As part of this multi-year project, you will work together as part of a dynamic project team, including an expert working group, a postdoctoral fellow, a project lead, several data analysts, and a web developer. Together this team is working to create the first quantitative, applied index of wildfire resilience in the west. This is position will be based at NCEAS in Santa Barbara, California

As a successful Data Analyst, you will use your analytical skills and knowledge to support the development of a suite of indicators and a comprehensive indicator framework to quantitatively measure wildfire resilience at scales applicable to management.

Guided by an expert working group and in partnership with the project team, you will participate in the Index development and synthesis process. You will contribute to the development of data pipelines and reproducible analytical workflows to integrate heterogeneous sources of data (tabular, geographic, remote sensing, etc.) for the project team, with a particular focus on machine learning and AI-accelerated analytical processes. You will also gather, organize, and document code and data processes involved in calculating the WWRI and work with the WWRI Web Developer to create interactive data visualizations and compelling infographics.
