[ES_JOBS_NET] Scientific Programmer, Penn State, University Park

[Katerina Kostadinova]

Scientific Programmer

The Earth and Environmental Systems Institute (EESI, 
http://www.eesi.psu.edu) at The Pennsylvania State University invites 
applications for a non-tenure line, full-time Scientific Programmer 
position. Successful candidates will become part of a transdisciplinary 
research team working on Climate Risk Analysis (https://clima.psu.edu), 
Multisector Dynamics of Coupled Human and Earth Systems 
(https://pches.psu.edu), and Stakeholder-Engaged Decision Support 
(https://marisa.psu.edu) under support from sponsors including NSF, DOE, 
and NOAA. This deeply collaborative research environment provides 
participants with unique opportunities for research, education, 
cross-institution collaboration, and professional development.

The selected candidate will work with students, faculty, and 
postdoctoral researchers across multiple departments to develop 
modeling, data processing, visualization, decision analysis, and 
outreach tools for our integrated research efforts. Desired areas of 
expertise include developing and running Earth system, integrated 
assessment, agricultural, ecosystem, and hydrological models and/or 
their components; econometric analysis; geophysical and economic data 
visualization; model coupling and parallelization; statistical analysis 
of large datasets; and development of web-based, interactive tools. The 
primary languages used by the team include R, Python, Julia, Matlab, and 
GAMS; significant experience with model development and data analysis in 
one or more of these languages is essential. Experience working in 
high-performance computing environments (e.g. Linux clusters) and with 
additional relevant languages such as C/C++, Fortran, Javascript, or NCL 
is also desirable. Initial projects may include (but are not limited to) 
development of tools for model coupling, data format translation, 
multi-objective trade-off analysis, uncertainty quantification, 
deployment of large model ensembles, climate downscaling, and web 
delivery of climatic datasets. Candidates should have a Master’s degree 
or Ph.D. in a relevant field and a demonstrated record of achievement in 
scientific computing.
