Job description
The Division of Atmospheric Science on the College of Wyoming is looking for functions for two Analysis Scientists to help the College of Wyoming King Air (UWKA) Facility’s Analysis Plane and improve airborne atmospheric analysis throughout the Facility. This world-class analysis facility is owned and operated by the College of Wyoming and funded by way of the Nationwide Science Basis’s Services for Atmospheric Analysis and Training (NSF-FARE) Program. These onsite positions will likely be accountable for supporting numerous elements of Facility airborne science together with plane instrumentation for atmospheric measurements, knowledge processing workflows and participation in airborne science missions as an plane scientific crew member.
The Subsequent Technology King Air plane (a Beechcraft King Air 350) is beneath growth as a part of a UW NSF-MSRI funded program and will likely be delivered to UW in summer season 2023. These positions are acknowledged as a Facility funding in scientific expertise. The profitable candidates will take part immediately in reworking the New Wyoming King Air right into a mission-ready observational platform designed to serve the atmospheric science analysis group because the pre-eminent small plane for atmospheric analysis and training.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
The profitable candidates will be part of a workforce of greater than a dozen scientists, engineers and operations personnel to help the mission of the UWKA facility for in-situ tropospheric measurements. They’ll lead the trouble for the preparation, deployment, operation, and future growth of the UWKA Facility, instrumentation and knowledge merchandise. Every place will likely be accountable for proudly owning a set of airborne atmospheric measurements (radiation, atmospheric state, wind and turbulence, cloud microphysics, and so on.) and function the subject material professional (SME) for instrument choice, software and knowledge evaluation of this group of measurements to satisfy Facility and PI/person targets. The SME can even be accountable for the operate, calibration and lifecycle alternative of their instrument group.
These positions will likely be accountable for working as a part of the science workforce accountable for the elemental atmospheric state parameters offered by the ability. This consists of performing knowledge high quality assurance checks and delivering high-quality scientific knowledge to customers of the Facility. They can even present steerage in using the plane to help science targets by way of intensive interplay with PIs and potential facility customers. The Analysis Science group throughout the Facility consists of people with a range of information in atmospheric measurements, cloud radar, lidar, knowledge processing, instrument integration and knowledge acquisition. Expertise with airborne analysis, flight-testing and/or in-situ instrument measurements is very desired however not required. Scientists have the chance to make use of plane and instrument knowledge to develop an unbiased analysis program and advance their very own scientific pursuits together with grants and publications, usually in collaboration with departmental college and exterior customers. These positions will likely be stuffed at both the Affiliate or Senior Analysis Scientist Stage, relying upon expertise. These are profession positions with alternatives for development throughout the facility. Relocation bills are negotiable.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
- M.S. or Ph.D. diploma in meteorology, atmospheric physics, engineering, geo-science, or intently associated subject. At the very least two years of related work expertise past an M.S diploma could substitute for a Ph.D.
- Legitimate driver’s license with a motorcar document (MVR) that’s compliant with the College Car Use Coverage.
- Elementary understanding of atmospheric processes within the planetary boundary layer and/or the free troposphere;
- Capacity and willingness to take part as an plane mission scientist and system operator throughout analysis flights, together with deployments (home and worldwide) away from Laramie, usually for 3-4 weeks, 1-2 instances per 12 months;
- Demonstrated expertise working with instrument/observational knowledge evaluation, knowledge processing to develop derived portions, knowledge high quality assurance and management (QA/QC), sign processing and/or observational knowledge interpretation;
- Demonstrated proficiency in widespread scientific programming languages akin to IDL, MATLAB, Python, C or comparable;
- Information and expertise with scientific knowledge codecs, akin to NetCDF, ICARTT, HDF5, GRIB;
- Capacity to work in a workforce and work together with people of numerous scientific, technical and cultural backgrounds;
- Robust oral and written communication expertise.
DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
Please think about making use of whatever the variety of “Desired {Qualifications}” you possess; we offer on-the-job coaching.
- Expertise with hands-on airborne atmospheric analysis, together with analysis flight planning, sampling methods, and/or taking part as scientific crew member on analysis plane;
- Demonstrated information of in-situ airborne atmospheric measurements with a basic understanding of knowledge processing for normal atmospheric state variables, together with platform movement/perspective corrections and georeferencing;
- Information and expertise with calibration, troubleshooting and operation of airborne devices, together with familiarity with customary laboratory calibration devices;
- Expertise in main or managing subject analysis initiatives;
- Expertise in creating software program functions for communication, visualization and/or interplay with scientific knowledge;
- Want to take part within the scientific enterprise, e., put together or contribute to peer-reviewed papers, proposals, and convention shows;
- Willingness to work with college and researchers on the event, enchancment, and use of superior devices and knowledge merchandise to check the environment;
- Primary climate evaluation expertise together with expertise in deciphering mannequin outputs and forecast merchandise;
- Information of aviation climate and plane operations.
