<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Apply at <a href="https://jobs.careers.gov.sg/jobs/hrp/16591837/005056a3-d347-1fe0-a697-7a930785627b">

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>What the role is<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Centre for Climate Research Singapore (CCRS) is a division of the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS). At CCRS, our mission is to advance scientific understanding of tropical climate variability and change and its associated weather
systems affecting Singapore and the wider Southeast Asia region, so that the knowledge and expertise can benefit decision makers and the community. Our vision is to be a world leading centre in tropical climate and weather research focussing on the Southeast
Asia region.<br>
<br>
Within CCRS, the Department for Weather Research (DWR) leads the research and development (R&D) of our core tropical, convective-scale ‘SINGV’ modelling system for both weather and climate change applications. DWR also undertakes R&D and oversees the transition
to operations of SINGV-based local numerical weather prediction (NWP) capabilities with lead times up to two days ahead. The DWR works closely with CCRS’s Department of Climate Research (DCR) and High Performance Computing (HPC) Branch, and MSS forecasters.
Externally, CCRS is developing strategic collaborations with local universities and research institutes through the recently formed Climate and Water Research Alliance Singapore (CAWRAS). CCRS also works closely with a number of international organisations
including the UK Met Office, Australian Bureau of Meteorology, and US National Centre for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Since 2022, CCRS has been a core member of the international Momentum (formerly Unified Model - UM) partnership.<br>
<br>
The DWR Core Modelling Development (CMD) branch is responsible for developing CCRS’s core ‘SINGV’ modelling capabilities, using both physical-dynamical and data-driven/Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, with a focus on the representation of the underlying
physical and dynamical processes governing weather and climate in the Southeast Asian region. The CMD branch works closely with other CCRS branches to further develop/evaluate the core SINGV system in specific weather and climate change applications, and with
local agencies and institutes of higher learning to share research outcomes and further develop advanced modelling systems for the region.<br>
<br>
This new position seeks a talented atmospheric scientist, data scientist or computer scientist to contribute to the development of next-generation atmosphere-land-ocean modelling systems, combining physical-dynamical and AI approaches. You will work closely
with CCRS’s local and international partners to transition CCRS’s current UM-based “SINGV’ model into a next-generation physically based and AI-enabled modelling system that will underpin better regional numerical weather prediction and climate change projections.<o:p></o:p></p>
