[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc Fellowship in Earth System Modeling - University of Michigan, CIGLR (Ann Arbor, MI)

[Mary Ogdahl]

*Job Opening: Earth System Modeler Postdoc*


*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 project 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). The candidate will work to
explore, develop, and test coupling strategies between three-dimensional
hydrodynamic models and three-dimensional hydrologic models. The ideal
candidate will have strong technical skills related to hydrodynamic, wave,
or similar model development and high-performance computing.

*Required qualifications*

   - PhD in physical oceanography, atmospheric science, or similar field.
   - Experience configuring, running, and evaluating large scale earth
   system models in a high-performance computing environment.
   - Experience in processing large datasets in a variety of different data
   formats (ASCII, GRIB, or NetCDF).
   - Skill in working with data from surface meteorological stations,
   in-situ oceanographic observation, and/or numerical weather prediction.
   - Experience with handling data in a Linux/Unix high-performance
   computing environment and scripting data analysis software such as R,
   Python, or IDL.
   - Strong publication record in a relevant field, including at least one
   lead-author publication.
   - Strong communication skills and demonstrated ability to work
   independently in collaboration with an interdisciplinary team.
   - US citizenship or permanent residency required.

*Desired qualifications*

   - Experience with FVCOM, ROMS, SCHISM and/or WAVEWATCH III models.
   - Experience in coupling hydrodynamic and hydrologic models (nearshore
   coupling).
   - Experience in coupling hydrodynamic and wave models.
   - Previous work on coastal inundation prediction.
   - Experience working with geospatial data and developing hydrodynamic
   model grids.
