A research assistantship position for a MA/PhD level graduate student is
available at the Environmental Change Initiative
(http://www.brown.edu/Research/ECI/) at the Department of Geological
Science at Brown University (<http://www.brown.edu/Departments/Geology/>).
The assistantship will provide full tuition support and stipend for a
student interested in studying Antarctic meteorology.
The Antarctic ice sheet constituted the largest reservoir of freshwater
on Earth, representing tens of meters of sea level rise if it were to
melt completely. We are investigating the role of cyclones in modifying
the Antarctic climate. In particular we are interested in investigating
what the role of cyclones in modifying the ice sheet mass balance by
bringing and redistributing snow. We are also interested in
investigating how cyclones affect sea ice around Antarctica.
The graduate student will join the on-going project contributing to
climate modeling and data analysis efforts. Strong quantitative skills
are required, prior interest in polar regions and/or meteorology and
climatology is preferred.
If interested, please contact Dr. Maria Tsukernik
maria_tsukernik@brown.edu <mailto:maria_tsukernik@brown.edu> or Prof.
Amanda Lynch amanda_lynch@brown.edu <mailto:amanda_lynch@brown.edu>prior
to launching a formal application.
Formal applications for graduate school at the Department of Geology at
Brown are due January 15, 2013 and the position will start in August
2013. Please launch your formal applications here:

Hi,
I would like to bring your attention to the Earth Scientist position
with expertise in Informatics, now open through USAJobs:
<https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/333843900>
Description (from the posting):
The Science & Exploration Directorate, Earth Sciences Division, Global
Change Data Center (Code 610.2), is seeking a senior scientist to lead
research projects to utilize remote sensing data in Atmospheric Science
applications and develop Earth Science Informatics tools at the Goddard
Earth Science Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC).
As an Aerospace Technologist (AST) specializing in Earth Science data
analysis and informatics, you will lead a team of scientists and
software developers in: the design, planning, development, testing and
evolution of on-line Earth Science data analysis and visualization
tools; the investigation of science data provenance used to evaluate
measurements suitability for a given science parameter and/or
interpretation; and the cultivation of science partnerships and
successful pursuit of winning proposals (solicited and unsolicited) for
applied research.
The scope of responsibilities also includes: sensitivity analysis for
global and regional assessments of aerosol, clouds and other atmospheric
parameters; development of procedures (such as Giovanni see
http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/giovanni/overview/index.html) that bring
together and visualize datasets in various ways (e.g., merging,
co-registering); outreach to the science research community to promote
awareness of products and services; working with applications
communities to facilitate usage of NASA remote-sensing data for societal
benefits; and filling leadership roles in science data informatics
working groups. In addition, the incumbent will develop strategies to
address various aspects of multi-mission data analysis (e.g.,
inter-comparisons, data quality, data fusion) in conjunction with
interested members of the science community, and reusable across other
science disciplines.
A successful record of winning proposals in the Earth Science arena is
required. Significant publications in prominent Earth Science
peer-reviewed journals are expected.
