Improve Scientific Data Analysis for Earth's Climate
The Climate and Scientific Computing group at UC Irvine seeks a permanent, full time programmer with enthusiasm for applying advanced computing techniques to global environmental problems. We develop software to analyze climate model and satellite data in order to improve understanding of Earth's climate.
You will: Improve robustness, optimize, document, and extend features of the netCDF Operators (NCO, nco.sf.net), a scientific data analysis toolkit written in C/C++ and ANTLR. Develop and maintain NCO wrappers for files stored in the NASA-standard HDF-EOS format. Help graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists use NCO. Track project progress towards milestones and deliverables. Update and maintain project web site.
Required: BS degree, or equivalent experience, in computer science, atmospheric science, engineering, physics, mathematics, or a related discipline. Strong skills in free-software C/C++ development (Autoconf, CVS, GCC) in UNIX/Linux environments. Skill at written and verbal communication. Desired: MS degree. Knowledge of atmospheric science, chemistry, oceanography or engineering. Knowledge of data storage standards (netCDF, HDF), parallel programming techniques and message passing (OpenMP, MPI), and web site design.
