Description of Work Unit 	

Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory
Colorado State University

Position Summary 	

TheUSDAUV-B Monitoring and Research Program (UVMRP) at the Natural 
Resource Ecology Laboratory, Colorado State University seeks a full-time 
Research Scientist I. The successful applicant will join a team of 
engineers, programmers and scientists and conduct research related to 
the levels of solar UV irradiance reaching the Earth’s surface. This 
position is supported by aUSDAgrant that funds theUVMRPand operation of 
a UV and visible radiation monitoring network that collects direct, 
diffuse and total solar radiation at 40 locations in the US, Canada and 
New Zealand.

This long-term program has been running for over 20 years. Funding of 
the position is dependent upon continued federal support that is renewed 
on an annual basis. The position will be filled at the RS-I level with a 
salary in the range of $50,000 to $63,000 per year with benefits. Start

profession and/or diversity/inclusion activities.

Required Job Qualifications 	

The successful candidate must have earned a Ph.D. degree in Atmospheric 
Science, Applied Physics, Mathematics or a related discipline with 
expertise in the transfer of solar radiation in the atmosphere and/or 
the remote sensing of atmospheric parameters influencing the amount of 
solar radiation reaching the Earth’s surface. An applicant with an MS 
and at least five years of experience as part of a research team with a 
demonstrated record of research in the relevant areas will also be 
considered. Proficiency in one or more of the common programming 
languages such asFORTRAN, C, C++,IDL, orMATLABis required.

Preferred Job Qualifications 	

The applicant should understand important processes affecting the 
transfer of solar radiation in the atmosphere although previous work in 
the UV portion of the spectrum is not required. A familiarity with 
radiation transport models is desirable as well as a basic understanding 
of the role of radiation in climate change scenarios. A background that 
includes the inference of surface solar irradiance from satellite 
observations is preferred as well as familiarity with the measurement of 
surface solar radiation. Understanding of model validation, data 
assimilation, relational data bases, and system analyses; as well as 
familiarity with radiation detectors and excellent written communication 
skills are desired.

Diversity Statement 	

Personal and professional commitment to diversity as demonstrated by 
involvement in teaching, research, creative activity, service to the 
profession and/or diversity/inclusion activities.
