collaboration with the Northeast Regional Climate Center (NRCC) is
seeking a research support scientist to participate in ongoing and
proposed research and outreach projects. The position will interact
closely with the NRCC and college staff and faculty. Initial work will
relate to ongoing projects, but the interests of the applicant are
likely to influence future efforts. Responsibilities include research
support, including programming, data analysis and reporting results.
Must be able to adapt to existing computing and programming platforms to
facilitate the transition of research results to operational climate
applications. Additional responsibilities include reporting results via
manuscripts and presentations at seminars and conferences, and training
students in related research projects. The initial appointment will be a
one-year term beginning as soon as possible with extension expected
based on satisfactory performance and the availability of funds.

A Masters Degree or higher in atmospheric science, statistics or another
relevant field. Exceptional applicants possessing a Bachelor?s degree
and research experience will be considered. For all candidates, 3 to 5
years of research experience is preferred. Applicants should be
self-motivated and able to focus on multiple projects simultaneously.
Solid technical programming skills (preferably including Python), good
qualitative research skills and strong writing abilities are also
required. The ideal candidate will possess some combination of
experience in statistical analysis (familiarity with R), knowledge of
GCM downscaling techniques, familiarity with data management, spatial
mapping skills, and/or web development. Outreach experience will be
beneficial along a publication history and grant preparation skills.
