Research Associate in Flood Forecasting and Hydrologic Modeling

The Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies (CIWRO) at the University of Oklahoma is seeking a Research Associate to advance flash-flood prediction systems. This position centers on integrating the Warn-On-Forecast System (WoFS), a state-of-the-art convection-allowing numerical weather prediction model, with FLASH operational flash-flood prediction tools. The role bridges advanced atmospheric modeling and applied hydrology, offering a unique opportunity for researchers passionate about hydrologic forecasting, numerical weather prediction, extreme-event modeling, and operational decision-support systems. The research group is led by Professor Fatemeh Ghezelsofla from the University of Maryland, with the position based at the University of Oklahoma. The opportunity is ideal for candidates interested in environmental science, earth science, and the application of advanced modeling techniques to real-world flood forecasting challenges. While specific funding details are not provided, the position is research-focused and may offer competitive compensation as per institutional norms. Applicants should have relevant research experience in hydrologic forecasting, numerical weather prediction, or related fields.
