[ES_JOBS_NET] Environmental Data Science Postdoc Jobs at Berkeley Lab

[Charuleka Varadharajan]

Hi

We have openings for two postdoc positions at Berkeley Lab to work on
environmental data science/data management. Please see the descriptions
below and forward to anyone who might be interested.

Thanks
Charuleka Varadharajan

*Position 1: Environmental Data Science Fellow*
The Berkeley Lab’s Energy Geosciences Division
<https://eesa.lbl.gov/our-divisions/energy-geosciences/> has an exciting
opportunity for an Environmental Data Science Postdoctoral Fellow to
investigate the impacts of streamflow disturbances, such as floods or
droughts, on water quality in different river corridors of the United
States.

In this role, you will be responsible for integrating large temporal and
spatial datasets, conducting analysis using statistical, wavelet, pattern
recognition techniques, and implementing predictive machine-learning
models.

What You Will Do:

   -

   Develop and implement algorithms and data processing methods for
   repeatable integration and QA/QC of diverse temporal and spatial datasets
   of river discharge, water quality, watershed characteristics obtained from
   several federal sources including the DOE, USGS, NOAA, USDA, EPA.
   -

   Analyze data and extract patterns using statistical, wavelet,
   classification, or other data mining methods.
   -

   Research and develop machine learning approaches for data-driven
   modeling of water quality.


We are seeking candidates with a strong background in Earth science
informatics, computational, or data sciences, with demonstrated experience
in data analysis and data-driven modeling.

*Position 2: Postdoc for ESS-DIVE Data Repository*
Berkeley Lab’s Earth and Environmental Sciences Area (EESA) has an opening
for a Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Environmental Systems Science Data
Infrastructure for a Virtual Ecosystem (ESS-DIVE) project. ESS-DIVE is a
DOE data repository that stores diverse datasets from terrestrial and
subsurface ecosystem research projects.

The postdoc will join the ESS-DIVE research and development team working on
community engagement, data standards and building tools for data use.

What You Will Do:

   - Research and provide recommendations on community standards for
   environmental data.
   - Work with the community to adopt existing standards or define new
   standards as needed.
   - Build file parsers, quality checkers and other tools to enable
   advanced search, integration and visualization of data submitted in
   standardized formats.
   - Collaborate extensively with the DOE Environmental Systems Science
   (ESS) research community.

We are seeking candidates with prior experience in data synthesis or
analysis, and strong communication skills.
