*Position Description*

The Cooperative Institute for Severe and High Impact Weather Research and
Operations (CIWRO) at the University of Oklahoma, in collaboration with
NOAA’s Air Resources Laboratory (ARL), seeks a Postdoctoral Research
Associate to participate in a new project aimed at using experimental field
data to improve the prediction and related responses of land surface and
boundary layer parameter changes on both a seasonal as well as annual time
scales. Analyses will include utilizing data not only from heterogeneous
landscapes but also from observations acquired from complex terrain
environments. The position will be physically located at the NOAA David
Skaggs Research Center in Boulder, Colorado.



*Overview*

ARL’s effort in this research endeavor is part of a greater NOAA/Office of
Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) research and development project
intended to improve weather and climate forecasts in support of fire
weather and associated hydrometeorological processes. This project has a
primary experimental component, as well as a secondary modeling component.
The position will play a key role in both areas with a heavy emphasis on
data analysis. Four boundary layer supersites are planned to be fielded in
the western U.S. in support of these efforts. Each site will include the
deployment of atmospheric profilers, eddy covariance systems, upper air
systems, meteorological equipment, and uncrewed aircraft systems.



*Responsibilities*

The candidate will have an opportunity to analyze some of the initial data
from these sites with a focus on better understanding the interactions
between the surface and boundary layer processes. This work will provide
opportunities for the associate to author research papers, both as a
primary and secondary author, and give professional presentations at
relevant conferences and meetings. The applicant will have opportunities to
work in outdoor field settings in rural or remote locations.



*Required Qualifications and Skills*

   - Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences, meteorology, or a closely related field
   - Experience with micrometeorological instrumentation, data loggers, and
   associated tools
   - Experience with analysis of boundary layer and related surface data



*Desirable Qualifications and Skills*

   - Familiarity with Python (preferably) or other programming languages
   such as Matlab, IDL, or GrADS
   - Familiarity with computer modeling of atmospheric processes
   - Ability to work independently
   - Good communication skills, both orally and in writing



*Salary/Benefits*

The beginning salary will be competitive for this position and will be
dependent on experience. The University of Oklahoma provides a generous
benefits package. Information on benefits may be found at
https://hr.ou.edu/Employees. The position will remain open until a suitable
candidate is identified.



*How to Apply*

To apply for the position, please forward your curriculum vitae, cover
letter, and list of three references to:
