*CIRES Research Assistant/Research Scientist 1*

*Atmospheric Chemical Modeler*

The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES
<https://cires.colorado.edu/>) at the University of Colorado Boulder is
seeking a Research Scientist to join the Regional Chemical Modeling
<https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/csd/groups/csd4/> group of the NOAA Earth System
Research Laboratory’s Chemical Sciences Division (ESRL/CSD
<https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/csd/>). Within this group, the CIRES Research
Scientist will work closely with a team of NOAA and CIRES scientists to
develop atmospheric chemical-transport models and to carry out evaluations
of the models using observations from field campaigns and satellites.

A doctoral degree is required, preferably in atmospheric science,
engineering, chemistry, physics, or a similar field. The ideal candidate
would have experience with atmospheric chemical-transport model development
and data analysis and visualization. The candidate should communicate
effectively and must be able to work independently as well as
collaboratively within a group.

*Who We Are*

At CIRES, the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences,
more than 800 environmental scientists work to understand the dynamic Earth
system, including people's relationship with the planet. CIRES is a
partnership of NOAA and the University of Colorado Boulder, and our areas
of expertise include weather and climate, changes at the Earth's poles, air
quality and atmospheric chemistry, water resources, and solid Earth
sciences. Our vision is to be instrumental in ensuring a sustainable future
environment by advancing scientific and societal understanding of the Earth
system.

In the Chemical Sciences Division (CSD) of the NOAA Earth System Research
Laboratory, researchers build instruments to make precise measurements,
conduct laboratory experiments, design and execute field missions, analyze
observations, and use sophisticated computer models to better understand
how our changing atmosphere is influencing climate - and therefore people.

*Responsibilities*

·      Work closely with a team of NOAA and CIRES scientists to develop
atmospheric chemical-transport models

·      Evaluate the models using observations from research field campaigns
and satellite platforms

·      Report on this research in scientific conferences and in
peer-reviewed publications

*What You Should Know*

CIRES commits to inclusive excellence by advancing equity and diversity in
all that we do. We are an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer,
and particularly encourage applications from members of historically
underrepresented racial/ethnic groups, women, individuals with
disabilities, veterans, LGBTQ community members, and others who demonstrate
the ability to help us achieve our vision of a diverse and inclusive
community.

*What We Can Offer*

We can offer a competitive salary, commensurate with experience, along with
a generous benefits package.

*Requirements*

·      A doctoral degree or equivalent in atmospheric science, engineering,
chemistry, physics, or a related field

·      Experience with Fortran programming

·      Experience developing atmospheric chemical-transport models

·      Ability to work as a team member on multiple tasks in parallel

*Desirable experience*

·      Experience analyzing atmospheric data sets (such as chemical
composition or satellite retrievals)

·      Experience with data analysis/visualization applications (e.g.
Python, NCL, IDL, MatLab, or similar)

·      Experience with statistical evaluations of large, multi-dimensional
datasets

*What You Will Need*

·      Excellent organizational skills and logical thinking ability

·      Eagerness to learn and apply new skills

·      Willingness to work both independently and collaboratively

·      Strong ability to communicate results in both written and oral form
