The Research Program delivers world-class research aligned with the Bureau Strategy and R&D Plan enabling the Bureau to deliver better weather, water, climate, oceans and earth system predictions information and insights and innovations.
This position is embedded in the Forecast Innovation team within the Research Program, where the occupant will be a member of a team of scientists and software developers. The Forecast Innovation team is providing numerical weather prediction model post-processing capability with focal areas including thunderstorms, public weather and volcanic ash. This position is intended to widen the aviation industry-relevant research and development activities in the team to include airframe icing and turbulence primarily based on numerical and machine learning model outputs.
This position involves working as a team member to deliver enhanced products for operational aviation meteorologists at the Bureau and to aviation industry customers. It will involve developing shorter-range (out to ~1 day) forecasts of the deep convection, turbulence and airframe icing potential that is hazardous to aviation operations. The upgraded or new products resulting from this work will support the Bureau's aviation hazard forecasters and their customers. The candidate will work closely within a project team comprising aviation forecasters, satellite, verification and data scientists to develop new automated, probabilistic and scenario-based aviation forecasting services.
The successful applicant should have demonstrated knowledge or experience in one or more of the following areas:
* The capability to develop and verify techniques to conduct short-term forecasting of aviation relevant turbulence and icing using numerical weather prediction and machine learning models.
* The ability to nowcast turbulence and icing based on satellite observations and other observational datasets (e.g., radar) is desirable but less relevant than the model-based skills listed above.
You will be expected to have teamwork and leadership skills appropriate to the Bureau Broadband 3 (APS6/EL1) level in the Australian Government Public Service's Integrated Leadership System.
