OCEAN/ICE MODELING POSITION

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Theoretical Division, Fluid Dynamics Group
T-3, MS B216
Los Alamos, New Mexico 87545
7-6387/Fax 5-5926

Summary:

The Climate, Ocean and Sea Ice Modeling (COSIM) project at Los Alamos National Laboratory is seeking a new team member to participate in the development, diagnosis, and assessment of coupled climate models and their component models, emphasizing the ocean and sea ice components. The work will involve global simulations using COSIM-developed models (POP, CICE, HYPOP, HYCOM) to evaluate the models both at high resolution and in a coupled climate model context.

Required Skills:

Applicants should be proficient in one or more of the following areas: (1) development of ocean, sea ice, or coupled climate models, with an emphasis on innovative numerical methods and algorithms; (2) diagnosis and analysis of output from such models and comparison with observational datasets for the purpose of model verification and validation; (3) development of improved physical parameterizations for these three types of models. Candidates having expertise in more than one of these areas will be at an advantage. The successful applicant must have substantial experience working with large climate-related codes on high-performance parallel computers and must be fluent in Fortran programming.

Desired Skills:

Must demonstrate the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment and interact well with other team members.

Education:

The applicant should have a Ph.D. in oceanography, atmospheric science, applied math or related field or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience as determined by the Staff Member Review Committee.
