Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is currently seeking candidates to fill a senior applications analyst position as part of a new concerted effort for theoretical understanding, development, and evaluation of parameterizations of the fast physics processes in global climate models. This new effort is jointly supported by the DOE Climate Change Prediction Program (CCPP), Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) and Atmospheric Science (ASP) programs. The successful candidate will join a research team that consists of a consortium of leading investigators from multiple institutions.

The analyst will assist in scientific data analysis and the development of data products for use in testing and evaluating atmospheric models. Responsibilities will include writing data processing and analysis codes and developing tools for the management of large data sets from models, satellite, and surface sensors.

The successful candidate must possess a bachelor’s degree or have equivalent experience. Experience in Linux/UNIX, solid programming skills in at least one high-level language (C, C++, and/or FORTRAN), and good organization, problem solving, and communications skills are essential. Familiarity with IDL or Matlab is strongly desired, as is experience with analysis and graphical rendering of scientific data. Experience with ARM datastreams is a plus. Experience writing automated scripts in Perl and/or shell scripting languages is preferred; demonstrated knowledge of HTML, Java, and/or database management skills is considered a plus. A background in atmospheric or other related physical sciences would be extremely beneficial.
