The UCAR Visiting Scientist Programs office is recruiting a visiting scientist to work at NESDIS, Office of Research and Applications, in Camp Springs, Maryland. The selected scientist will be involved in the operational impact of satellite surface vector wind (OSVW) on numerical weather prediction. This position will be within Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation (JCSDA), working in close partnership with personnel at the NESDIS Ocean Surface Winds Team, the NWS/National Centers for Environmental Prediction, and OAR/Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorology Laboratory.
The two main user groups within the operational weather community are the numerical weather prediction (NWP) models and the human forecasters with marine responsibilities. NWP models are complex systems. Investigating optimal ways to assimilate satellite OSVW data and to quantify the impacts on NWP in the operational environment will be a central activity for this position.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in atmospheric, oceanic, physics or related sciences.
The selected candidate will receive a fixed annual salary commensurate with experience. Benefits include health and dental insurance, personal time off, paid holidays, mandatory participation in a retirement fund (TIAA/CREF), and life insurance. Some funds are provided for scientific travel and other support costs.
The application review process will begin on October 15, 2007, and the position will remain open until filled. Full text announcement located at: http://www.vsp.ucar.edu
