The primary focus will be on optimizing and calibrating the marine JEDI system for the initialization of the marine components within the coupled UFS framework.

The successful candidate will work on the following scientific and engineering tasks:

  • Advance the development of marine (ocean and sea ice) data assimilation systems and evaluate the scientific quality of the ocean analyses for use in global medium-range weather and subseasonal-to-seasonal prediction systems.
  • Evaluate the scientific quality of the ocean and sea-ice analyses produced by the JEDI-based coupled assimilation system.
  • Design, develop, and maintain evaluation tools for the ocean and sea-ice domains.
  • Follow software development best practices.
  • Develop a flexible software framework in Python, optimized for High-Performance Computing (HPC).
  • Collaborate with multiple teams in an Agile-style development environment.
  • Investigate the coupled model setup and parameterizations at the interfaces between interacting components of coupled Earth system models.
  • Support and further develop the UFS' subsystems and their communication among the model and data assimilation components.
Qualifications

A Master's Degree or higher in physical oceanography, or related physical science with at least 2 years of experience in coupled forecast and analysis systems.

Demonstrated knowledge, skills, and abilities in at least five of the following areas:
  • Expert knowledge of the physical and mathematical basis of geophysical modeling (oceanic and atmospheric).
  • Advance knowledge of physical oceanography (ocean and sea-ice)
  • Knowledge and experience of modern programming languages such as object-oriented python and C++
  • Experience working in a UNIX environment with advanced scripting languages
  • Experience in working with HPC platforms (MPI, OpenMP, etc.)
  • Modern software engineering practices (requirements gathering, design, prototyping, version control, integration, testing, and documentation).
  • Experience in model testing and evaluation and/or knowledge of verification principles.
  • Ability to work independently and in a team environment on complex problems.
  • Good oral and written communication skills in English
