Toronto, Canada: pressureNET atmospheric modeller About us: We collect about 1 million measurements of the atmosphere every day from Android smartphones. We're specifically collecting barometric pressure for use in new weather models: models that you will build, models that will produce higher accuracy and higher resolution weather forecasts than anyone has ever made. The position: Cliff Mass and his team [1] have done some preliminary research and testing of models. You will bring these into our company and begin running them in real-time to forecast weather events. You must be familiar with WRF and FORTRAN and have a degree in Atmospheric Science or a related field. You can learn more about our atmosphere platform (and even get an API key to start early) at http://pressurenet.io. You will be employee #1. Stock options and compensation to be discussed.
