| The successful candidate will contribute to advancing the understanding of cloud microphysics processes within tropical cyclone simulations in the Hurricane Analysis and Forecasting System (HAFS) modeling framework. The ideal candidate has experience working with HAFS and microphysics parameterizations in a numerical modeling context. Additionally, the project will employ machine learning techniques (specifically neural networks), so expertise or experience working with these systems is desirable. Experience with operational meteorology is a plus as well.
This is an exciting opportunity to work at the interface of dynamic weather modeling and artificial intelligence in an operationally relevant context.

| The successful candidate will contribute to advancing the science and prediction of Atlantic tropical cyclones on subseasonal timescales (2 weeks to 3 months). The project will focus on identifying and quantifying key sources of predictability—including climate modes of tropical variability such as the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO)—and leveraging statistical (e.g., Analog) and machine learning techniques (in particular neural networks), to develop subseasonal hurricane forecast models improve predictive models.
This is an exciting opportunity to work at the interface of climate science and artificial intelligence in an operationally relevant context.

| The Northern Gulf Institute (NGI) at Mississippi State University is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate to spearhead a large-scale marine biodiversity assessment project using environmental DNA (eDNA) collected across the global ocean through the Bio-GO-SHIP project. This position is based at NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) in Miami, Florida. The successful candidate will be at the forefront of this major initiative to generate and analyze metabarcoding data from thousands of marine water samples, significantly advancing our understanding of ocean life. This role involves extensive laboratory work in development of high-throughput metabarcoding assays; library preparation using those assays; bioinformatics data analysis, including taxonomic database improvement and the evaluation of novel assignment tools; and data publishing to global biodiversity repositories. This position offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with leading scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), University of California – Irvine, and the Minderoo Foundation, and to make foundational contributions to global marine biodiversity monitoring and open data infrastructure. |

| The principal function of the postdoc is to contribute to configuring an Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) water quality model for the South Florida region and use this model to simulate and analyze past and projected regional patterns, with a focus on net primary production and subsequent carbon transport and settlement rates in and out of Biscayne Bay. The outputs of the coastal model will be used to characterize climate change impacts on water quality and carbon transport in and out of the estuary. Addition to the modeling efforts, the position will also have the tasks of constructing literature reviews and providing carbon data input for NOAA databases. The postdoc will be based at the NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) in Miami, Florida. She/he will be part of a multidisciplinary team, which includes researchers at NOAA, Mississippi State University, University of Miami, University of South Florida, Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences, Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, and Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association. |
