Job description
The Cooperative Institute for Analysis in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) on the College of Colorado Boulder has an instantaneous opening for a Photo voltaic Physics Analysis Scientist in photo voltaic working with NOAA’s Nationwide Facilities for Environmental Info’s (NCEI). The place focuses on work associated to the photo voltaic irradiance screens on the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites Collection-R (GOES-R). The GOES-R spacecraft every comprise a set of area climate sensors, together with the Excessive Ultraviolet and X-ray Irradiance Sensors (EXIS). The EXIS instrument measures each the X-ray photo voltaic irradiance which supplies the historic photo voltaic flare classifications with the X-ray Sensor (XRS), and the intense ultraviolet irradiance with the Excessive Ultraviolet Sensor (EUVS). As part of the NCEI photo voltaic irradiance group, the chosen candidate will work to enhance the in-flight calibration and validation of XRS and EUVS knowledge, develop knowledge instruments and merchandise for X-ray and ultraviolet time sequence datasets hosted at NCEI, and apply XRS and EUVS knowledge to scientific analysis, all in help of NOAA’s area climate forecasting operations and the scientific group. CIRES Analysis Associates could pursue exterior funding for complementary scientific or operational actions, though exterior funding will not be obligatory.
What Your Key Duties Will Be
- Develop and enhance calibration strategies for the EXIS devices in collaboration with the instrument vendor.
- Analyze intercalibrations between photo voltaic devices to validate knowledge, discover and resolve anomalies, and improve knowledge high quality.
- Take part within the improvement, implementation and upkeep of operational and scientific area climate merchandise.
- Work with the group to analysis and develop new strategies for real-time operations.
- Conduct analysis with photo voltaic irradiance knowledge and current leads to peer-reviewed publications and at scientific conferences.
- Analysis expertise in photo voltaic physics or area climate phenomena.
- Experience in analyzing and calibrating science datasets.
- Experience in scientific code improvement in languages together with Python and IDL.
- Experience in growing scientific algorithms.
- Wonderful oral and written communication expertise.
- Means to thrive each independently and as a part of a group.
- Means and want to contribute to an inclusive and collaborative group.
Please notice that whereas the place particulars each required and most popular expertise and expertise, we invite candidates to use even when they don’t have the popular expertise and expertise outlined on this “What We Would Like You To Have” part. For those who meet the necessities and have ardour for the work, you might be inspired to use. We encourage on-the-job coaching for any extra expertise or information that change into related to the place.
- Expertise with optical instrument design particularly for area analysis.
- Expertise growing or sustaining scientific knowledge calibration or evaluation pipelines, particularly in Python.
- Expertise utilizing photo voltaic knowledge evaluation instruments (e.g., SunPy or SolarSoft IDL).
- Familiarity with photo voltaic knowledge product design and software program finest practices.
- Expertise working with massive datasets.
- Familiarity with knowledge processing and storage for cloud-based purposes.
- Familiarity with area climate drivers, results, and forecasting methods.
- Expertise engaged on science spacecraft mission improvement and pre/post-launch checks.
The College of Colorado Boulder is dedicated to constructing a culturally numerous group of college, employees, and college students devoted to contributing to an inclusive campus setting. We’re an Equal Alternative employer, together with veterans and people with disabilities.
