Opportunities

The Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) at Colorado State University seeks to fill a professional scientific research position designed to conduct collaborative research with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) located at the Global Systems Laboratory (GSL) in Boulder, CO. The position will be for a meteorological software developer at NOAA/OAR/GSL Weather Informatics and Decision Support (WIDS) Division and Weather Information Systems Evolution Branch. Office will be in Boulder, CO at a federal building and requires the ability to pass a tier 1 federal background check. Onsite presence is desired for this position, but remote work will be considered.

The position will serve as a meteorological program developer at NOAA/OAR/GSL and will have direct interaction with scientists and developers within NOAA as well as partners outside of NOAA. This includes NCEP centers, NWS weather forecast offices, NOAA research facilities, academia, and the NWS Science and Operations Officer community.  Expertise in operational weather forecasting and decision support services will be applied to the development of software applications. 
The individual in this position will work in collaboration with other scientists and software developers as well as the broader community, designing, developing, testing and refining applications for operational weather entities. Development will initially occur within the Hazard Services framework in AWIPS II, but may also include other web-based platforms. The near focus will be on applications and extensions to services that support forecasting and warning services, as well as IDSS, for diverse phenomena such as tropical storms and associated storm surge, thunderstorms, winter storms, flooding, as well as new ground-breaking paradigms involving the incorporation of continuous and probabilistic information.
