The National Science Foundation (NSF) EarthCube initiative is a community-driven project aimed at creating an integrated environment for the sharing of geoscience data and knowledge in an open, transparent, and inclusive manner. EarthCube is governed and guided by its Leadership Council, Standing Committees, Teams, and Working Groups. The community-based EarthCube Science Support Office (ESSO) is being created within UCAR in Boulder, Colorado to oversee and govern EarthCube project activities.
The Project Manager will hold a key leadership position in the ESSO, providing project management, project execution, outreach, administration, and other operational support to ESSO's efforts in contributing to EarthCube's success. The Project Manager will have a wide degree of latitude to support ESSO's mission.
The Project Manager will, among other things:
- Oversee and manage day-to-day ESSO functions to meet the needs of EarthCube as a whole and the governance activities in particular, implementing decisions of EarthCube governance as appropriate; overall responsibility for ensuring compliance with these policies and procedures.
- Serve as a focal point for communication and coordination between EarthCube governance and community, as well as between EarthCube governance and NSF, facilitating exchange of information between these stakeholders.
- Serve as the principal ESSO liaison managing the dialog between ESSO and committees to ensure that EarthCube committee and community governance, engagement, and outreach activities are successful.
Initial consideration will be given to applications received by June 9, 2016.
