The COSIM team seeks a staff scientist to work on a broad range of climate science activities in computational physics, computational science, high-performance computing, advanced programming models and analyses of coupled system dynamics. In terms of computational physics, we seek research proposals for the development of advanced algorithms to improve the fidelity, performance and portability of global ocean, sea-ice and land-ice models with a focus toward high-resolution, grand-challenge scale configurations. We also seek expertise and research proposals related to profiling and optimization of climate system models on DOE leadership-class computing facilities. Proposals are encouraged that develop and implement new programming paradigms to efficiently utilize emerging, exascale, heterogenous computing architectures. With respect to simulation analyses we encourage research proposals that lead to improved description, fidelity and understanding of high-resolution ocean, sea-ice, land-ice and/or coupled system dynamics. The MPAS-Ocean, MPAS-Sea-Ice and MPAS-Land-Ice models are components of the newly developed U.S. Department of Energy climate model, the Accelerated Climate Model for Energy (ACME). A particular focus of ACME is fully-coupled, global, high-resolution simulations of the Earth system relevant for energy and coastal impacts. Within this broad activity, the focus of Los Alamos National Laboratory is the role of ocean mesoscale eddies in the climate system, the role of the ocean and ice systems in the carbon cycle and the role of the ocean and ice systems in sea-level rise.
