The position description follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Post-doctoral research associate/research scientist position*
*in hurricane modeling and data assimilation.*
The School of Meteorology of University of Oklahoma has an opening for a
post-doctoral research associate/research scientist to study the impact
of outflow on hurricane intensification through ensemble-based data
assimilation and ensemble simulations.This work will be performed at
University of Oklahoma in collaboration with scientists in Naval
Research Laboratory at Monterey.
Duties will include:
·Applying ensemble-based data assimilation and ensemble simulation
systems to investigate the impact of outflow on TC intensity and
predictability of TC intensification
·Study the impact of data from HS3 field experiments on the estimation
and prediction of TC outflow
·Extend ensemble-based data assimilation and simulation system to
include multiple numerical models and study the role of using multiple
models in predicting outflow and in understanding the impact of outflow
on TC intensification
·Run extensive series of numerical experiments and diagnostics for
selected hurricanes
·Publishing articles in peer-reviewed journals
Desired Qualification:
·Education and Experience:
üPh.D. in atmospheric science or related discipline
üExperience in numerical modeling of meso/convective scales (preferably
tropical cyclones)
üBackground in atmospheric data assimilation
·Skills and Proficiencies:
üDemonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively
üExcellent written and oral communication skills
üFortran 90/95 programming experience in UNIX/LINUX environment
üFamiliarity with scripting and plotting languages
Salary will be competitive based on experience and qualification.
University of Oklahoma offers competitive benefits. Position is open now
until filled and full consideration will be given to applications
received by 1 May 2014.
To apply for the position, please submit electronic applications,
