Computational / Geological Postdoctoral Fellow - 76060
Organization: ES-Earth Sciences
This postdoctoral fellow position is for a recent PhD graduate who is
interested in developing reduced order models for earth system models.
The successful candidate will work on a project titled ?Multiscale
reduced order models for integrated earth system models? funded by the
Department of Energy. He/She will combine multiple reduced order
modeling techniques from different disciplines and apply these
techniques to subsurface flow models and, subsequently, to other
submodels within the Community Land Model (CLM) and Community Earth
System Model (CESM). He/She will also develop methods to accurately
quantify the modeling errors and uncertainties of these reduced order
models, and study their impacts on uncertainty quantification.
The ideal candidate must have excellent knowledge in one or more of the
following areas: statistical techniques, model order reduction
techniques, Gaussian process regression and numerical land-surface
models. He/She should be familiar with Fortran or C++, and have
demonstrated ability to develop complex scientific codes. He/She must be
able to work independently with minimal supervision, and proactively
propose and test new ideas that are relevant to the project. Good oral
and written communication skills are expected.
Responsibilities:
?Develop new reduced order models for subsurface and land-surface
models.
?Quantify errors and uncertainties in the reduced order models.
?Develop a hierarchy of reduced order models and study the
propagation of modeling errors and uncertainties.
?Work with climate scientists to incorporate the models into CLM
and CESM.
?Author technical reports and peer-reviewed journal articles.
Qualifications:
?Doctoral degree in applied mathematics, earth sciences,
engineering or other relevant disciplines.
?Strong mathematical foundation in model order reduction techniques
and statistical modeling techniques such as Gaussian process regression.
?Ability to work with domain scientists to identify modeling
requirements and express these requirements mathematically.
?Programming experience in Fortran or C++.
?Familiar with subsurface modeling, CLM, and CESM.
?Has prior experience in the development of large-scale subsurface
flow simulators similar to pFLOTRAN, Amanzi or TOUGH.
?Motivated to work independently and contribute proactively to the
project.
?Capable of giving clear oral and written presentation of results.
NOTES: This is a 1-year term appointment with the possibility of
renewal for up to 5 years based upon satisfactory job performance,
continuing availability of funds, and ongoing operational needs. This
position requires completion of a background check. Salary for
post-doctoral positions depends on years of experience post-degree.
How To Apply
Apply directly online at <http://bit.ly/lbl76060ClimList> and follow the
on-line instructions to complete the application process.
Equal Employment Opportunity: Berkeley Lab is an affirmative
action/equal opportunity employer committed to the development of a
diverse workforce.

Environment Canada is seeking highly motivated and qualified scientists
to contribute to the development of coupled wave-ocean-atmosphere-ice
forecast.This is a challenging opportunityto work across several
disciplines. This is also a unique opportunityto carry out research in
an operational environment.
Essential Qualifications: A recent (i.e. less than 5 years) Ph.D. in
physical ocean sciences, atmospheric sciences, physics, mathematics or a
closely relatedfield is required. Experience in numerical modeling,
experience with data processing and analysis, and knowledge
ofprogramming (Fortran, UNIX environment) are also required.Demonstrated
ability to communicate results in the form of scholarlyarticles and the
ability to work in a collaborative team areessential.
Details: The successful candidate will be located at the RPN quarters of
Environment Canada (EC) in Montreal QC. Funding is available for at
least 2years pending satisfactory progression revision after 1 year. The
preferred start date is 1 April 2013. Salary in the range of $55-60k and
health coverage are guaranteed after the 3rd month of employment to the
end of the appointment.
Application: To apply, please send a cover letter explaining how you
meet the essential selection criteria, a curriculum vitae, together with
a list of publications, names of three persons who may act as
references, and a brief statement of research interest, to the address
below. Review of applications will begin 5 Sept. 2013 and will continue
until positions are filled.
