[Barry Baker - NOAA Affiliate]

Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Atmospheric Sciences

The George Mason University, Center for Spatial Information Science and
Systems (CSISS) in collaboration with the Satellite Earth System Studies
(CISESS) Program and NOAA’s Air Resources Laboratory invites applications
for two Postdoctoral Research Fellow positions to work with the Chemical
Modeling & Emissions group at ARL in the NOAA Center for Weather & Climate
Prediction (NCWCP) in College Park, MD.

George Mason has a strong institutional commitment to the achievement of
excellence and diversity among its faculty and staff, and strongly
encourages candidates to apply who will enrich Mason’s academic and
culturally inclusive environment.
Responsibilities:

The two incumbents will perform research related to weather and air quality
forecasting and possess a broad range of knowledge and skills including
atmospheric chemistry modeling, emission science, high performance
computing, air quality data analysis and model evaluation, machine learning
technologies, satellite data analysis and superior communication abilities.

   - One postdoctoral associate will work closely with ARL scientists to
   develop an emissions processing system for NOAA aerosol and atmospheric
   composition (AAC) models in the Unified Forecast System (UFS) framework and
   perform simulations with UFS AAC models and evaluate results toward the
   improvement of emissions inputs;
   - A second postdoctoral associate will focus on developing machine
   learning emulators for components of UFS AAC models or postprocessors;
   - Both candidates will be expected to publish their results in
   high-quality, peer-reviewed journals and make clear, professional
   presentations at major conferences, seminars and other internal NOAA
   meetings.

Required Qualifications

   - PhD in atmospheric sciences or related field;
   - Excellent written and oral communication skills;
   - Experience in atmospheric chemistry modeling and/or emissions science;
   - Experience with machine learning technologies and development of
   process emulators;
   - Experience working in high performance computing environments.
   Preferred Qualifications:
   - Experience with emissions processing software, but especially the
   Harvard-NASA Emissions Component (HEMCO);
   - Familiarity with the Community Emissions Data System (CEDS), the
   Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR), or other global
   emissions datasets;
   - Proficiency in FORTRAN and Python.
