Job Summary
NREL provides the Department of Energy, Federal Agencies, and third parties with support in understanding the temporal and spatial variability of renewable energy resources, generation, and loads, today and in the future. Because of the expansion of grid integration activities, and the need for ever more data on solar energy resources, there is a need for a scientist with knowledge of solar irradiance modeling and forecasting, and utility-scale grid operations. This scientist should be capable of working with a wide range of partners within NREL and within the weather and energy communities. Initially this scientist is expected to work with supervision but is expected to rapidly grow to lead NREL's solar forecasting activities, and develop a position of leadership within the solar energy community in this role.
The ideal candidate will be able to develop and apply a range of techniques to validate solar irradiance and solar energy forecasts in support of DOE SuNLaMP and Grid Modernization Lab Consortium projects. The techniques will be implemented in Python for inclusion in NREL's validation suite.

The Postdoctoral Research Associate - Terrestrial Ecosystems Modeling and Analysis
( NB50601782 ) position has been
posted internally and externally through 1/31/2017.
A postdoctoral position is available in the Environmental
Sciences Division (ESD) and Climate Change Science Institute (CCSI) at Oak
Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The successful candidate will be
expected to use
multiple estimates from observed vegetation and soil fluxes and states to
constrain and improve the GPP and carbon allocation scheme in the land
component of DOE-sponsored Accelerated Climate Modeling for Energy (ACME
Land
Model - ALM). The UQ methodology will be employed to identify and reduce
various
uncertainties associated with the ALM structure, internal parameters and
external
drivers. With the updated ALM together with other modeling efforts and
experimental campaigns from the DOE NGEE-Tropics project, the postdoctoral
candidate
will also be responsible for investigating the response mechanisms of
tropical rainforests
to droughts and ENSO events.
The selected candidate will have one or more of the
following attributes: (a) a background in land surface model simulation,
evaluation
and development; (b) strong experience in assembling and diagnosing large
models
and observational datasets; (c) and strong programing skills in at least
one of
Fortran, R, Matlab, NCL or Python. The applicant should have a Ph.D. in an
appropriate
field (e.g., Atmospheric Science, Ecology, Geography or related area) at
the
time of appointment. The candidate should also have a strong interest in
collaborative research with a team of modelers and experimentalists. For
more
information about this position, please
contact Dr. Jiafu Mao (maoj@ornl.gov).

Climate Extremes Analyst
Environment and Climate Change Canada - Climate Data and Analysis
Section, Toronto (Ontario)
PC-03 Indeterminate
Closing date: 15 November 2016 - 23:59, Pacific Time
A physical scientist (PC-03) position is available in Climate Research
Division (CRD) for a highly qualified individual to undertake applied
research on climate variability and extremes, focusing in particular on
supporting efforts to develop climate-resilient codes and standards, and
the tailoring of climate information for engineering and infrastructure
design. The position will also involve a strong liaison role with groups
such as Standards Canada, National Research Council Canada, and other
federal departments, as well as the ability to consult with scientists
both within and outside CRD on the state of the science around climate
extremes. Research will be performed in close collaboration with
scientists at CRD, universities, regional climate consortia, and
national institutions. Specific objectives of the position will include
research on historical estimation and projection of changes in rainfall
intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves, probable maximum
precipitation, and other precipitation extremes, as well as climate
design data for building codes. The work will involve manipulation of
large volumes of observed and climate model data, as well as development
and use of advanced statistical and mathematical methods to analyze
data. The incumbent will be expected to be able to communicate applied

* Experience working with an interdisciplinary team of researchers or
support staff in a leadership role.
* Experience communicating scientific findings to the climate impacts
and adaptation community, both orally and in writing.
Other qualifications:
* Graduation with a graduate degree (Master's or Ph.D.) from a
recognized post-secondary institution with acceptable specialization in
one or more of: the study of climate extremes represented in climate
observations or global and/or regional climate models, evaluation of
climate models, or the study of extreme precipitation.
* Experience working directly with the climate change impacts and
adaptation community, professional engineers, regional climate
consortia, or other relevant stakeholders in Canada on projects related
to climate change and precipitation.
* Occasional requirement to travel
Essential for the job:
* English essential
* Knowledge of atmospheric climate science, with an emphasis on climate
variability and extremes.
* Knowledge of how climate data, scenarios, and information is used
within the climate impacts and adaptation community to support impacts

curves and probable maximum precipitation).
* Knowledge of statistical and mathematical methods for climate
analysis, especially for analysis of extremes.
* Ability to program using R and Python.
* Ability to work in the Unix shell, especially in a cluster computing
environment
* Effective interpersonal skills
* Judgment
* Initiative
May be needed for the job:
* Knowledge of the Government of Canada's priorities with respect to
