The Cryospheric Sciences Lab at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is looking for a sea ice remote sensing civil servant scientist. Candidates with background in any aspect of sea ice remote sensing (observations, such as passive microwave, optical, or altimetry studies; data-model integration; interdisciplinary studies such as sea ice-atmosphere-ocean connections) are encouraged to consider applying.
The mission of the Cryospheric Sciences Lab (https://earth.gsfc.nasa.gov/cryo) is to advance our understanding of Earth's cryosphere and its relationship to other elements of the global climate system. You will join a group of ~30 scientists who design, collect, use, and integrate remote sensing data products to achieve this mission. We use ground-based, airborne, and space-borne data sets to characterize and understand the ongoing changes in Earth's polar regions.
Applicants must be US citizens, and the position can be filled by either an early-career scientist at the GS-13 level (within 5 years of earning your highest degree) or mid-career scientist at the GS-14 level (6 or more years beyond the terminal degree). The advertisement will be posted at usajobs.gov in the coming weeks. Applicants are encouraged to collect transcripts and other required materials (research statement) owing to this short (5 day) window to apply. This position is located in Greenbelt MD, and relocation support is available.
Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions!
Cheers,
tom
