  • Analyze evaluation results, draw meaningful conclusions, and provide actionable recommendations for enhancing forecast accuracy and model performance.
  • Document your findings in clear and concise reports and communicate complex technical information to a wide audience.
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in forecasting methodologies and evaluation techniques.
Qualifications
  • M.S. in a physical science field (e.g., hydrology, meteorology, atmospheric science)
  • 2+ years of experience
  • Demonstrated proficiency in geospatial statistics and uncertainty quantification methods
  • Strong understanding of principles governing flood inundation processes
  • Familiarity with tools and techniques for manipulating and analyzing gridded fields and geospatial data (e.g., GIS, remote sensing)
  • Solid programming skills in Python and/or R
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team
