The duties of a Research Officer include –

• (a)research and develop post-processing techniques to incorporate real-time observational data for sub-hectometer resolution forecast generation;
• (b)implement rapid update cycling and machine learning-enhanced data assimilation systems into the existing WRF model framework;
• (c)verify and validate forecast results against independent observations, assessing accuracy, reliability, and computational efficiency to ensure operational readiness; and
• (d)prepare and deliver comprehensive reports, technical documentation, system operation manuals, etc.

Candidates should –

• (a)have a Hong Kong degree in Physical Science, Physics, Mathematics, Meteorology, Computer Science, Nuclear Science, Electronic Engineering, or equivalent;
• (b)have met the language proficiency requirements of Level 2 or above in Chinese Language and English Language in the HKDSEE or HKCEE, or equivalent [see Note]; and
• (c)have at least 12 months of working experience in big data analysis OR have completed a post-graduate programme which included research on areas related to big data analysis.

Relevant experience in data assimilation, forecast post-processing and machine learning techniques is an advantage.
