CALS Programmer Analyst III Earth and Atmospheric Sciences

The OpportunityThe Programmer Analyst III will be supervised by Dr. DeGaetano, with guidance also provided by federal scientists and researchers at other collaborating universities. The programmer analyst will work as part of a team fulfilling the Base and Regional Service Tasks specified in the federal contract supporting the NRCC. The scope of this work provides products and services to address regional climate information needs. This includes leveraging NOAA's capabilities and expertise by transforming its satellite, in situ, radar, and paleoclimate data and products into regionally-tailored products and services, as appropriate, that meet the needs of users and partners and promote resilience and prosperity. To achieve this the programmer analyst will provide coding support to: 1) identify user needs to respond to climate-related decisions, 2) Develop, test, and sustain tools, products, and services meeting user requirements, 3) Transition appropriate tools, products, and services to operational states, and 4) Sustain ongoing NRCC activities. The position is funded by a long-term NOAA supported contract as well as grants from private industry, New York (and other) States, and other federal agencies, all based at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. There will be support for conferences and travel to collaborate in person with project partners. The successful candidate would join an active community of professional staff, postdoctoral associates and graduate students and at Cornell. This is a full-time position at 100% FTE. This is a one-year term appointment that is contingent upon available work, funding, and performance. About the CollegeThe College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) is a pioneer of purpose-driven science and Cornell University's second largest college. We work across disciplines to tackle the challenges of our time through world-renowned research, education, and outreach. The questions we probe and the answers we seek focus on three overlapping concerns: We believe that achieving next-generation scientific breakthroughs requires an understanding of the world's complex, interlocking systems. We believe that access to nutritious food and a healthy environment is a fundamental human right. We believe that ensuring a prosperous global future depends on the ability to support local people and communities everywhere. By working in and across multiple scientific areas, CALS can address challenges and opportunities of the greatest relevance, here in New York, across the nation, and around the world. The Northeast Regional Climate Center, under the direction of Dr. Art DeGaetano at Cornell University, is looking for a Programmer Analyst III to translate applied research to novel applications of observed and downscaled climate data in decision-making.What We NeedWhile position responsibilities vary, every member of our community is expected to foster a culture of belonging and a healthy work environment by communicating across differences; being cooperative, collaborative, open, and welcoming; showing respect, compassion, and empathy; engaging and supporting others regardless of background or perspective; speaking up when others are being excluded or treated inappropriately; and supporting work/life integration of oneself and others. * Bachelor's degree in atmospheric science, climatology, computer science, information science, data science, or a related quantitative field. * Proficiency in Python. * Proficiency in web-development. * Experience with working within situ and gridded climatological datasets. * Familiarity with federal and regional climate data sources. * Excellent written and oral communication skills. * Ability and desire to work independently and as part of a team. * Ability to cultivate and develop inclusive working relationships with students, faculty, staff, and community members. * Ability to cultivate and develop inclusive workin
