Dear netCDFers, My group has a job opening that may interest netCDF'ish programmers.The opening could accomodate either 1. a postdoc (academic track), or 2. a programmer (non-academic track), depending on the candidate's
interests and qualifications. Please feel free to forward to likely candidates. Best, Charlie -- Charlie Zender, Earth System Sci. & Computer Sci. University of California, Irvine 949-891-2429 )'( 1. Postdoctoral Scholar in Scientific Computing/Data Analysis The Climate and Scientific Computing group in the Department of Earth System Science at UC Irvine (www.ess.uci.edu/~zender) seeks a Postdoctoral Scholar with enthusiasm for applying advanced computing techniques to global environmental problems. We develop software to analyze climate model and satellite data in order to improve understanding of Earth’s climate. The candidate will incorporate and optimize geospatial features and parallelism in the netCDF Operators (NCO, nco.sf.net), a scientific data analysis toolkit written in C/C++ and ANTLR. Possible research topics include novel heuristics for hyperslabbing and computing statistics on irregular spatial grids, improved chunking algorithms, and parallelized workflows. Candidate will disseminate results in peer-reviewed journals and topical meetings. Required: PhD degree in computer science, atmospheric science, engineering, physics, mathematics, or a related discipline. Strong skills in free-software C/C++ development (Autoconf, GCC) in UNIX/Linux environments. Skill at written and verbal communication. Desired: Knowledge of atmospheric science, chemistry, oceanography or engineering. Knowledge of data storage standards (netCDF, HDF), geospatial tools (WKT/GEOS/PostGIS), and parallel programming and message passing (OpenMP, MPI). Consideration of applications begins immediately and continues until the position is filled. Rank and salary are based on qualifications and available funding. Benefits package included. Send PDF-format statement of career objectives, CV, and contact information for three references to: Professor Charlie Zender (zender@xxxxxxx), Departments of Earth System Science and of Computer Science. 2. Programmer in Scientific Computing/Data Analysis. The Climate and Scientific Computing group in the Department of Earth System Science at UC Irvine (www.ess.uci.edu/~zender) seeks to fill a position in the Specialist series for a full-time programmer with enthusiasm for applying advanced computing techniques to global environmental problems. We develop software to analyze climate model and satellite data in order to improve understanding of Earth's climate. The candidate will: Improve robustness, optimize, document, and extend features of the netCDF Operators (NCO, nco.sf.net), a scientific data analysis toolkit written in C/C++ and ANTLR. Incorporate geospatial features and parallelism into NCO. Help graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists use NCO. Track project progress towards milestones and deliverables. Update and maintain project web site. Perform system administration on GNU/Linux platforms. Evaluate, purchase, install and configure computer hardware and peripheral devices. Required: BS degree, or equivalent experience, in computer science, atmospheric science, engineering, physics, mathematics, or a related discipline. Strong skills in free-software C/C++ development (Autoconf, GCC) in UNIX/Linux environments. Skill at written and verbal communication. Desired: MS degree. Knowledge of atmospheric science, chemistry, oceanography or engineering. Knowledge of data storage standards (netCDF, HDF), geospatial tools (WKT, GEOS, PostGIS), and parallel programming and message passing (OpenMP, MPI). Consideration of applications begins immediately and continues until the position is filled. Rank and salary are based on qualifications and available funding. Benefits package included.
