[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc in dust characterization and emissions modeling, GMU CSISS/NOAA ARL

[Wei-Ting Hung]

Postdoctoral Research Associate - Dust DSRA

The George Mason University–Cooperative Institute for Satellite and Earth System Studies (CISESS) in collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration–Air Resources Laboratory invites applications for a postdoctoral associate. Funding is available for two years with the possibility of extension and/or promotion depending on a performance review.

The successful candidate will have expertise in numerical modeling related to weather and atmospheric chemistry at regional and/or global scales. The successful candidate will also perform research related to improving the modeling of dust characterization and emissions incorporated into NOAA weather and air quality forecast models, including within the Unified Forecast System. The ideal candidate will have experience in wind-blown dust research and also be familiar with atmospheric chemistry and air quality modeling using models such as CMAQ, WRF-Chem, GEOS-Chem, or other similar 3-D models. Additionally, the incumbent will be expected to publish the results of their research in high-quality, peer-reviewed journals and make clear, professional presentations at major conferences, seminars, and other internal NOAA meetings.

The position is available for 2 years with funding available for additional years. Starting dates can begin this fall with later starting dates possible.

Tasks:

  *   Conduct simulations using the NOAA Unified Forecast System in coordination with NOAA Air Resources Laboratory.
  *   Develop and improve surface exchange processes related to atmospheric composition within the UFS earth system models.
  *   Evaluate forecast simulations against satellite and in situ measurements.

Required Requirements:

  1.  Ph.D. or equivalent degree earned in a relevant science or engineering field.
  2.  Expertise with gridded meteorological and atmospheric models such as WRF, CMAQ, or GEOS-Chem and their applications to air quality and/or climate change.
  3.  Experience with Linux HPC systems and Fortran.
  4.  Excellent written and oral communication skills.
