The Environmental Sciences Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA) has an opening for a post-masters or post-doctoral position in the Environmental Data Sciences and Systems area, with an anticipated start date between March 2007 and September 2007.  The position is a one-year appointment, extendable to a total of 3 years depending on mutual interest.   We are seeking a recent (within the last 3 years) masters or doctoral graduate interested in applying software development and informatics skills to environmental data management and distribution challenges. 

 
The successful candidate will be involved in a range of research projects in Environmental Informatics, including improving tools for analyzing and subsetting geospatial & temporal data, tools for working with environmental dataset metadata, and tools for collating data from multiple sources. These projects will principally be associated with the ORNL Distributed Active Archive Center for biogeochemical dynamics (http://www.daac.ornl.gov), but may also involve other data centers and Environmental Informatics efforts at ORNL, such as the Atmospheric Radiation Measurements Archive (http://www.archive.arm.gov/), the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (http://cdiac.ornl.gov/), and the National Biological Information Infrastructure Clearinghouse (http://www.nbii.gov).
