Ocean Associates Inc. (OAI), together with our teaming partner, IBSS, seeks full-time Coastal Modelers to support National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) in Silver Spring, MD. CO-OPS is the authoritative source for accurate, reliable, and timely tides, water levels, currents, and other coastal oceanographic and meteorological information. If you are looking to be an instrumental part of a growing, employee and customer-focused company working on exciting issues in environmental science and other marine/coastal resources, we want to hear from you!

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist CO-OPS with the transition and implementation of new hydrodynamic coastal models, coastal model upgrades, and new modeling capabilities (e.g., data assimilation or coastal coupling) in the supercomputing environment at NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Prediction, where NOS operational forecast systems are run.
• Support the development, analysis, and implementation of a new coastal model along the East and Gulf Coasts.
• Couple coastal models with riverine models, or improving existing coastal models.
• Analyze the output from coastal models (those in operation or development) to assess the skill of the nowcast and forecast guidance.
• Evaluate model predictions against observations, or assess the integration of model output with other products and services.

Salary: Full-time. Pay commensurate with experience. Generous employee benefits.
