18.) Stochastic Modeler and Decision Support Analyst, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Lexington, MA
The Weather Sensing Group develops sensors, automated forecasting systems, and decision-support tools to reduce the impact of adverse weather on commercial aviation. To accomplish this, the group combines MIT Lincoln Laboratory expertise in innovative signal, image, and sensor data-fusion processing with physical insights furnished by staff meteorologists. Key accomplishments have included the development of the FAA's Terminal Doppler Weather Radar, ASR-9 Weather Systems Processor, Integrated Terminal Weather Systems, and Corridor Integrated Weather System.
An applied mathematician, engineer or operations research scientist is needed to develop stochastic models for the incorporation of uncertainty and risk management in weather-aware decision support systems for air traffic management. Research involves the analysis of the spatial and temporal characteristics of weather forecasts and forecast errors and translating that information into explicit estimates of the errors in weather impacts on the ATC system (e.g., route blockage and sector capacity).
Requirements:
PhD in Applied Mathematics, Operations Research or Engineering is required. In lieu of a PhD, an MS with 5 years of directly related experience will be considered. Creativity, flexibility, strong interest in weather and air traffic operations and ability to work as part of a small research team are critical, as this is a relatively new field of research. Experience utilizing stochastic modeling in real world applications and in estimating parameters of a stochastic process from experimental data is highly desired. Knowledge of stochastic processes, quantitative risk analysis and probabilistic decision making are required.
