About The Position
The Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) at Colorado State University (CSU) is seeking a full-time Research Scientist to conduct collaborative research with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) at the Global Systems Laboratory (GSL) in Boulder, CO. This position is within the NOAA/OAR/GSL Earth Prediction Advancement Division’s (EPAD) Fire Weather and Atmospheric Composition Branch (FWACB). CIRA is a research organization focused on interdisciplinary atmospheric sciences, partnering with NOAA, CSU, the State of Colorado, and the Nation. GSL is a federal laboratory providing environmental observation, prediction, computer, visualization, and information systems to the National Weather Service (NWS) and the nation. GSL is a leader in applied research and development of environmental data, models, products, and services. The FWACB has a history of developing regional and global aerosol and air quality forecast models, including WRF-Chem and the operational HRRR-Smoke model. Current efforts involve developing and testing new aerosol and fire weather forecasting models coupled to the Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS), specifically the cheMPAS-Fire model, for operational implementation.
Requirements
- Ph.D. in atmospheric science or related physical or environmental science discipline. Applicants must successfully complete their Ph.D. defense before the starting date.
- At least 3 years of experience with air quality models (e.g. WRF-Chem)
- Experience in modeling wildfires and smoke transport
- Experience in computer programming for model output and observational data analysis (especially Python or other language)
- Experience working with satellite data
- Excellent communication skills in English, as evidenced by a clear, concise cover letter.
Nice To Haves
- Ability to work both independently and in a team environment
- At least two first author publications in atmospheric sciences
Responsibilities
- Contribute to the connection of the CFBM to the MPAS-based UFS
- Conduct fire spread simulations with the cheMPAS-Fire model with CFBM for different wildfire cases
- Implement and test new parameterizations for gas/aerosol chemistry in the MPAS-based RRFS-Smoke and cheMPAS-Fire models
- Conduct fire emission inversions using ground-based and satellite observations of atmospheric constituents
- Evaluate the model simulations using atmospheric data from NOAA’s field campaigns, in-situ and remote sensing monitoring networks and satellites (e.g. TEMPO, PACE)
- Participate in developer meetings, contribute to project reports, and assist stakeholders
- Present research findings in peer-reviewed publications and conferences
Benefits
- Robust benefits package
- Collaborative atmosphere
- Focus on work-life balance
