About this position
George Washington University and NIST are seeking a Senior Research Fellow in Convective Wind Hazards in Gaithersburg, Maryland, United States.
This opportunity is centered on meteorology, atmospheric science, wind hazard modeling, nonstationary modeling, climate change, and the integration of future convective wind hazards into building codes and engineering standards. The role aims to support next-generation building standards by developing methods and practices that account for changing atmospheric conditions, including downbursts and derechos.
The fellow will help finalize a research roadmap and state-of-the-art assessment for incorporating future wind hazards into design codes, develop advanced models for convective winds, identify research gaps, and define how future data should inform engineering tools. The post emphasizes collaboration across atmospheric science and engineering design, with impact on infrastructure resilience and community protection.
Eligibility highlights: a Ph.D. in Meteorology or a closely related atmospheric science field, at least 5 years of relevant experience in wind hazard modeling or forecasting, deep expertise in convective wind hazards and future climate conditions, a strong publication record, and the ability to work with multidisciplinary teams.
Funding: the post is for a Senior Research Fellow position; no stipend, salary, or tuition information is provided.
