The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility is a U.S. Department of Energy scientific user facility for the study of global climate change by the national and international research community. ARM has fixed sites from the Arctic to the equator and mobile facilities that are deployed to a wide variety of locations and climates.

ARM has recently invested in a range of scanning radars, including those designed for mapping precipitating systems using 5- and 3-cm (C- and X-band) wavelength radiation. As part of ARM's mission to improve the representation of clouds in global climate and cloud-resolving models, Argonne National Laboratory has been taking the lead role in the development of value-added products from these radars. Argonne is now seeking a talented developer to work with the ARM Precipitation Radar Translator to develop the next-generation radar software architecture.

This new position will work with ARM stakeholders, other DOE laboratories, and the wider radar community to bring new and existing retrieval techniques into an open-source radar toolkit as optimized modules. While knowledge of remote sensing and radar retrieval techniques will be an asset, it is not a requirement for this position. What is a requirement is an ability to work on complex problems using modern software engineering techniques and a willingness to learn and grow as part of a multilaboratory program.

This position will be based at Argonne National Laboratory, a multidisciplinary laboratory in the Chicago suburbs. To apply please go to Advanced Algorithms Engineer at Argonne Careers.
