Job Description

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is a world-class research
institution powered by a highly educated, diverse workforce committed to
collaboration and work-life balance. Dynamic, results-oriented professionals
come to PNNL to work together on high-impact projects and initiatives for
the U.S. Department of Energy and other sponsors. At PNNL, you'll find a
positive, fast-paced environment and excellent benefits including pension,
matching 401(k), tuition reimbursement plans, health insurance, flexible
work schedules and telework options. PNNL is located in eastern Washington
State, an area known for its outdoor recreation, thriving wine industry, and
affordable cost of living.

The Opportunity

Help shape the direction of an internationally recognized climate research
enterprise! PNNL's Atmospheric Sciences and Global Change Division is a
strong and established team that covers a vast breadth and depth of climate
and global change research. We are looking for an ambitious, innovative mid-
to senior-career atmospheric scientist with recognized expertise in
developing and applying leadership-class global models to address important
research challenges. You'll build your career, your contacts, and your
research portfolio with the assistance of professional support staff,
encouraging and flexible management, and a robust portfolio of projects and
opportunities. Both independently and in collaboration with world-class
scientists at PNNL and partner institutions, you will provide leadership to
projects sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science,
such as the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM). You will also lead
and support strategic planning of new programs, interface directly with
program managers, and facilitate close relationships with regional, national
and international scientific institutions for collaborations and
partnerships.

The Ideal Candidate

If you are a mid- to senior-career global atmospheric modeler who enjoys
working in a dynamic and team-oriented environment, we want to connect with
you. Specifically, we're looking for candidates with strong communication
and collaboration skills who is internationally recognized for their work in
global atmospheric and Earth system modeling. In this role, you will be
expected to lead and contribute to projects spanning multiple institutions
as well as provide strategic leadership of PNNL's modeling efforts.
Expertise in linking global atmospheric models with observations to address
key science challenges related to aerosols, clouds, numerical methods,
and/or interactions with the ocean and land surface interactions is also
desirable. A strong and impactful publication record and experience in
effectively leading large, diverse teams are essential. Demonstrated success
in proposal writing is also highly desirable.

Minimum Qualifications

BS/BA with 11 years of experience; MS/MA with 9 years of experience, or a
PhD with 7 years' experience.

Preferred Qualifications

. Widely recognized authority with technical contributions recognized as
having a substantial impact on advancing the current state of knowledge and
understanding.

. A substantial track record of high-quality publications in peer-review
journals.

. Prior experience in developing atmospheric models and/or integrated
measurement-to-modeling approaches to address key science challenges.

. Ph.D. in climate science or a related field.

. 15+ years of experience in developing and applying global atmospheric
models.

. A demonstrated track record of obtaining research funding through
successful proposal development, building relationships with funding
agencies, and/or other means.

. International recognition (via awards, lecture invitations, or other
honors) in atmospheric, climate, or Earth system modeling.

. Expertise in aerosols, clouds, numerical methods, atmosphere-surface
interactions, or related research areas.

. A substantial record of independent contributions to research programs.

. Extensive experience in technical and project leadership roles.

. Superior collaboration and communication skills.

. The ability to lead dynamic, multi-disciplinary teams of scientists and
manage complex projects that may span multiple institutions beyond PNNL.

. A demonstrated record of strong leadership qualities, team building and
motivation skills, and project management, as well as a proven commitment to
the mentoring and development of junior scientific staff.
