Hi Folks,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
NRL DC and Monterey are looking for a postdocs to advance probabilistic aerosol prediction, data assimilation and verification. It would be appreciated if you could distribute widely to your departments or other interested parties. The positions can be at
either NRL DC or Monterey. </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Be well</p>

<span style="font-size: 9.5pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: black;">The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Remote Sensing Division in Washington, DC is seeking applicants for postdoc opportunities in ensemble aerosol prediction with a range of focus
areas from ensemble data assimilation to verification and post-processing. The Navy has a particular interest in forecasting naturally occurring and anthropogenic aerosol particles which impact operations. Current Navy aerosol forecasting relies on the
deterministic Navy Aerosol Analysis Prediction System (NAAPS). A probabilistic version of the NAAPS system, referred to as Ensemble NAAPS (ENAAPS), was developed and is in the process of transitioning to operations. The ENAAPS system will be a focal point
of the above research opportunities. </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background: white;">
<span style="font-size: 9.5pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: black;">Projects related to ensemble data assimilation will focus on incorporating new observation types into the Navy’s ENAAPS ensemble aerosol prediction system in order to improve aerosol
vertical distribution, speciation, and coupling to meteorological parameters. Those wishing a verification focus will leverage NCAR’s METplus verification software to evaluate Navy and international model performance with an emphasis on developing metrics,
improving visualization, and inferring processes related to aerosol vertical distribution using a host of lidar and airborne datasets. Finally, research projects related to post-processing will leverage existing machine learning and statistical methods for
consolidating ensemble aerosol information into likely outcomes that can be used in downstream decision-making applications. </span></p>

<span style="font-size: 9.5pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: black;">Candidates are required to have completed a PhD in atmospheric science, environmental engineering, or a closely related field before starting the postdoc. Some programming experience
is required (Python, Fortran, Shell Scripting). NRL has access to high performance computing resources that will leveraged for postdoc research projects. Additionally, previous experience with data assimilation and aerosol prediction is preferred. This research
opportunity is a collaborative effort with NRL's Marine Meteorology Division in Monterey, CA. As such, the same research opportunity can be found under the Marine Meteorology Division for those interested in being stationed in Monterey. </span></p>
