Are you (or is someone you know) a coding whiz with landscape and climate data? Are you equally excited about working with coding novices to democratize access to data and computational resources so that everyone has a chance to study Earth’s changing surface? Then consider applying to this ~one-year, remote-possible position funded through the NSF’s National Discovery Cloud for Climate initiative. See the description below and read the full ad at https://jobs.wm.edu/postings/62808. Review begins 01/06/2025. Email me, joanmarie@wm.edu with questions in the meantime.

The Department of Geology at William & Mary, a public university of the Commonwealth of Virginia, invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position that will begin no earlier than June 10, 2025 and no later than August 10, 2025. Candidates who hold a Master’s degree with two years’ experience in cyberinfrastructure will also be considered for the position, with the title of Research Associate.

We seek an individual with expertise in computational workflows for Earth science data, geospatial data analysis, educational module development, and outreach efforts. The position is part of the NSF-funded project, NDC-C Pathfinder to Create Integrated Climate Research and Education Using CI. As part of this project, the individual would develop software and instructional tools to democratize access to cyberinfrastructure resources for climate-related science and education. The hiring department for this position is based in Williamsburg, and the position holds the potential for fully remote work, subject to approval. The initial appointment is for one year, with the possibility of renewal based on performance and funding availability.
