NOAA/PMEL is part of the US Department of Commerce. PMEL's mission is to carryout out interdisciplinary scientific investigations in oceanography and atmospheric sciences, and is engaged in a broad range of studies involving ocean carbon research. The position is a research scientist who will provide scientific and technical leadership within PMEL's Coastal Carbon Processes Program, interacting with modelers and observationalists dedicated to the study of the carbon system. The candidate is expected to have an in-depth understanding of carbon measuring systems to enable the Laboratory to meet its goals for maintaining our ocean carbon observing systems as part of NOAA's Global Carbon Cycle (GCC) research program in the coastal waters around North America. He/She participates in conducting systematic research on the sources and sinks for anthropogenic carbon dioxide in the coastal oceans and investigates long range and short term problems, recommends solutions for problems of unusual difficulty related to oceanography, and presents results at national and international scientific meetings. This work must demonstrate specialized experience leading scientific expeditions devoted to interdisciplinary studies of the carbon system in the coastal oceans and skill working with large data sets to test biogeochemical models of oceanic processes.

We are seeking individuals with experience in regional climate modeling, including the procedures for coupling models of different system components (atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, land surface, hydrology) and with the implementaion of regional models in parallel computing environments on ARSC supercomputing systems. These positions will require experience in high performance computing (HPC), the use of pre-existing component models, and effective communication with (1) the providers of those component models (2) software support specialists of ARSC. Familiarity with processes pertaining to at least one component of the arctic system is desirable. This will be a terrific introduction to the research environment. The successful applicants will work with leading-edge researchers in IARC who are investigating the interdependence of arctic atmospheric, oceanic and terrestrial processes. We are building a fully coupled regional model of the arctic climate system and these Post-Doctoral Research Associates will work directly with coupling component models. The position will provide research and publication opportunities through experiments with the arctic system model in collaboration with IARC scientists and its international partners.
