Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Klima, Energi- og Forsyningsministeriet Full time

The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) is the national provider of meteorological services with a rich history. The institute serves Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands with forecasts, warnings, advice, and data to support society's robustness in weather- and climate-related phenomena.

At DMI, the Weather Research Department performs tasks within development and applied research to improve internal and external products and services. A new permanent position has been established within weather radar-based applications, research, and development.

Tasks
The successful applicant will work on radar applications in support of diverse tasks, including product development, data processing, and maintenance of services. They will collaborate closely with staff members of the radar research team at DMI and IT departments. The work environment operates across hardware platforms, software languages, large data sources, and parallel computing.

A core responsibility is to ensure proper operation of the process-chain from handling incoming data from DMI's five state-of-the-art dual-polarization weather radars through quality control and processing to generating operational radar products. Further, the applicant will aid in maintaining and developing the Danish radar network, installing and acquiring new radars, and communicating with suppliers and partners.

Key tasks include ensuring the proper distribution of radar data, products, and services. This involves thorough processing of existing and incoming data to ensure its quality and collaboration with other DMI research and IT departments to streamline synergies and data flows. Examples include collaborating with numerical weather prediction researchers and the hydrological team to enable seamless radar and model blending and model validation and hydrological forecasting.

Applicant Profile
The applicant's field of expertise lies within geophysical process understanding, radar and remote sensing technologies, and IT development and coding – with an analytical, curious, ambitious, research-oriented, and collaborative mindset. The radar products are already employed in various settings within DMI, but can be further exploited.

The successful applicant will have a strong background in IT capabilities across environments, including Unix, and coding languages. They will work in a research environment at DMI with expertise areas including numerical weather prediction, oceanographic modeling, hydrological forecasting, and applied machine learning. The work also involves on-duty meteorologists, IT experts, and policy aspects.

Qualification
We seek applicants with a high degree of programming and data processing skills within a geoscience context, preferably precipitation and weather radar remote sensing. We require candidates to clearly highlight their work experiences and skills in modeling, data processing, computational environments, software coding languages, research, and publications as well as educational grading sheets and certificates. Specifically, we seek:

  • MSc or PhD degree, preferably nested within earth sciences and computational science
  • Programming skills within a UNIX environment is necessary and experiences within e.g., Python, C, Git, bash/shell scripting, docker, and ansible are an advantage
  • Skills on machine learning, high-performance computing, forecasting, and model-data integration are an advantage
  • Good communication skills in both oral and written English
  • Capacity of, and desire to, working in a team together with a good team spirit

Research experience and a strong track record in peer-reviewed output is a clear advantage
