Analysis Scientist/Senior Analysis Scientist – Scientific Computing

Job Function

To conduct analysis and software program improvement associated to the numerical modelling of geologic, geomorphic, and local weather change processes within the Earth Methods Dynamics Analysis Group within the Faculty of Geographical and Earth Sciences. We search a broadly educated scientist or engineer with prior analysis expertise in process-based numerical modelling (e.g., thermal, mechanical, mass transport processes), together with, however not restricted to, purposes of the finite aspect, finite distinction, or management quantity strategies. Prior expertise in programming, Linux working system, shell scripting, cluster computing, mannequin/information evaluation, and publication in peer-review journals are fascinating. Individuals with backgrounds within the numerical modelling of geoscience or climatological processes, or physics, arithmetic, pc science or engineering are inspired to use. The candidate is predicted to develop a vibrant analysis profession inside the analysis group and contribute to the administration and administration of analysis group actions, sustained scholarly output, analysis grant acquisition, and scholar supervision. The individual will report back to Prof. Todd Ehlers. At Grade 7, prior postdoctoral expertise is related to the place. At Grade 8, demonstrated distinctive means in software program improvement, peer-review publication output, and exterior fundraising by means of analysis grants.

Most important Duties and Tasks

1. To make a number one contribution to the first analysis goals of the Earth System Dynamics analysis group. Main and supporting the event, software, and publication of numerical modelling software program and cluster computing.

2. To hold out unbiased analysis inside the scope of interactions between panorama evolution and local weather, tectonic, and biologic interactions.2.

3. To work independently on assigned initiatives and be accountable for delivering scientific software program, conducting mannequin simulations, analyzing mannequin outcomes, and making ready outcomes for publication.

4. To take accountability for implementing software program improvement and repository (archiving) procedures, and conducting mannequin simulations.
