I came across this via LinkedIn. See the job description and qualifications needed below. - Val Senior Atmospheric and Marine Researcher NREL - Golden, Colorado *Job Description* The National Wind Technology Center at the NREL Flatiron?s Campus is seeking a qualified candidate with a strong background in atmospheric sciences to join the wind energy sciences team to support offshore atmospheric sciences research. The candidate is expected to focus on the marine environment and applications to the growing offshore wind industry. We are therefore seeking a researcher with a strong background in the theory, numerical modeling, and simulation of the atmosphere, ocean, and their interaction. In particular, we seek a candidate with in-depth knowledge of marine boundary layer processes, numerical weather prediction modeling for offshore wind energy applications, improving numerical weather prediction models for the marine atmospheric boundary layer (e.g., coupling with ocean or wave models), wind resource assessment techniques, and validation or assimilation of model simulations with observations. The successful candidate has knowledge of climate simulations and the effect of climate change on offshore wind energy, and/or experience in simulating extreme events (hurricanes). The candidate can expect to develop and apply new modeling techniques for marine atmospheric flows within WRF and LES codes, conduct and assess simulations, use observations from remote sensing instruments to perform validation, generate wind resource assessments, and to identify and tackle the latest research questions in marine atmospheric sciences and offshore wind energy. The successful candidate is expected to demonstrate a broad understanding of atmospheric principles, theories, and concepts. The researcher will work with the US Department of Energy Wind Energy Technology Office, with other national laboratories, industry partners, and the international community to execute projects and promote the wind energy industry. We offer a unique collaborative environment with world-renowned scientists in the area of renewable energy and atmospheric sciences. The scientist will be involved in strategic research decisions at NREL and within the research community in the U.S. Basic Qualifications For Researcher IV level Relevant PhD and 4 or more years of experience . Or, relevant Master's Degree and 7 or more years of experience . Or, relevant Bachelor's Degree and 9 or more years of experience . For Researcher V level Relevant PhD and 9 or more years of experience . Or, relevant Master's Degree and 12 or more years of experience . Or, relevant Bachelor's Degree and 14 or more years of experience . Additional Required Qualifications - The candidate will have excellent writing, interpersonal, and communication skills and will be expected to publish results in high-impact technical journals and present work at conferences, symposia, and review meetings. - The candidate will also be expected to support the development of new work proposals, preparations, and reviews as well as have a record of publications in high-impact factor journals -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This coming Wednesday, on June 22, 2022, we are delighted to have Dr. Jan-Huey Chen speaking at 11:00 am MDT on the *Tropical cyclones in DIMOSIC project*. [image: Screen Shot 2022-06-16 at 11.54.57 AM.png] Jan-Huey?s presentation will investigate the tropical cyclone (TC) forecasts in the models which are participating in the DIMOSIC (DIfferent MOdels - Same Initial Conditions) project. Seven models from different institutes have joined in the project, including the System for High-resolution prediction on Earth-to-Local Domains (SHiELD) from GFDL. All models run 10-day forecasts initialized at 00Z every 3 days with the same initial conditions provided by the ECMWF during June 2018- June 2019. Dr. Chen will compare the TC forecast skills based on the common TC forecast evaluation metrics, e. g. errors/biases of track and intensity, as well as on the TC related precipitation, and TC genesis evaluation. *See more info on Jan-Huey?s flyer - Save this to your Google Calendar * Watch this fascinating new presentation here - See the upcoming CPAESS Discovery Seminar schedule -- *I acknowledge and honor the Cheyenne, Ute, and Arapaho Tribes, and their land upon which UCAR | NCAR stands.

We are looking for two volunteers who can share their experience writing graduate fellowship proposals (like the NSF Graduate Fellowships) or science proposals with a group of ~40 undergraduate and graduate NCAR/UCAR summer interns as part of our Professional Development Workshop Series . We are putting together a panel of 2-3 speakers, one will be a scientist at NCAR and we are looking for 1-2 graduate students or postdocs to round out the perspectives. We are meeting July 7th from 9-11am MT via zoom. If you have written proposals as a graduate student and can participate, please contact me. Thank you! Jerry -- Jerry M.
