2. Faculty Position in Lightning Physics, Department of Physics and Space Sciences, Florida Tech.

The Department of Physics and Space Sciences at Florida Institute of Technology invites applications for a permanent faculty position in the electrical properties of thunderstorms, lightning, and the effects of thunderstorms in the near-earth space environment. This position is at the rank of assistant or associate professor, but higher ranks may be considered for senior or well-established candidates. Outstanding applicants from all research fields of atmospheric and space electricity will be considered, and candidates with prior experience in modeling, algorithm development, lightning and atmospheric data analysis, hardware development, instrumentation, field measurements, and optical and X-ray imaging are particularly encouraged to apply.

Candidates with a background in atmospheric sciences, radio science, remote sensing, or laboratory transient electrical discharges are also encouraged to apply. While we are particularly interested in candidates who can strengthen and develop our world-class research program, a strong commitment to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels is also required.

6. Tenure track Assistant Professor in Petrological Earth Processes (211-0449)

We seek a scientist with considerable field experience from either volcanic or metamorphic terranes and with insight into current analytical methods for mineralogical, elemental and radiogenic isotope analysis of rocks for tracing and geochronological purposes. We expect the candidate to also combine field observations with petrographic, geochemical and isotope methods to address geological problems related either to the composition and temperature of the mantle sources for magma and the interaction between the major mantle and crustal reservoirs of the Earth and/or with the application of modern petrographic, geochemical and geochronological methods to constrain uplift, cooling and deformational histories in, for example, pressure-temperature-time scenarios. The ideal candidate is expected to establish a research platform in igneous and/or metamorphic geology in particular. The candidate should continue our strong tradition for investigating the mineralogy and trace element and isotope geochemistry and petrology of magmatic/volcanic rocks at the department and ideally complement this with respective facets of metamorphic and/or economic geology.

7. Data Science Postdoctoral Fellowships

The program recognizes that rapid advances in our ability to acquire and generate data are transforming all fields of discovery from “data-poor” to “data-rich.” A significant bottleneck to discovery is our ability to perform inference over heterogeneous, noisy, and often massive datasets.

There are two funding pathways for Data Science postdoctoral fellowships:

1. Most of our postdoctoral fellows are funded jointly by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and the Washington Research Foundation.

2. There is also the possibility of co-funding between two WRF-funded institutes. Candidates interested in joint WRF appointments should complete the full application process for both institutes. In addition, the applicant should include a paragraph that clearly indicates the rationale and fit of a joint appointment.

8. Computational Scientist

CyberData supports the National Weather Service (NWS) and its mission to provide weather data, forecasts, and warnings for the United States. Television weather forecasters and private meteorology companies prepare their forecasts using this information. The NWS is the sole United States official voice for issuing warnings during life threatening weather situations. The Office of Water Prediction (OWP) is a geographically distributed organization under the NWS, which includes elements in Alabama, Maryland, and Minnesota. The OWP collaboratively researches, develops and delivers state-of-the-science national hydrologic analyses, forecast information, data, decision-support services and guidance to support and inform essential emergency services and water management decisions. In partnership with NWS national, regional, and local offices, the OWP coordinates, integrates and supports consistent water prediction activities from global to local levels.

Candidate will work with the OWP domain scientists to transfers scientific advances in the areas of hydrology, hydrometeorology, and hydraulics from the research arena into operational software applications. Work primarily involves translating complex scientific algorithms into robust software elements, mathematical modeling, numerical analysis, algorithm development, software implementation, program execution, analysis, validation and visualization of results.
