Coastal Wave-Flow Model Developer
Understanding our oceans, coasts, climate and atmosphere is fundamental to Australia's sustainable development and prosperity. CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere undertakes science to ensure a healthy coastal and marine ecosystem and atmospheric environment now and into the future.
Working closely with Coastal Ocean Model Developers, the Coastal Wave-Flow Model Developer role requires an experienced wave modeler who understands the physics and numerics of wave models such as SWAN or Wave Watch III (WW3), and has highly-advanced model development and scientific programming skills to enhance, optimise and consolidate a third-generation spectral wave model within CSIRO Ocean and Atmosphere’s Environmental Modelling Suite (EMS, https://research.csiro.au/cem/software/ems/).
The position will work towards capitalizing on the two-way wave and circulation coupling within the EMS hydrodynamic core (COMPAS, https://research.csiro.au/cem/software/ems/hydro/unstructured-compas/) to improve wave-circulation and boundary layer processes. COMPAS operates on an unstructured mesh, and while two-way wave coupling has been accomplished (e.g. enhanced bottom drag, vertical mixing and radiation stress gradient/wave force), it would benefit from further development, potentially using spectral wave quantities rather than peak or mean aggregates, and selection of default turbulent process schemes.
Location: Hobart, Melbourne, Perth, Canberra (Hobart or Melbourne preferred)
Salary: AU$85k – AU$96k plus up to 15.4% superannuation
