What you'll do

• Develop and maintain observational and numerical model data sets for tropical cyclone research.
• Quantify the impact of emerging technology data sets like drones and high-altitude balloons.
• Use AI and machine learning concepts to analyze large observational data sets.
• Run and analyze high-level numerical models to understand tropical cyclone structure and intensity.
• Analyze NOAA observational data to improve hurricane model physics and forecasts.
• Write and publish scientific results in top-tier peer-reviewed journals.
• Develop clearly written code and comments to process and analyze complex data.
• Participate in the annual NOAA Hurricane Field Program to collect novel observations.

What we're looking for

• PhD in Meteorology, Atmospheric Science, Computer Science, Engineering, or a closely related field.
• Knowledge of an advanced programming language such as MATLAB or Python.
• Basic understanding of the current state of tropical cyclone research.
• Ability to work collaboratively within a diverse and dynamic team.
• Knowledge of air-sea interactions and boundary-layer processes in hurricanes (preferred).
• Advanced programming skills and a strong publication record (preferred).
• Skills in analyzing and evaluating large data sets (highly desirable).
• Experience with field experiments and hurricane forecast models (preferred).
