and analysis tools like IDL, MATLAB, GrADS, and VCDAT.<BR>
<BR>
A detail-oriented person with experience debugging code, troubleshooting<BR>
problems, and the ability to learn new tools for analysis and code development<BR>
is desired. Bachelors degree with 5 years of experience required or 4 years of<BR>
additional experience required in lieu of degree. Relocation Assistance<BR>
Available.<BR>
