Research Assistant

Description:

The Arabian Center for Environmental and Climate Sciences (ACCESS) is building an environmental monitoring system for the UAE based on autonomous land and marine sensors, as well as periodic manned observation campaigns. ACCESS is also developing and running high-resolution ocean, atmospheric, and climate models for the Gulf region. These activities are generating large amounts of data that needs to be archived, analyzed, visualized, and made available to scientists both in the UAE and abroad, as well as, in part, to the general public.

Principal Responsibilities

The successful candidate will assist in:

• Developing web-based visualization and archival tools for the scientific data produced by ACCESS.
• Develop software tools that retrieve and archive without human intervention the data gathered by the autonomous sensors deployed by ACCESS.
• Analyze data from multiple sources (both models and sensors) with a variety of mathematical and statistical techniques.

The successful candidate is expected to take the lead in at least one of these activities
