The Geomathematics, Remote Sensing and Cryospheric Sciences Laboratory at the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder has an opening for a Junior Programmer.
Main tasks are development and application of novel computational methods to connect modern engineering technology, mathematics, satellite observations, remote sensing and geophysics (warm- ing climate, glacial catastrophes, ice dynamics). All of our group's projects require experience in computer sciences, programming skills in python, matlab (and possibly other languages such as FORTRAN and C) and solid mathematical skills. An interest in Earth Science applications, especially snow and ice sciences and geophysics, as well as satellite sensors, is required, but formal training in these fields, while advantageous, is not required and can be learned on the job. Good communication skills (oral and written) are considered important.
The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary team and work on exciting problems that can lead well beyond the typical experiences in computer science and mathematically focused positions. Algorithm and software development will be carried out collaborative with the supervisor. Opportunities for further career development exists.
The opportunity may exist to participate in airborne geophysical data collection / field work over an Arctic glacier system, for which basic engineering skills, knowledge of GPS/GNSS data collection and outdoor experience are helpful, but not required.
A Bachelor of Science in Computer Sciences or Applied Mathematics (or a related field) is required and a Masters of Science is advantageous, as is previous experience in scientific programming.
