[ES_JOBS_NET] Oceanographic Data Specialist at University of Hawaii

[jules hummon]

This job posting has been extended, and now closes Nov 1, 2021


We're looking for someone who is comfortable in a Linux environment
and can do some Linux system administration, is self-motivated and
curious, has good people and communication skills (interacting with
the techs on the ships as well as the scientists who sail), and is
willing to move to Hawaii.  Experience with scientific programming in
Python is a big plus.

Background:

Our group has developed and maintains software ("UHDAS", written in C
and Python, running under Linux) that collects and runs preliminary
processing on a 4-beam vessel-mounted Doppler sonar system.  The goals
are to provide near-real-time ocean currents to support science and
operations during a research cruise, and to add to a growing
collection of ocean current data available for use in future projects.
We configure computers to run this software for the U.S Academic
Research Fleet (UNOLS), NOAA Fisheries ships, and a handful of other
ships.  We also develop and support the Open-Source core processing
code (CODAS), helping people in the community who have these datasets
to get the most out of them after the initial data collection is over.

A soon-to-graduate  MS or PhD student in Physical Oceanography
(or any quantitative earth sciences field) would be great.
