The Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Program at Princeton University, in association with NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), seeks a postdoctoral or more senior research scientist for research focused on coupled high-resolution atmosphere-wave-ocean models and their implementation for simulating coastal storm events and impacts. The scientist will collaborate with GFDL researchers to enhance and analyze a high-resolution regional coupled model system that utilizes NOAA's state-of-the-art SHiELD atmospheric model, MOM6 ocean model, and WAVEWATCH III wave model. This project will emphasize research that targets understanding the role of small-scale (<10km) coupled="" air-sea="" interactions="" and="" boundary="" layer="" processes="" in="" the="" development="" of="" coastal="" weather="" systems="" and="" storm="" events.="" the="" project="" will="" also="" emphasize="" understanding="" the="" societal="" risks="" associated="" with="" coastal="" storm="" events="" including="" the="" ability="" to="" simulate="" precipitation="" patterns="" and="" coastal="" plains="" flooding="" events.="" the="" selected="" candidate="" will="" join="" a="" vigorous="" research="" group="" at="" princeton="" university,="" working="" in="" close="" collaboration="" with="" drs.="" brandon="" reichl="" and="" lucas="" harris="" at="" noaa/gfdl.="" the="" individual="" will="" have="" access="" to="" state-of-the-art="" numerical="" models="" and="" high-performance="" computing="" systems="" at="" princeton="" and="" noaa,="" working="" alongside="" gfdl="" model="" developers="" to="" advance="" capabilities="" for="" high-resolution="" coupled="" regional="" modeling.="" candidates="" must="" have="" a="" ph.d.="" in="" atmospheric="" science,="" physical="" oceanography,="" applied="" math,="" the="" physical="" sciences,="" or="" a="" closely="" related="" field.="" the="" following="" attributes="" are="" desirable:="" (a)="" a="" background="" in="" coupled="" air-sea="" interactions="" and="" atmosphere/ocean="" boundary="" layer="" processes;="" (b)="" experience="" in="" using="" advanced="" coupled="" atmosphere-ocean="" models;="" (c)="" experience="" in="" developing="" numerical="" models="" in="" collaborative="" environments;="" (d)="" excellent="" written,="" oral,="" and="" visual="" communication="" skills,="" demonstrated="" through="" prior="" peer-reviewed="" publications="" and="" presentations="" at="" major="" conferences;="" and="" (e)="" experience="" with="" software="" development="" and="" analysis="" tools,="" such="" as="" git,="" svn,="" linux,="" bash/csh,="" python,="" fortran,="" netcdf,="" pangeo,="" jupyter,="" and/or="" matlab.="" prior="" experience="" with="" the="" mom6="" and/or="" shield="" models="" is="" desirable="" but="" not="" required.="" initial="" appointments="" are="" for="" one="" year,="" with="" renewal="" for="" up="" to="" two="" additional="" years="" based="" on="" satisfactory="" performance="" and="" available="" funding.="" princeton="" is="" interested="" in="" candidates="" who,="" through="" their="" research,="" will="" contribute="" to="" the="" diversity="" and="" excellence="" of="" the="" academic="" community.="" applicants="" should="" apply="" online="" athttps://puwebp.princeton.edu/acadhire/position/32003.="" complete="" applications="" will="" include="" a="" cv,="" cover="" letter,="" publication="" and="" presentation="" list,="" 3="" letters="" of="" recommendation,="" and="" a="" one-to-two="" page="" research="" statement.="" review="" of="" applications="" will="" begin="" october="" 31,="" 2023,="" and="" continue="" until="" the="" position="" is="" filled.="" for="" additional="" information,="" contact="" brandon="" reichl="">10km)> or Lucas Harris .
