Responsibilities


AGS supports fundamental research into the physical, chemical, and
biological processes that impact the composition and physical phenomena and
behavior of matter between the sun and the surface of the Earth. This
includes a wide variety of important processes that impact humans and
society, such as space weather, tropospheric weather, climate, and air
quality. Specific programs include studies of the physics, chemistry, and
dynamics of earth's upper and lower atmosphere and its space environment,
and research on climate processes and variations.

The AGS Science Analyst will primarily provide support for activities and
programs within the Division. In particular, the position holder will
develop and produce data analyses, reports and presentations that describe
the research and facilities supported by AGS and the outcomes of that
investment. This will aid in program and portfolio evaluation, inform
decisions made by Division management, and help engage AGS's many
stakeholders more effectively. The incumbent will also assist program
officers in the solicitation and merit review of proposals for NSF funding,
and the oversight of NSF awards. These tasks will involve frequent
interactions with staff throughout the Division and in other parts of NSF.

Major duties for the AGS Science Analyst include, but are not limited to,
the following:

*	As required by the Division Director, Sections Heads or Program
Directors, develop reports, studies, and analyses of research funded by the
Division and its outcomes.
*	Develop data-driven measures to aid in the evaluation of the impact
(scientific and technical, economic, or societal) of the AGS portfolio, in
the form of complex data and text analyses, performance metrics, and other
analytics, as needed. Identify, retrieve and examine pertinent textual
content and data. Validate results and analyses to ensure consistency and
quality control.
*	Create presentations, graphics, and other media highlighting AGS
programs and outcomes for a variety of internal and external audiences.
*	Work with AGS management and Program Directors to compile and
present information on program portfolios, metrics and outcomes that inform
expert assessment of the Division's program investments. Results of findings
may be used at meetings of Advisory Committees, Committees of Visitors, and
other internal and external fora.
*	Assist in the solicitation, merit review and award oversight
processes. This will include handling or re-directing questions from the
scientific community concerning AGS programs, identifying expert reviewers
and assisting with the management of proposal review panels.
