With funding from National Science Foundation’s Office of Polar Programs [NSF OPP], National Center for Atmospheric Research is organizing a 1-week long CESM Polar Modeling Workshop August 13-17, 2018 in Boulder, C olorado at the National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesa Labor atory. The website is here: http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/events/workshops/2018PMWS/

< p>The workshop will target ~15 early career (graduate student, postdoc, < ; 7 years since Ph.D.) polar scientists to attend. All workshop activities will focus on the Community Earth System Model and high performance computi ng supported by the National Science Foundation [NSF] at the NCAR-Wyoming S upercomputing Center [NWSC]. CESM Polar Modeling Workshop participants will gain hands-on experience planning, designing, executing, and analyzing ear th system modeling experiments using high-performance supercomputing. Parti cipants will engage in advanced activities focused specifically on capacity building for using CESM in polar research (e.g., sea ice, land ice, atmosp here, ocean, land, paleoclimate). The CESM Polar Modeling Workshop will fol low directly from the Annual CESM Tutorial held August 6-10, 2018. Prospect ive participants who have not attended the CESM Tutorial should apply for b oth the CESM Tutorial and the CESM Polar Modeling workshop. Prospective par ticipants who have previously attended the CESM Tutorial (or have equivalen t experience) should apply for just the CESM Polar Modeling Workshop.

All US-based participant expenses will be paid by the organizers (includin g travel to and local expenses in Boulder, Colorado).

For the applica tion process - We request the following three [3] documents be e-mailed to me (Professor Jennifer Kay This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript e nabled to view it.) by *March 9, 2018*: [1] CV listing res earch experience, programming experience, research presentations, and peer- reviewed publications, [2] Recommendation letter from a faculty member or r esearch scientist at a US institution, [3] 1-page cover letter indicating w hy you would like to attend the CESM Polar Modeling Workshop. Topics to inc orporate into the cover letter include your research interests, what skills and topics you would find most beneficial at the tutorial, and the influen ce that attending such a tutorial might have on your scientific capacity bo th today and over the next 5-10 years.
