Research Associate (Research Scientist) in Ensemble Forecast Tools for Heavy Precipitation

The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder is seeking a Research Associate (Research Scientist) to generate real-time ensemble cluster and sensitivity analysis tools from ensemble forecast datasets related to heavy precipitation, temperature, and other mesoscale variables of interest to the Weather Prediction Center (WPC) for use by operational forecasters within the National Weather Service (NWS). The Research Scientist will serve as principal investigator for a funded project, lead projects focused on these forecast tools and analysis techniques through the research to operations (R2O) lifecycle, and develop training materials for probabilistic forecast tools. This role involves collaborating with Federal WPC staff, NOAA scientists and forecasters, and external partners, and assisting with ensemble post-processing workflows for NOAA Testbed experiments.
