About this Opportunity

Possibility of extension subject to available funding.

ONC seeks an individual with a background in geophysics to join the Science
team. This new Junior Staff Scientist will primarily support projects
related to seismology, tectonics, and seafloor geodesy, as well as gas
hydrates, sea bed dynamics and geological storage of CO2. In particular,
the successful candidate will assist with managing the seismological data
acquisition, analyzing geophysical data streams, coordinating sensor tests
and calibrations, collating data sets, and supporting the scientific
community by organizing workshops and with generating publications and
proposals.

Job Summary

Within the Science Services department, itself a part of the User
Engagement Division, Junior Staff Scientists contribute to the execution of
science-based services as articulated in the Strategic Plan of ONC, in
which serving the research users and providing scientific solutions to
stakeholders are core mandates. The Junior Staff Scientist,
Geophysics,works with and reports to Senior Staff Scientist to facilitate
research support activities for ONC users and stakeholders, particularly
focusing on their respective area of competency. In conjunction with staff
from the ONC Data Team, the Junior Staff Scientists are responsible for
validating data quality through managing sample collection and analysis.
They are also responsible for ensuring users receive the data necessary to
support their research objectives. In this capacity, they may also be
responsible for collecting and transferring field samples to external
science users. Under the direction of the Staff Scientists, they assist
with multivariate earth-ocean data analysis.

The Junior Staff Scientist, Geophysics, will support the ONC Science team
in the geophysical programs in seismology, tectonics, seafloor geodesy as
well as gas hydrates, sea bed dynamics and geological storage of CO2. In
particular, they will assist with managing the seismological data
acquisition, analyzing geophysical data streams, coordinating sensor tests
and calibrations, collating data sets, and supporting the scientific
community by organizing workshops and with generating publications and
proposals.The Junior Staff Scientists also work with Data Team members to
assemble and publish observatory data sets. Junior Staff Scientists assist
in the planning and execution of annual maintenance expeditions and other
field-based activities as they relate to instrument preparation, data
integrity, and sample collection. Together with the other members of
Science Services, they also support workshops, conference presence and
other user engagement activities as required.

Job Requirements

The successful applicant will have a minimum of a Masters (M.Sc.) degree in
Marine Geophysics, including experience in seismometry, geodynamics, and/or
geodesy, with at least 2 years of relevant data analysis experience in an
observational, experimental, or modelling in Geophysical marine science
discipline. An equivalent combination of education, training, and work
experience may be considered where appropriate.

Essential qualifications include:

   - Oceanographic expedition experience, including collecting, processing,
   and analyzing samples at sea
   - Significant work experience using advanced programming environments
   (e.g. MATLAB, R, Python, or IDL) to analyze and integrate
   multi-dimensional, multi-variate data
   - Significant work experience in data visualization and the presentation
   of data analysis
   - Experience in producing accurate scientific communications, including
   peer-reviewed publications, conference abstracts and presentations, and
   summaries for broader audiences

In addition, the following attributes and experience are highly desirable:

   - Experience with modeling and computer simulation
   - Experience with web content management and web-based interactive
   collaboration environments
   - Experience with web-based data access technologies
   - Experience in organizing, running, and summarizing scientific workshops
   - Experience in preparing regular briefings and status reports
   - A sound reputation in the marine science community, either locally or
   nationally combined with data related marine science publications either as
   the lead or with a co-author.
