 Dear ACRE community,

Please pass along the attached position announcement regarding

CIRES/PSD Research Associate in Data Assimilation and Model Diagnosis

The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) in
Boulder, Colorado is seeking a scientist to work in the NOAA Earth System
Research Laboratory/Physical Sciences Division (PSD) to develop the
next-generation of retrospective climate analyses (“reanalyses”) from the
19th to 21st centuries and to diagnose and improve the atmospheric,
oceanic, and coupled general circulation models (GCMs) that are used to
generate reanalyses, forecasts, and climate predictions. This position is
located in Boulder, Colorado.

Responsibilities
The successful applicant would apply data assimilation and stochastic
theory, numerical modeling, and statistical methods to improve reanalysis,
weather forecasts, and climate forecasts. The applicant would be engaged in
the design of observing system and modeling experiments to diagnose model
and data assimilation errors and determine pathways for improvement. The
position involves working with a team of NOAA and University scientists
conducting research into data assimilation, reanalysis, and model diagnosis
and improvement. The scope of responsibilities includes testing existing
ensemble filter data assimilation algorithms, generating reanalyses back to
the 19th Century, diagnosing model and data assimilation errors, and
investigating improvements.

The applicant would be engaged in diagnosing global observational,
reanalysis, and forecast datasets; comparing reanalysis results with those
predicted by theory; and investigating pathways for improving data
assimilation algorithms and model formulation. The applicant would
contribute to overall activities to improve and extend atmospheric and
oceanic reanalysis and climate forecasts from the 19th to 21st centuries.


Please let me know of any questions.

best wishes,
gil compo
