<div dir="ltr"><div>Position: Data Engineer</div><div>Deadline: August 31 <br></div><div><br></div><div>Conservation Science Partners is a leader in the fields of conservation biology and landscape ecology,
working at the intersection of the latest computational technologies and the environmental sciences.
We seek a Data Engineer to provide project-specific support, as well as leadership, on a wide array of
high-profile, data-driven projects or initiatives. We work in the exciting, complex, and fast-paced nonprofit realm where the emphasis of projects is generally on terrestrial ecology and freshwater systems,
with applications to human systems (e.g., land and water use, protected areas, social and environmental
justice, end-user needs) using tools that include: data science and advanced analytics; disturbance,
drought, impacts, or risk analysis; climate change vulnerability analyses; species occupancy and habitat
modeling; and wildlife and ecological connectivity analysis, among others. The position will serve as part
of a team of data scientists and ecologists working to solve large-scale problems through
implementation of end-to-end software development workflows, machine learning/advanced statistical
modeling, and cloud based computing tools. This individual will work closely with teams based in two
offices (CA and CO) plus affiliated locations or institutions in four other western states. The successful
candidate will contribute to an internal culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, innovation, creativity, and
experimentation, and help to advance the function, direction, and initiatives of the organization. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Core responsibilities for this position include:
● Designing and implementing data processing and ingestion pipelines using a portable
reproducible science workflow that includes using version control workflows (git), containerized
environments (docker), and utilizing cloud based computational resources (e.g. Azure, Amazon
Web Services, and/or Google Cloud Platform).
● Engineering of features from a variety of data types (e.g. imagery, video, tabular, etc.) for
training, validation, and testing datasets.
● Designing and implementing supervised/unsupervised machine learning, deep learning
(Tensorflow, Keras, and/or PyTorch), and Bayesian statistical models (Stan, JAGS, and/or greta).
● Contributing to the design, development, and management of multiple research initiatives or
projects simultaneously; liaising directly with diverse project partners or clients, as needed.
● Developing or supporting manuscripts, reports, proposals, professional presentations, and
science communication tools.
● Helping to promote a culture of diversity, creativity, innovation, and experimentation in CSP. <br></div><div><br></div><div>For more information on the job description and how to apply.
