The Space Science Division of the US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington,
DC seeks an early-to-mid career scientist to join an in-place team developing
whole-atmosphere versions of Navy weather prediction models extending to 500 km
altitude. We seek a scientist to test and improve these state-of-the-science
numerical models on high-performance computers (HPCs), to analyze their output, and
to use the resulting insights to target code changes or additions that continuously
improve their skill and efficiency. An ability and willingness to work within a
team environment to achieve collective goals and assigned milestones are needed. A
Ph.D. or M. Sc. in atmospheric science, computational fluid dynamics, physics,
applied mathematics, meteorology, aeronomy, or a related discipline, is desired.
Other useful skill sets or interests for this position include:
• Knowledge of or interest in atmospheric models, particularly those
extending into the middle and upper atmospheres, or related computational fluid
dynamics codes, including making changes to and debugging such codes on
multiprocessor HPC architectures.
• Demonstrated skill with high-level programming languages (e.g., MPI
Fortran, C++, Java) and visualization/analysis software such as python, IDL or
MatLab.
• Experience or interest in running multiprocessor code on massively parallel
HPCs.
• Experience working with large atmospheric data sets generated by models
(e.g., HDF5).
