If necessary, UCAR/NCAR will sponsor a work visa (e.g., H1B, etc.) to fill this position.
IMPORTANT: Applicant must submit a cover letter addressing interests and qualifications pertaining to this position.
BASIC JOB FUNCTION :
This position will support two GFDL on-going projects: 1) An exploration of the intraseasonal to seasonal predictability of US landfall hurricanes using global high resolution climate models and 2) A NOAA CPO award co-led by UCLA and GFDL entitled "modulation of tropical cyclone activity over the Intra-Americas Sea by intraseasonal variability: Implications for dynamical TC prediction on intraseasonal time scales". The position is located at the NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), Princeton, New Jersey.
DUTIES INCLUDE :
Work with GFDL senior scientists to conduct retrospective seasonal forecast experiments using various configurations of the GFDL high resolution global climate models, and analyze (with GFDL and UCLA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (UCLA/JPL) scientists) the model and observation/reanalysis products to better understand the predictability of TC activity at intraseasonal to seasonal time scales. Results of the analysis of the models and products will be presented to GFDL scientists and management, and through publications and workshops.
Will publish scientific papers/reports and attend conferences/workshops to present results from this project.
