The Arctic Data Center is hiring The NSF Arctic Data Center is a newly funded repository providing the data storage, curation, and discovery features needed to support the Arctic research community. Launched in March 2016 the Arctic Data Center is a partnership between NCEAS at UC Santa Barbara, DataONE, and NOAA’s NCEI. In addition to supporting data preservation and curation services, the Arctic Data Center will develop an extensive data management and open science training program for the Arctic community, targeting early career and underrepresented groups.
The Arctic Data Center currently has two positions open, both of which will close on July 15th 2016. These positions will be based at NCEAS, part of UC Santa Barbara. Training and Outreach Coordinator Interested in building an open science training program for the Arctic? The Arctic Data Center at NCEAS is looking for the right person to lead our training activities, which center around techniques and approaches towards open science and data-driven synthesis, including topical foci on research computing, communication, collaboration, and other aspects of data science that support scientific synthesis. The coordinator will conduct multiple workshop-oriented training events each year along with other staff from the Arctic Data Center, NCEAS, and the LTER Network Communications Office (NCO). Curricular materials will be open and consistent with NCEAS’ Open Science for Synthesis training program. Projects Data Coordinator The Projects Data Coordinator manages ecologically and environmentally relevant data from the Arctic Data Center and other funded projects at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS). The coordinator contacts data providers and consults the literature to gather metadata to make the data understandable and useful for synthesis activities. The coordinator also performs a wide variety of analysis and modeling activities to assess and remedy data quality issues, as well as characterize and visualize data for synthesis. The coordinator will work with other team members and with scientists from targeted projects to gather data and metadata, and will mentor graduate student fellows who contribute to the data management goals of the Center. We also anticipate a role in conducting data science training activities serving the Arctic research and other NCEAS communities.
