• (November '09, expires when filled) Computer/Programmer Analyst, The Institute of Global Environment and Society, Calverton, MD
  The Institute of Global Environment and Society is seeking a full-time Computer Programmer/Analyst for the Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies (COLA).
  The incumbent will provide computational applications programming support for climate science projects aimed at the advancement of climate predictions through supercomputer simulations. Particularly, the candidate will help develop, tune and scale climate models that depend on high-performance parallel computing systems. The position requires a highly motivated individual with the ability to think strategically and work on multiple projects simultaneously. The initial appointment will be one year, with conditional extension of up to two years. Compensation is negotiable, commensurate with preparation and experience.
  Qualifications Required
  • B.S. in Computer Science or other closely related discipline
  • Excellent knowledge of Linux and UNIX
  • Working knowledge and proficiency in Fortran programming
  • Working knowledge of communication libraries MPI OpenMP, etc
  • Perl/Python/Shell scripting experience
  • Familiarity with high-performance file systems
  • (Desired) Experience in providing technical support in a scientific environment
  Please send your resume and contact information of three references to Cristina Stan . The position will remain open until filled, but applications received before 15 December will receive best consideration. COLA is located in the suburbs of Washington DC, together the Center for Research on Environmental and Water and the George Mason University Climate Dynamics Department, and is in close proximity to several federal labs and agencies. IGES is an equal opportunity employer.

Post Doctoral Fellowships

• (July '09, expires when filled) Climate Postdoctoral Fellowship, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA
  Opportunity to work as a postdoctoral fellow on a joint project with the Earth Sciences and Computational Research Divisions to improve models of the earth's climate. Statistical analyses of observed extreme weather will be compared to climate model simulations of the past and the future to ascertain and to improve credibility of extreme weather projections given climate changes.
