Interested in Research focused on Data Visualization and Science Education
using NOAA’s Science On a Sphere (SOS)? Applications for 2-year CIRES
Postdoctoral Fellow are open now (due Jan. 2, 2024). See the attached flyer
for more information.



If you are interested, please contact Anne Gold (anne.u.gold at colorado.edu)
to discuss your research idea(s). *Application Deadline: January 2,
2024. *Visit

The 2-year CIRES Visiting Fellows program is open now for applications to
work with CIRES researchers, including the CIRES Education & Outreach
Program and NOAA’s Science on a Sphere. We are looking for interested
candidates to work with our team to conduct innovative research that
focuses on using NOAA’s Science On a Sphere (SOS) data and tools in formal
education. Research would broadly focus on supporting learners’ sensemaking
of environmental science data (Next Generation Science Standard Practices)
and/or studying effective and innovative ways of scaffolding the use of
SOS’ environmental datasets in classrooms. The Postdoctoral Fellow would
work closely with the Director of the CIRES Education & Outreach Program,
Anne Gold, the School of Education at CU Boulder and the Science On a
Sphere team.

*What is Science On a Sphere (SOS)? *The NOAA Science On a Sphere (SOS)
program aims to help people understand the world around them. At the heart
of the program are the Science On a Sphere and SOS Explorer technologies
with their accompanying data catalogs. Science On a Sphere is a room-sized,
global display system that projects visualizations of planetary data onto a
six foot diameter sphere to help illustrate Earth System science to people
of all ages and SOS Explorer is a flat-screen version that is available as
a desktop application and a mobile app. The software comes to life when
paired with the data catalog. The catalog contains over 600 dataset
visualizations that include nearly 100 narrated movies and 50 real-time
datasets. As part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
most of the catalog is related to Earth science topics, such as climate
models, sea surface temperatures, weather, atmospheric chemistry, and
tsunamis. There are also some datasets in the fields of astronomy, history,
social science, public health, and more. The visualizations in our catalog
are engaging, informative, and awe-inspiring.

*Global Distribution of Sites: *Science On a Sphere and SOS Explorer can be
found in hundreds of science museums, aquariums, zoos, schools and
universities, visitor centers, government laboratories, and many more
locations around the world, in addition to classrooms and people’s personal
mobile devices. Millions of people see them every year and are a rich
population for a research study.

If you are interested, please contact Anne Gold (anne.u.gold at colorado.edu)
to discuss your research idea(s). *Application Deadline: January 2,
2024. *Visit
the *VFP webpage *for more information. Our team is excited to collaborate
with interested applicants to compile a strong and innovative proposal. We
encourage applications from members of groups under-represented in the
environmental sciences and related disciplines.
