[ES_JOBS_NET] Water Resources Engineer – Coastal Modeling, Tuscaloosa, AL

[Ryan Spies]

*Water Resources Engineer – Coastal Modeling*

Lynker is hiring a water resources engineer to work alongside scientific
experts with NOAA's Office of Coast Survey (OCS) and NOAA's Office of Water
Prediction (OWP) at the National Water Center (NWC) on the University of
Alabama campus in Tuscaloosa. The selected candidate will be apart of a
team of scientists and engineers working on real-time inland and coastal
hydrodynamic/hydrologic forecasting. The NWC is currently supporting
research and development modeling activities focused on coupling freshwater
model applications to ocean models. NOAA’s NWM is the foundation for the
nationally consistent operational hydro forecasting and source of inland
hydrologic information. Lynker staff are developing demonstration code and
associated documentation to couple the Extratropical Surge and Tide
Operational Forecast System (ESTOFS) and Advanced Circulation Model
(ADCIRC) to the National Water Model (NWM) in the Coastal Zones while also
determining the feasibility for using NOAA Environmental Modeling System
for unified model coupling.

Daily activities of the position will include research and development for
coastal modeling applications; collaboration with scientific experts and
stakeholders to identify gaps and weaknesses in existing modeling methods;
and geoprocessing and algorithm development (i.e. programming) for
automated workflows for processing model input/output data.

*Experience or skills should include:*

·        Graduate-level education/training (or experience) in
hydrodynamic/hydrologic and geospatial science, coastal hydrodynamic
modeling, and process-automation programming using Python, R or similar
languages

·        Comprehensive knowledge of saltwater physical processes (ocean
hydrodynamics, waves, wind, surge, tides, etc.)

·        Knowledge of hydrodynamic/hydrologic geospatial data processing

·        Knowledge of hydrography and bathymetry datasets

·        Knowledge and experience using hydrologic and hydrodynamics
modeling applications (familiarity with unstructured models is a plus .e.g.
ADCIRC/SCHISM/FVCOM)

·        Experience in numerical model development and programming using
FORTRAN

·        Experience with ESRI GIS applications and tools for processing
large data sets used in hydrologic/hydraulic analysis

·        Experience scripting in Linux environment

·        A sound understanding of the National Water Model’s operations and
capabilities (http://water.noaa.gov).

Work will be performed on-site at the National Water Center in Tuscaloosa,
AL. US citizenship or Permanent Residency is required at time of
application.

*Interested candidates should send a cover letter and a resume to Dr.
Graeme Aggett (**gaggett at lynkertech.com* <gaggett at lynkertech.com>*). All
applicants are to clearly state their US residence status (either
‘Permanent Resident’ or ‘Citizen’) in the first line of the cover letter.*

Job Type: Full-time

Expected Start Date: May/June 2019
