TL;DR

The University of Miami's Rosenstiel School is seeking a full-time Post-Doctoral researcher for a two-year position funded by NOAA, focusing on enhancing the accuracy of coupled ocean-atmosphere models used in tropical cyclone prediction. The incumbent will conduct Observing System Experiments (OSEs) to evaluate how diverse oceanographic data impacts model initial states and hurricane forecasts using weakly coupled data assimilation within HAFS. Daily tasks include improving the Modular Ocean Model version 6 (MOM6), conducting variational data assimilation, and analyzing results for publication in scientific journals. Essential skills are experience with numerical models, data assimilation, Linux, FORTRAN, Python, C++, and proficiency in high-performance computing environments. The role requires strong communication and independent research capabilities within a collaborative team environment at CIMAS, working closely with NOAA partners to address critical climate science challenges.
