[ES_JOBS_NET] TWO Research Scientist positions: UAH Lab for Applied Science / NASA EarthRISE

[Robert Griffin]

We are looking to hire for two Research Scientist positions located in
Huntsville, Alabama.

1) Research Scientist: Water and Energy Cycle Science

https://careers.uah.edu/cw/en-us/job/503859/research-scientist-ii-step-14

UAH's Lab for Applied Science (LAS) is seeking a highly motivated Research
Scientist to support the execution of cross-cutting water and energy cycle
science. Operating within Earth Action, the EarthRISE project office
focuses on developing last-mile solutions, improving coordinated action
across NASA Earth Science, and fostering workforce development. This
position is two-fold: the candidate will execute foundational research
analyzing Earth’s energy and water cycles while also providing essential
technical support to multiple initiatives across the NASA Earth System
Science Research Program (ESSRP) and Earth Action. A successful candidate
will help execute work that bridges rigorous Earth science with
high-profile applications, supporting multi-mission and integrated modeling
activities across NASA. This includes providing scientific context and data
analysis support for efforts aligned with the Multisource Integrated
Observatory (MIO), the Integrated Modeling Virtual Institute (IMVI), and
the NASA Energy and Water Cycle Study (NEWS). To effectively support
integrated Earth System Modeling, the candidate must be highly conversant
in data assimilation approaches and Earth system modeling techniques. We
are particularly interested in candidates with a strong focus on
terrestrial water budget remote sensing and modeling, though a broad
ability to converse around all domains of the energy and water cycle,
including remote sensing, atmospheric, land, and ocean modeling, is the
primary requirement. EarthRISE is a project of the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA) that works in collaboration with state, local,
tribal, territorial, and private sector partners to use information
provided by Earth observing satellites and geospatial technologies for
managing environmental challenges EarthRISE’s goal is to empower
decision-makers with tools, products, geospatial artificial intelligence,
and services to act locally on issues such as disasters, agriculture,
water, ecosystems, air quality, and health. UAH's Lab for Applied Science
in Huntsville, AL, offers a flexible and dynamic work environment, with an
in-house team of over 80 science professionals and numerous opportunities
for growth and professional development. With a growing economy, diverse
population, low cost of living, and vibrant city life, Huntsville is
consistently ranked among the top places to live in the U.S.

2) Research Scientist: Agriculture and Water Resources

https://careers.uah.edu/cw/en-us/job/503871/research-scientist-ii-step-14

UAH's Lab for Applied Science (LAS) is seeking a highly motivated Research
Scientist with background in applied agriculture, hydrology, water resource
management, and geospatial artificial intelligence. Operating within Earth
Action, the EarthRISE project office focuses on developing last-mile
solutions, improving coordinated action across NASA Earth Science, and
fostering workforce development. EarthRISE is actively involved in
developing applications in water resources, agriculture, and their critical
intersection to support state, local, tribal, territorial, and private
sector stakeholders. A successful candidate will lead and execute applied
research leveraging Earth observations to address complex, real-world
challenges such as consumptive water use, irrigation demand, drought
impacts, flood mapping, and mitigation. This role requires deep domain
expertise in the intersection of water and agriculture, utilizing advanced
modeling and remote sensing applications (e.g., land surface
hydrologic/hydraulic modeling, crop-specific remote sensing and modeling,
reservoir management, and surface water level monitoring). Additionally,
the candidate will make extensive use of very high-resolution commercial
satellite data. A geospatial data expert who can apply sophisticated AI/ML
techniques directly to Earth science and spatial datasets is sought, rather
than an AI/ML generalist. EarthRISE is a project of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) that works in collaboration
with state, local, tribal, territorial, and private sector partners to use
information provided by Earth observing satellites and geospatial
technologies for managing environmental challenges EarthRISE’s goal is to
empower decision-makers with tools, products, geospatial artificial
intelligence, and services to act locally on issues such as disasters,
agriculture, water, ecosystems, air quality, and health. UAH's Lab for
Applied Science in Huntsville, AL, offers a flexible and dynamic work
environment, with an in-house team of over 80 science professionals and
numerous opportunities for growth and professional development. With a
growing economy, diverse population, low cost of living, and vibrant city
life, Huntsville is consistently ranked among the top places to live in the
U.S.
