[Christine Wiedinmyer]

Postdoc Researcher: Marine Biogeochemical Model Development and Application
in the E3SM Earth System Model

 

Job Description: We seek a postdoc to work on the development and
application of the marine biogeochemical component within the U.S.
Department of Energy's new Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) The
work will use and extend an ocean biogeochemical ecosystem model within an
adaptive complexity framework. Work will include some implementation and
testing, analysis of marine biogeochemistry in fully coupled Earth system
simulations, and implementation of developments related to the improved
representation of carbon cycling in polar regions, shelf and coastal
environments. An ultimate goal for the position will be projections of the
climate impact of marine biogeochemical systems under a suite of human
interaction scenarios calculated within the coupled E3SM Earth
system-modeling framework. The successful candidate will be partly
responsible for identifying specific science goals compatible with these
broader requirements.

 

Desired Skills: The successful candidate will have experience and knowledge
of  marine biogeochemical cycles; past experience with the BEC
(Biogeochemical Elemental Cycling) model or comparable global or regional
marine carbon cycling model would be advantageous; computational ocean
and/or sea ice ecosystem modeling; experience in the use and/or analysis of
earth system models; expertise in computer programming in languages
compatible with high-performance computing (e.g. Fortran90, C, C++);
expertise in data-analysis languages (e.g. Python, Matlab). He/she will have
also demonstrated scientific excellence as evidenced by submission and
publication of authored publications in refereed journals, the ability to
create or improve numerical models, and the ability to analyze and interpret
biogeochemical simulation data. The ability to work in a highly
collaborative team setting is also a requirement.

 

Education: A Ph.D. in biological oceanography, chemical oceanography,
biogeochemical modeling, climate modeling, geochemistry, applied
mathematics, or a closely related field.
