[ES_JOBS_NET] Earth System Modeler - University of Michigan, CIGLR (Ann Arbor, MI)

[Mary Ogdahl]

*Job Opening: Earth System Modeler*


*Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes ResearchSchool for Environment and
SustainabilityUniversity of Michigan*

*Summary*
The Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR) is seeking a
candidate to join a team of modelers working on development, testing, and
deployment of coupled, integrated earth system models of the Great Lakes
basin. The purpose of this integrated earth system modeling effort is to
support development of a real-time, three-dimensional circulation and flood
forecast modeling system in the Great Lakes. The integrated earth system
modeling components are designed to simulate physical processes including
meteorology, hydrology, hydrodynamics, waves, and ice. Objectives of the
project include calibration and verification of an unstructured
three-dimensional baroclinic hydrodynamic lake model that includes the
flood plains to predict coastal inundation. This lake model will be coupled
to operational meteorological  models such as the atmospheric
High-Resolution Rapid Refresh model (HRRR), the WAVEWATCH III wave model,
and the hydrologic National Water Model (NWM). You will work to explore,
develop, and test coupling strategies between three dimensional
hydrodynamic models and three-dimensional hydrologic models.

*Required Qualifications*

   - A bachelor's degree in the natural sciences or engineering, with 1-3
   years of related experience in hydrodynamic modeling in research projects
   and/or professional activities.
   - Experience configuring, running, and evaluating large scale earth
   system models in a high-performance computing environment.
   - Previous experience in processing large datasets in a variety of
   different data formats (ASCII, GRIB, or NetCDF).
   - Strong technical skills related to hydrodynamic, wave, or similar
   model development and high-performance computing.
   - US citizenship or permanent residency.

*Desired Qualifications*

   - Master’s or PhD in the natural sciences or engineering, with some
   experience working in a research environment.
   - Skill in working with surface meteorological stations, in-situ
   oceanographic observation, and/or numerical weather prediction data.
   - Experience in coupling earth system models.
   - Experience with FVCOM and/or WAVEWATCH III models.
   - Demonstrated ability to analyze hydrodynamic model output.
   - Experience with handling data in a Linux/Unix high-performance
   computing environment and scripting data analysis software such as R,
   Python, or IDL.
   - Experience working with geospatial data and developing hydrodynamic
   model grids.
