3. Postdoctoral Appointee
The Environmental Science Division (EVS) conducts basic and applied research and assessment that seek to understand how natural and human-managed environmental systems function and how system components respond to various perturbations. EVS studies the environmental effects of conventional and renewable energy development and use. We operate the Southern Great Plains Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) site for the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science.
Position Requirements
A PhD in Meteorology, Atmospheric Science, applied mathematics, computer science, engineering or a related field.
- Considerable knowledge of convective scale dynamics and microphysics.
- Considerable skills in working with scanning radar data. Preferably at C- and S-Band wavelengths.
- Considerable analytical abilities including working with large data sets (willingness to learn Python).
- Some knowledge of the workings of convective parameterizations in climate models.
- Some exposure to radiative transfer and radiometry.
- Good communication and collaborative skills.
- Experience with version control systems (git) and social coding (GitHub) is desirable.
- Some experience mapping problems to large computational frameworks is desirable (e.g. Python Multiprocessing or Jupyter clusters, Cassandra databases, etc.)
- A keenness to learn and a sense of excitement about meteorological and weather phenomena are essential.
