We are looking for an enthusiastic, multi-talented individual to join our group. We need someone who can learn to install, troubleshoot, and maintain Linux systems with our extensive Python code base; is comfortable training marine technicians to operate UHDAS, and working with scientists to adapt UHDAS and CODAS to their needs; and is interested in traveling to ships in port and on short cruises for installation, maintenance, and training. The job will call on a wide range of skills: communication and working with a variety of people; technical proficiency with instrumentation, computers, and programming; and scientific sense in evaluating observations, from the raw data streams through the final product.
We have recently acquired funding to install and support UHDAS on much of the NOAA research fleet, so
Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) are used on research ships to measure ocean currents. During a cruise, the current observations may be used to locate features, or to aid in deploying over-the-side equipment; afterwards, they play a role in a wide range of applications, from climatological descriptions of ocean circulation to detailed process studies of current features (e.g., fronts, eddies) and phenomena (e.g., internal waves). Our group at the University of Hawaii has been involved with shipboard ADCPs for over 30 years. As developers of a widely-used open source, multi-platform shipboard ADCP processing system, (CODAS: http://currents.soest.hawaii.edu/docs/adcp_doc/index.html) we help scientists and technicians turn their raw ADCP and ancillary measurements into a science-worthy data product. Our acquisition system, UHDAS (http://currents.soest.hawaii.edu/docs/adcp_doc/UHDAS_atsea/index.html), is installed on most of the U.S. academic research vessels. It is designed to provide rapid access to the measurements at sea, and to facilitate subsequent processing and use of the data. UHDAS will now be installed on much of the NOAA research fleet, and we will support this effort. We are looking for a talented individual to

Dear Colleagues,
The Tropical Cyclone Research Laboratory (LACy) has an opening for a two-year postdoctoral position in the field of atmospheric science (hurricane modeling and forecasting) in R?union Island. The position is funded through the French ANR project ?SPICy?, which aims to develop a pre-operational forecasting system of coastal and inland floods during the approach and landfall of tropical cyclones. The work will be conducted at the French Weather Service (M?t?o-France) regional center in Saint-Denis de La R?union (Indian Ocean), France.
T he position is opened as of 1st MARCH 2015 . The deadline for receipt of applications is DECEMBER 15, 2014.
The successful applicant will develop NWP model configurations required to fulfill the objectives of the project. This includes:
- Producing ensemble forecasts of wind and pressure fields associated with tropical cyclones using the non-hydrostatic cloud research model M?so-NH (http://mesonh.aero.obs-mip.fr/).
- Participating to the development of the new operational, high resolution, NWP model ?Arome-Indian? that will be deployed in 2016 by the French Weather Service for operational tropical cyclone forecast in the SW Indian Ocean basin. The hired individual will be, in particular, involved in the deployment and improvement of the 3DVAR mesoscale data assimilation scheme of the model (https://ams.confex.com/ams/31Hurr/webprogram/Paper244069.html).
The candidate should have a PhD in atmospheric or environmental sciences, with strong statistical and programming skills. Experience in mesoscale modeling would be considered as an important additional skill. The applicant must speak and write English fluently and have good communication skills and publication records. The post-doctorate will be recruited for 24 months with a net monthly salary comprised between 2000? and 2400?, commensurate with experience. This includes social services and health insurance.
Applications should be submitted by email to Olivier Bousquet (olivier.bousquet@meteo.fr) and Francois Bonnardot (francois.bonnardot@meteo.fr). Application material must include a CV, a statement of research interests, a list of publications and the contact details for at least two referees.
Please, forward this announcement to anybody who may be interested in this position.
Best regards,
Olivier Bousquet
