Description

　　SAIC is seeking an outstanding scientific programmer/analyst to manage and integrate physics parameterizations in the Common Community Physics Package (CCPP) for the Unified Forecast System (UFS). The CCPP-physics contains the parameterizations and suites that are used by the UFS applications. The candidate’s work will involve 1) managing CCPP-physics code repositories at NOAA’s Environmental Modeling Center (EMC), 2)

　　integrating new and updated physics parameterizations into the CCPP, 3) supporting the testing, debugging, evaluation and research-to-operation transition of physics parameterizations in the UFS applications, 4) participating in the development of community-based CCPP framework and

　　CCPP physics parameterizations and, 5) participating in the development of the UFS and ensuring the consistency between physics and dynamics and other components in the UFS.

　　Responsibilities:

　　The candidate will perform the job duties in an independent, collaborative and initiative way, applying innovative methods for the primary work areas, and collaborate with others to improve the performance of physics parameterizations in the UFS. The candidate will also work with external collaborators to develop and improve atmospheric physics parameterizations and accelerate research-to-operation transition processes.
