[Zelinka, Mark]

We have an opening for a Satellite Meteorologist and Climate Modeler in the PCMDI project with expertise in satellite measurements and derived datasets for Earth system model evaluation. Your research will span topics in model-observation comparison, including the construction of model evaluation datasets, statistical evaluation of observational uncertainty, the design and execution of global model simulations and the analysis of single and multi-model  ensembles to quantify and constrain uncertainty in predictions of Earth system behavior. This position is in the Atmospheric, Earth and Energy Division, Physical and Life Sciences Directorate.

Essential Duties
- Conduct detailed complex quantitative comparisons of climate model results with satellite observations.
- Design and run model simulations for hypothesis-based scientific investigations of the causes of climate and Earth system variability and change.
- Publish papers in peer-reviewed journals, and present technical results at scientific conferences.
- Collaborate with others in a multidisciplinary team environment to accomplish research goals.
- Travel as required.
- Participate in the development of research proposals.
- Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications
- PhD in meteorology, atmospheric science, oceanography or related field or the equivalent combination of education and related experience.
- Significant experience working with satellite-based atmospheric sounding measurements.
- Significant experience in the comparison of weather or climate model results with satellite observations.
- Ability to effectively perform independent research.
- Advanced verbal and written communication skills, as evidenced by published results and presentations.
- Experience collaborating effectively with a team of scientists of diverse backgrounds.
- Proficiency in software development using Python.

Desired Qualifications:
- Experience designing and performing simulations using atmospheric general circulation or coupled Earth system models.
- Understanding of factors affecting satellite passive-sensor retrieval algorithms, including instrument calibration drift and satellite orbital changes

Pre-Employment Drug Test:  External applicant(s) selected for this position will be required to pass a post-offer, pre-employment drug test.  This includes testing for use of marijuana as Federal Law applies to us as a Federal Contractor.

Security Clearance:  This position requires a Department of Energy (DOE) Q-level clearance.
If you are selected, we will initiate a Federal background investigation to determine if you meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information or matter. In addition, all L or Q cleared employees are subject to random drug testing.  Q-level clearance requires U.S. citizenship.  If you hold multiple citizenships (U.S. and another country), you may be required to renounce your non-U.S. citizenship before a DOE L or Q clearance will be processed/granted.
