CEDAR email: Visiting Support/Project Scientist - NOAA Weather and Climate Dynamics Group

[Susanne Demaree]

Visiting Support/Project Scientist



NOAA Weather and Climate Dynamics Group

Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory

Princeton, NJ



UCAR’s Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science
(CPAESS TM ) is seeking to fill a Visiting Scientist position at the NOAA
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory in Princeton, New Jersey.



*This is an initial two-year position with possibility of a one-year
extension.  Initial consideration will be given to applications received
prior to 17 November 2017.  Thereafter, applications will be reviewed until
this position is filled.  A foreign visa will be supported for the
positions.  Partial relocation costs will be provided.*



*What You Will Do*



This position(s) will focus on the continued development of the GFDL AM4
and fvGFS models at convection-resolving (< 4km) scales for nowcast to S2S
scales and beyond. The qualified candidate(s) will have a strong background
in the simulation of mesoscale and convective-scale features: examples
include but are not limited to tropical convection, tropical cyclones,
severe local storms, orographic and coastal phenomena, boundary-layer
motions, or intense rain, wind, ice, or snow events. The qualified
candidate(s) should have substantial experience configuring, running, and
evaluating numerical models (idealized or comprehensive) for simulating
these phenomena.



The responsibilities of the position will include supporting the PI's and
other group members' efforts to:



Design model configurations for simulation and prediction on
convection-resolving scales, including of the FV3 dynamical core and the
GFS and AM4 physics suites.



Prepare weather and climate simulations.



Analyze model output and compare to observations, including the development
of diagnostics for prediction and verification with standard datasets and
new observational products.



Document and present changes to the model and model results.



Design of graphical presentation of results, including figures for our
real-time prediction website.





*What You Need*



A PhD in Atmospheric Sciences or related field is desirable but not
required.





*Problem Solving*



Independent decision making is required.



Applies in-depth knowledge of program area to devise creative solutions to
problems. Erroneous decisions or recommendation would normally result in
serious delays to assigned projects or failure to achieve goals critical to
major organizational objectives. This could seriously affect the image of
the organization.



*This position is subject to work location requirement for obtaining access
to facilities and research systems. These requirements may include a
combination of national security checks, credit checks, fingerprinting, or
other security clearance requirements.*
