*Job Opening: **Biophysical Modeling Analyst*



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

*Summary*
We are seeking an individual to join our ecological and physical modeling
teams at the University of Michigan's Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes
Research (CIGLR) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's
Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab (NOAA GLERL). Under the direction of
project principal investigators, the Biophysical Modeling Analyst will work
collaboratively with CIGLR and NOAA GLERL scientists to:

Develop experimental ecological forecasts linked to the hydrodynamic models
of the Great Lakes Operational Forecast System.
Evaluate model performance through statistical comparison of modeled and
observed water quality, biological, and physical variables. These models
simulate ecological and limnological processes within the Great Lakes
including water quality, harmful algal blooms, and biogeochemical
processes, among others.
This position can be filled at the Research Laboratory Specialist Associate
or Intermediate level depending on experience.

This position is open only to US Citizens or permanent residents due to
federal security clearance required for access to NOAA GLERL facilities and
resources.

*Qualifications*

   - A bachelor's degree in the natural sciences, engineering, or related
   field. A master's degree is preferred.
   - At least one (1) year professional or academic experience processing,
   analyzing, and visualizing ecological and/or oceanographic datasets.
   - Experience working with coupled hydrodynamic and ecological models for
   lakes or oceans is preferred.
   - Experience using programming languages (e.g., R or Python) to perform
   data manipulation, execute statistical analyses, and generate figures,
   including geographical data.
   - Experience in an academic research and/or professional setting working
   with code and/or output for geophysical fluid dynamic (lake, ocean,
   atmosphere) or aquatic ecological models.
   - Familiarity with hydrodynamic/ocean modeling frameworks such as FVCOM
   is preferred.
   - Experience recording scholarly productivity commensurate with career
   stage, including co-authorship on peer-reviewed manuscripts is preferred.
   - Experience running mechanistic ecological models using a
   high-performance computing system is preferred.

*Salary Range: *$50,000 - $67,000. Salary will be determined based on
experience and level.
