Job description
The Cooperative Institute for Analysis in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) on the College of Colorado Boulder has a right away opening for a Skilled Analysis Assistant to help NOAA’s Nationwide Facilities for Environmental Info’s (NCEI) work with NOAA’s area climate satellite tv for pc information and devices. The House Climate Workforce inside NCEI is liable for supporting NOAA’s area climate mission and for making certain the operational and scientific utility of NOAA’s area environmental information. NOAA’s subsequent technology spacecraft, together with Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite tv for pc Sequence-R (GOES-R) and House Climate Observe-On (SWFO), incorporate a complementary suite of devices to watch the native area surroundings and the solar.
The chosen candidate will develop software program to investigate instrument efficiency and to create area climate information merchandise to contribute to the general success of the GOES-R area climate mission as a member of the NCEI House Climate Workforce. They might additionally help the area climate software program growth group to implement real-time information processing or retrospective reprocessing software program. Candidates can even have alternatives to help NCEI’s new initiative to develop machine studying options to information evaluation challenges together with large information initiatives. Candidates for this place should possess glorious software program growth abilities and a demonstrated background in scientific information evaluation. Candidates must also possess sturdy consideration to element, glorious communication abilities, and the flexibility to translate scientific necessities and findings into traceable/actionable duties. This place is situated within the Photo voltaic Terrestrial Physics Part inside NCEI on the David Skaggs Analysis Middle, 325 Broadway, Boulder, CO. This place can accommodate a hybrid work modality.
The College of Colorado Boulder is dedicated to constructing a culturally numerous group of school, workers, and college students devoted to contributing to an inclusive campus surroundings. We’re an Equal Alternative employer, together with veterans and people with disabilities.
The Cooperative Institute for Analysis in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) is an internationally acknowledged chief in revolutionary environmental science and analysis and is situated on the College of Colorado Boulder. At CIRES, greater than 800 environmental science professionals work to know the dynamic Earth system, together with folks’s relationship with the planet. CIRES has partnered with NOAA since 1967, and our areas of experience embody climate and local weather, modifications at Earth’s poles, air high quality and atmospheric chemistry, water sources, strong Earth sciences, and extra. Our imaginative and prescient is to be instrumental in making certain a sustainable future surroundings by advancing scientific and societal understanding of the Earth system.
The NCEI-STP area climate group is liable for oversight of the NOAA area climate sensors on a number of satellite tv for pc constellations, together with GOES, DSCOVR, and SWFO. These missions present information essential for NOAA’s Nationwide Climate Service (NWS) House Climate Prediction Middle (SWPC) efforts to guard life and property, in addition to to the broader scientific group. The area climate group’s tasks embody calibration and validation of area climate measurements and information merchandise, growth of scientific processing algorithms utilized in actual time to provide information for forecasters, growth of retrospective algorithms to create scientifically authoritative (‘greatest’) merchandise, and prototyping real-time processing techniques.
