The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU) has an immediate opening for a Professional Research Assistant (PRA) supporting the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), 325 Broadway, Boulder, CO. As a scientific software engineer working with the space weather team in the NCEI Solar-Terrestrial Physics (STP) section, the successful candidate will support NCEI’s work with the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR), Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites-R series (GOES-R), and future satellite missions such as the Space Weather Follow-On (SWFO). These efforts include the development of algorithms that are used for real-time and retrospective processing to provide high-quality data records for space weather instruments, and the implementation of these algorithms in scientific processing pipelines created and maintained by the space weather team. The successful candidate will be an essential member in a team of software engineers, data managers, and scientists dedicated to diverse projects to validate, process and disseminate NOAA’s space weather data.
