ESS-DIVE Community Engagement Lead Scientist

Berkeley Lab - California - The ESS-DIVE Project at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ( ) has an exciting interdisciplinary opportunity for a ESS-DIVE Community Engagement Lead Scientist to work with the DOE's environmental science community in dramatically improving the access and usability of their datasets and facilitating data integration through community engagement and adoption of community standards. The DOE's Environmental Systems Science Data Infrastructure for a Virtual Ecosystem ( ) is a data repository for Earth and environmental science data. ESS-DIVE stores diverse datasets from various environmental sciences that include hydrology, geology, ecology, geochemistry, biology, climate and geophysics. The project will involve working with the DOE's Environmental System Science (ESS) community as well as the broader earth science informatics community (e.g. NCEAS, AGU, RDA, ESIP) to enable ESS scientists to curate and publicly share data that are FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). We seek talented individuals with training in earth and environmental sciences, and a strong aptitude for and interest in data management and data science. What You Will Do: Research FAIR data practices as they apply to ESS-DIVE and ESS science, and lead the development of recommendations for ESS-DIVE and the community to adhere to FAIR principles. Coordinate and participate in ESS-DIVE efforts to research, provide, and adopt community data/metadata standards and data management best practices for diverse data types. Translate standards into actionable capabilities to enable data integration and advanced search within ESS-DIVE. Lead and supervise ESS-DIVE community engagement activities such as outreach to ESS science projects, collaboration with cyberinfrastructure working groups and advisory boards, managing user support, organizing an annual user workshop and monthly webinars. Represent ESS-DIVE in national and international meetings, including participation in the Earth System Information Partners (ESIP) and Research Data Alliance (RDA) activities. Lead and oversee efforts to create training and documentation materials for ESS-DIVE features and data standards. Build partnerships for the exchange of environmental data across other DOE programs and user facilities and federal agencies. Author peer-reviewed journal articles. What Is Required: Ph.D. or equivalent experience in the earth and environmental sciences, informatics, or data science related fields. Graduate or postdoctoral research experience in field measurements, analysis, management or modeling of complex and diverse datasets. Previous research activities focused on environmental data management or standards. Familiarity with FAIR principles, and engagement with earth science informatics communities such as RDA and ESIP. Established record of peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. Ability to work in a multidisciplinary team environment, such as across earth and environmental sciences, informatics/digital libraries, and computer science. Excellent written and oral communication skills. Additional Desired Qualifications: 2+ years of experience with data management and earth science informatics best practices, and familiarity with the earth science data repository landscape. Experience with programming in scripting languages such as Python, R. Experience working with and organizing scientific communities. Requested Application Materials: Curriculum Vitae and publication list. Statement of research experience and interests. List of three references. For full consideration, please apply by November 15, 2020.
