The successful candidate will join a cross-disciplinary multi-institutional team recently tasked with developing and validating new global numerical prediction models of the neutral atmosphere extending to 500 km in altitude for atmospheric and space-weather applications. We seek a talented early- mid- or late-career scientist with research interests and expertise in the dynamics, physics and chemistry of the neutral upper atmosphere (altitudes ~80-500 km) to help NRL advance physics-based prediction of the thermosphere on time scales of 0-5 days. A Ph.D. in atmospheric science, computational fluid dynamics, physics, applied mathematics, or a related discipline, is desired, with a demonstrated willingness and ability to research problems that improve short-term predictive skill in the upper atmosphere, including via upper atmospheric physics parameterizations and machine-learning methods. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Further information on this position, including requirements for NRL federal employment and application procedures, can be found at:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><a href="https://www.usajobs.gov/job/773222900"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>https://www.usajobs.gov/job/773222900</span></a><span class=MsoHyperlink><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3815281740/">https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3815281740/</a> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><a href="https://findajob.agu.org/job/8023532/research-scientist-in-physics-based-global-prediction-of-the-upper-atmosphere/">https://findajob.agu.org/job/8023532/research-scientist-in-physics-based-global-prediction-of-the-upper-atmosphere/</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Additional questions regarding this position that are not covered here or via the links above should be directed to Steve Eckermann (email: </span><a href="mailto:stephen.eckermann.civ@us.navy.mil"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>stephen.eckermann.civ@us.navy.mil</span></a><span class=InternetLink><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>)</span></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> or Cory Barton (email: </span><a href="mailto:cory.a.barton2.civ@us.navy.mil"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>cory.a.barton2.civ@us.navy.mil</span></a><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>).
