Job description
Duties:
The College of Maryland/CISESS has a place open on the Put up-Doctoral/Assistant/Affiliate analysis scientist rank to assist the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) Sensor Information Document (SDR) Algorithm Calibration and Validation Science Group (ACVST) led by NOAA/NESDIS/STAR.
As a member of the CrIS SDR ACVST, the incumbent will develop instruments and carry out evaluation for the calibration and validation of the CrIS instrument. The CrIS sensor is a Fourier Remodel Spectrometer at present flying on-board the Suomi Nationwide Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP), NOAA-20, and not too long ago launched NOAA-21 spacecrafts, and deliberate for the JPSS-3 and -4 satellites. The CrIS SDR ACVST has the duty of the science algorithms for reworking the CrIS uncooked knowledge data (RDR) into top quality geolocated and calibrated radiance product known as the SDR. This place entails the participation in pre-launch and post-launch calibration and validation actions of CrIS observations.
Major Obligations:
- Develop, check and consider the totally different elements of the operational CrIS SDR calibration algorithm.
- Develop, enhance and implement methodologies for the radiometric, spectral, and geometric calibration and validation of CrIS observations.
- Examine, monitor and derive options for potential anomalies associated to CrIS devices.
- Help CrIS pre-launch and post-launch actions.
- Publishing analysis ends in peer-reviewed journals.
- Take part in technical conferences and conferences together with displays.
{Qualifications}:
Holding a few of the following {qualifications} is extremely desired:
- A Grasp’s diploma (Ph.D. most well-liked) in Atmospheric Sciences, Physics, Aerospace Engineering, Pc Science, Distant Sensing, Electrical Engineering, Sign Processing or a associated bodily science.
- Most popular expertise in a few of the following programming languages: Python, Matlab, IDL, C/C++, Fortran 90/95, Shell scripting.
- Expertise in Optics, equivalent to Interferometry.
- Expertise with Fourier Remodel Spectrometers.
- Expertise with Hyperspectral Infrared Observations.
- Expertise with Information Science methods equivalent to Machine Studying.
- Broad data of bodily foundation of distant sensing.
- Expertise with analyzing satellite tv for pc knowledge. Data and expertise with atmospheric sounding merchandise are a plus.
- Familiarity with radiative switch fashions, together with the LBLRTM and CRTM fashions.
- Familiarity with GitHub and GitLab.
- Expertise working in a Linux surroundings.
- Wonderful oral, written and interpersonal communication expertise.
- Means to work with others as a analysis workforce.
- Means to work in a culturally various surroundings.
To Apply: candidates ought to ship a CV with an inventory of at the very least 3 skilled references and a canopy letter explaining how your {qualifications} meet the posted necessities to pbeierle@umd.edu.
