*Job Opportunity: Postdoctoral Research Associate on ensemble
hydrometeorological prediction at University of Texas Arlington*

The Hydrology and Water Resource Lab at the University of Texas, Arlington (
https://hydromet.uta.edu/) is currently seeking a Postdoctoral Research
Associate specializing in ensemble hydrometeorological prediction. This
position offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to advancements in
hydrometeorological and hydroclimatic forecasts, as well as to develop
decision support tools aimed at facilitating forecast-guided water
management and conducting land-atmosphere coupling experiments.

Funded jointly by NOAA and Texas state agencies, the successful candidate
will collaborate with a diverse interdisciplinary research team. This team
includes climate scientists, hydrological scientists, civil and
environmental engineers, and computer scientists. If you are passionate
about making significant contributions to the field and thrive in a
collaborative research environment, we encourage you to apply.

Qualifications:

●          A PhD degree in meteorology, climate, earth system modeling,
hydrology, statistics, or a related field

●          Experience in postprocessing and validating
ensemble/probabilistic meteorological and climate forecasts

●          Proficient in at least two of the following programming
languages: Fortran, Python, R, Java, C and NCL

●          Must have working experience with application and development on
High-performance Linux clusters

●          Strong verbal and written communication skills as demonstrated
in peer-reviewed publications

●          Experience in numerical weather, climate, and land-surface model
development and data assimilation will be a plus

Responsibilities:

●          Maintain and enhance ensemble hydrometeorological forecast
systems

●          Develop prototype statistical forecast modules by applying
techniques developed at UTA; perform integration tests and hindcast
experiments

●          Present results in peer-reviewed publications and in national
conferences

●          Engage partners and stakeholders through regular meetings



The position is 100% research with flexible start date in 2024. The
position can last up to two years. The starting salary is $60K. The
Postdoctoral Scholar will be part of a growing community of postdocs in the
Dept. Civil Engineering and have many opportunities for professional
development including funding to attend meetings and workshops.

We recognize that the best science can originate from diverse
collaborations with people from varied backgrounds, and we especially
encourage applicants from underrepresented groups to apply. To apply,
please send a cover letter, CV with a list of at least two references, one
first-authored journal article to Dr. Yu Zhang (yu.zhang at uta.edu). Review
of applications is rolling (starting July 1st) and will continue until the
position is filled. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to
Dr. Yu Zhang.
