Riverdale Park, Maryland, United States Global Science & Technology, Inc. Full time
Position Overview

Global Science & Technology, Inc. (GST) is looking for a Coral Reef Monitoring Scientist - Focused on Coral Bleaching and Thermal History. This role is designed for 100% remote work, with the exception of mandatory in-person meetings.


The successful candidate will support NOAA Coral Reef Watch (CRW) by documenting coral bleaching occurrences and conducting independent scientific and statistical analyses that contribute to peer-reviewed research on coral reef bleaching and its forecasting through remotely sensed data.

Background: CRW leverages remotely sensed data to pinpoint physical and environmental stressors that may affect marine ecosystems. The program employs satellite-derived sea surface temperature (SST) and thermal anomaly algorithms to ascertain when and where coral reef ecosystems are vulnerable to bleaching. These predictions are utilized by reef managers, scientists, and the public to comprehend, document, and react to the escalating threat posed by marine heatwaves.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Document and archive all relevant information and data concerning both domestic and international coral bleaching incidents.
  • Initially focus on documenting the ongoing global coral bleaching event through qualitative and quantitative field observations, alongside patterns in remotely-sensed sea surface temperatures.
  • Contribute to objective assessments of the effectiveness of coral bleaching prediction algorithms in collaboration with domestic and international partners.
  • Enhance and maintain the Coral Reef Watch's thermal history product suite, utilizing these products to lead scientific analyses that address the impacts of environmental memory on future bleaching predictions.
  • Lead the development of multiple scientific publications on the aforementioned topics, with prioritization determined through discussions with the Coordinator and key collaborators.
  • Independently identify urgent research needs and inquiries related to the prediction, monitoring, and effects of coral bleaching events.
  • Demonstrate proficiency in data management, statistical analysis, data interpretation, and reporting results from independent scientific studies.
  • Contribute to the upkeep of Coral Reef Watch products and assist in the creation of new experimental products identified through engagement with end users.
  • Support the Coral Reef Watch Coordinator in fostering and maintaining collaborations both domestically and internationally; strong interpersonal skills are essential.
  • Exhibit strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Travel may be required to present findings at international scientific conferences.

Required Qualifications:

  • Experience with large datasets, particularly global-scale remotely sensed data.
  • Proficiency in statistical software (e.g., R statistical environment) and the application of statistics to determine the significance of analyses.
  • Understanding of remotely sensed data and its formats (e.g., NetCDF).
  • Ability to program in Python.

Note: Selected candidates will undergo a government background investigation.

GST provides competitive salaries, vacation, sick leave, holiday leave, comprehensive medical, dental, life, long-term, and short-term disability insurance, a 401K retirement plan, tuition assistance, and opportunities for professional growth and development.

All qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, or gender identity. GST is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
