Specialist in Earth System Modeling at UC Irvine. Posted March 1, 2004.

The Department of Earth System Science (ESS) at UC Irvine seeks a
permanent half- to full-time scientific programmer with enthusiasm
for applying advanced computing techniques to global environmental
problems. 
The programmer will conduct interdisciplinary coupled model
simulations at the newly established Earth System Modeling Facility
(www.ess.uci.edu/esmf). 
The ESMF is a collaborative faculty effort to develop and apply
sophisticated numerical models of the Earth system to improve 
understanding of physical, hydrological, chemical, and biogeochemical  
interactions in the climate system.  
ESMF facilities include an eight node, 88-CPU, IBM p655/p690
supercomputer with 32 TB disk.  
As lead scientific programmer, you will couple physical models, run
simulations, analyze and visualize large geophysical datasets.

Required:
MS or equivalent experience in computer science, atmospheric
science, chemistry, engineering, or related field.  
Strong skills in Fortran9X and/or C/C++.
Skill in software development (e.g., CVS, Make).
Familiarity with analysis and visualization of large geophysical datasets. 
Experience with numerical models on UNIX computers.

Desired:
Knowledge of geophysical data visualization and analysis software
(e.g., IDL, NCL, Matlab, Perl, or Python), data storage standards
(e.g., netCDF, HDF), parallel programming techniques and message
passing (e.g., OpenMP, MPI).

Consideration of applications begins June 1, 2004 and continues
until the position is filled.
Minimum annual full-time salary is 0,000 and includes a full
benefits package. 
Applicants, send PDF-format statement of career objectives, CV, and 
names of three references to: 
Professor Charlie Zender (zender@uci.edu), 
Earth System Science Dept., 
University of California,
Irvine, CA, 92697-3100 USA.

Competitive applicants must complete a programming skills assessment.
