details. And the plain text version follows.

Thanks,

Job Title: Postdoc Research in Climate Modeling
Organization Name: CCS-2/Computational Physics and Methods, LANL, NM, USA
What You Will Do
Los Alamos National Laboratory is a multidisciplinary research 
institution engaged in science and engineering on behalf of national 
security. The climate modeling effort at LANL, in part, develops and 
uses advanced multi-scale models for the study of Earth system 
processes. This two year position is available immediately.

The postdoc researcher will work in a Department of Energy (DOE) program 
that supports fundamental, interdisciplinary research to achieve 
predictive understanding of climate. Exploiting the capabilities of 
DOE’s High Performance Computing (HPC) systems in order to
accelerate advances in climate science is a priority.

Sophisticated, architecture-aware, variable-resolution dynamical cores 
developed under this project permit direct numerical studies of 
phenomena that are poorly resolved in the current generation of climate 
models. For example, in the atmosphere, such processes include effects 
due to steep topography, convection and cloud processes, gravity waves, 
frontogenesis, and others, and in the ocean they include interaction of 
submesoscale eddies and internal waves with larger scale circulation and 
topography. While applicants can propose their own research ideas, 
general research themes include investigating and characterising 
linkages between such processes and larger scale dynamics and biases, 
and developing alternative approaches to parameterizing the effects of 
unresolved dynamics and physics in climate-relevant flows, by leveraging 
recent developments in statistical and machine learning and model 
reduction techniques.

What You Need
The successful candidate will
have advanced knowledge of geophysical fluid dynamics or atmospheric 
dynamics or climate dynamics,
have an understanding of statistical and machine learning techniques
have demonstrated scientific excellence as evidenced by publications in 
refereed journals.
be proficient in High Performance Computing

Education: PhD in related field completed within the past five years or 
soon to be completed.

Notes to Applicants: Your application must include a detailed cover 
letter that explains how you meet the required skills and describes your 
qualifications and research interests. In addition to including this 
cover letter in your online application (IRC 70601 at jobs.lanl.gov), 
please send this cover letter along with your Curriculum Vitae to 
balu at lanl.gov. Also arrange for three letters of reference to be sent 
directly to the same email address.

Where You Will Work
Located in northern New Mexico, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is 
a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in strategic science on 
behalf of national security.  LANL enhances national security by 
ensuring the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear stockpile, 
developing technologies to reduce threats from weapons of mass 
destruction, and solving problems related to energy, environment, 
infrastructure, health, and global security concerns.

Additional Details:
Position does not require a security clearance.  Selected candidates 
will be subject to drug testing and other pre-employment background checks.

Candidates may be considered for a Director's Fellowship and outstanding 
candidates may be considered for the prestigious Marie Curie, Richard P. 
Feynman, J. Robert Oppenheimer, or Frederick Reines Fellowships.

For general information go to Postdoc Program.

New-Employment Drug Test: The Laboratory requires successful applicants 
to complete a new-employment drug test and maintains a substance abuse 
policy that includes random drug testing.

Equal Opportunity:
Los Alamos National Laboratory is an equal opportunity employer and 
supports a diverse and inclusive workforce. All employment practices are
