Santa Barbara, United States UC Santa Barbara Full time

Position description

The National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) is a world leader in environmental data science, and has helped to stimulate and promote open data science research worldwide since our inception in 1995. Current and past data science research at NCEAS has built nationally-recognized systems including the DataONE federation of repositories, the NSF Arctic Data Center, the KNB Data Repository, the Ocean Health Index, and the Permafrost Discovery Gateway, among many others. Research on systems for synthesis have focused, for example, on high throughput computing systems for machine learning on large-scale satellite imagery, building systems to support and promote open data preservation and sharing, and designing and improving FAIR data repository systems.

As the Director of Research Software Engineering, you will lead independent environmental data science
research at NCEAS to envision, design, develop, analyze and operate a national software infrastructure
for open data management, analysis, modeling, and visualization. Independent software engineering
research activities will focus on novel approaches to data science to enable open and reproducible
science and facilitate synthetic research. In collaboration with other NCEAS leaders, including the NCEAS
Director and the Director of Informatics, you will create a sustainable funding portfolio for environmental
data science at NCEAS, including grants, contracts, and income accounts. Some of the research involved
will include:
● Conduct independent research at the frontiers of environmental data science and software
● Conceptualize, design, and implement environmental data science systems to enable new
capabilities in scientific synthesis at NCEAS and globally
● Create a funding program for these data science and infrastructure systems via successful
extramural grants, contracts, and fee-based income programs
● Recruit, train, and oversee a team of research software engineers and data scientists to conduct
the research and development for these projects and systems
● Promote the widespread use and uptake of open data and open science in support of the NCEAS
mission
● Publish research software, data, and papers from your data science research
In addition to data science research, technical design and development, you will communicate to the
international science community to promote research outputs and the software and systems based on
those outputs through writing, speaking, and training at, for example, scientific conferences and open
science events. Finally, we expect your research program will include collaboration on specific grant-funded research, including collaboration with researchers and engineers spanning a diverse set of
partner institutions.
