The Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (<span class="caps">CIRA</span>) at Colorado State University (<span class="caps">CSU</span>) is a multi-million dollar research organization located on CSU’s Foothills Campus in Fort Collins, Colorado. <span class="caps">CIRA</span> is
a cooperative institute that is also a research department within CSU’s College of Engineering, in partnership with the Department of Atmospheric Science. Its vision is to conduct interdisciplinary research in the atmospheric sciences by entraining skills
beyond the meteorological disciplines, exploiting advances in engineering and computer science, facilitating transitional activity between pure and applied research, leveraging both national and international resources and partnerships, and assisting <span class="caps">NOAA</span>,
Colorado State University, the State of Colorado, and the Nation through the application of our research to areas of societal benefit.<br>
NOAA’s Global Systems Laboratory (<span class="caps">GSL</span>) of the Earth System Research Laboratory (<span class="caps">ESRL</span>) is a federal science and research laboratory under NOAA’s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research. <span class="caps">GSL</span> provides
the National Weather Service (<span class="caps">NWS</span>) and the nation with environmental observing, prediction, computer, visualization, and information systems. These systems deliver data, forecasts, and predictions of weather, including severe weather
events, within the next few minutes to weeks away. <span class="caps">GSL</span> is a leader in the applied research, directed development, and technology transfer of environmental data, models, products, and services that enhance environmental understanding
with the outcome of supporting commerce, protecting life and property, and promoting a scientifically literate public.<br>
Within <span class="caps">GSL</span>, the Evaluation and Decision Support Division (<span class="caps">EDS</span>) / Weather Information Systems Evolution Branch (<span class="caps">WISE</span>) is on the forefront in developing new systems for <span class="caps">NWS</span> forecasters
(and other federal and international agencies) who require display of and interaction with real-time weather data for their forecast and warning operations, as well as to support Impact-Based Decision Support Services (<span class="caps">IDSS</span>). For
example, a key function is the generation of warnings or hazard information for high-impact weather events such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods.<br>
<span class="caps">WISE</span> has been tasked with the creation of a variety of science-based applications to enable forecasters to work more quickly and efficiently for both routine tasks and in critical weather situations. The host platform for these applications
is the 2nd generation of the Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (<span class="caps">AWIPS</span> II). It uses service-oriented architecture and is written in Java and Python using the Eclipse framework.<o:p></o:p></p>

The individual in this position will work in collaboration with other scientists and software developers as well as the broader community, designing, developing, testing and refining applications for operational weather entities. Development will initially
occur within the Hazard Services framework in <span class="caps">AWIPS</span> II, but may also include other web-based platforms. The near focus will be on applications and extensions to services that support forecasting and warning services, as well as <span class="caps">IDSS</span>,
for diverse phenomena such as tropical storms and associated storm surge, thunderstorms, winter storms, flooding, as well as new ground-breaking paradigms involving the incorporation of continuous and probabilistic information. This position will report to
