<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Baskerville",serif">This is an excellent opportunity for a software engineer looking to learn more about and apply their talents to climate science and community climate risk management, or for a climate scientist
looking to expands their software engineering skills.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Baskerville",serif">The software engineer will serve as the lead developer for two projects.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Baskerville",serif">The Framework for Assessment of Changes To Sea-level (FACTS) is an open-source sea-level projection framework that was used to support the development of projections for the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Report and the US Interagency Sea Level Rise Scenarios Task Force. The research software engineer will develop new modules and capabilities for FACTS. They will also coordinate with the scientists and practitioners
using FACTS, as well as the growing set of scientist-developer contributors to the code base, to ensure that FACTS and associated tools are capable of meeting the needs of users in the scientific and practitioner communities and to make FACTS a widely used
community toolkit.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Baskerville",serif">The National Science Foundation-funded PaleoSTeHM project is developing a framework for spatio-temporal hierarchical modeling of paleo data that builds upon modern, scalable software infrastructure
for machine learning and probabilistic programming. PaleoSTEhM’s goal is to develop a framework that keeps pace with software engineering advances and makes these powerful modeling approaches broadly available to the paleo science community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Baskerville",serif">The software engineer will also work with researchers, community members, and decision-makers in the Lab, MACH and the NASA Sea-Level Change Team to develop other modeling, analysis, visualization,
and decision support tools. Desired areas of expertise include high-performance computing, machine learning/probabilistic programming, statistical analysis of large datasets, optimization techniques, data visualization, and development of web-based graphical
user interfaces. Interest in climate and sea-level change is essential, though past experience in these areas is not required.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Baskerville",serif">Experience with Python, Linux, and HPC systems is essential, and experience with Dask, xarray, and netCDF files is strongly desired. The successful candidate will generally have a Master’s degree
in a relevant field, although other candidates with significant experience and a demonstrated record of success in scientific computing may also be considered.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Baskerville",serif">The position will be based at Rutgers-New Brunswick, with remote work possible. The position is a grant-funded annual position, with excellent possibility of renewal for one or more additional
years. The salary will be competitive, commensurate with experience, and will comply with Rutgers University guidelines. The position is listed as full-time but part-time applicants will also be considered. For candidates with a Ph.D., there is a possibility
of transitioning to a non-tenure track assistant research professor position.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
