[iris-bulk] (Job) Product Specialist at IRIS

[IRIS]

The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) seeks a  
Product Specialist to assist in the production of scientific products  
at the IRIS Data Management Center (DMC) in Seattle. This is an  
excellent opportunity for a motivated self-starter to be a part of an  
international seismological data center and participate in the  
EarthScope project.  Data products are divided into levels according  
to their community acceptance and degree of complexity with raw time- 
series and metadata representing level 0 products. Examples of higher- 
level products that the DMC might produce are ground motion  
animations, tomographic model displays and other results from the  
scientific community.

In collaboration with DMC staff and the user community, the selected  
applicant will perform the following duties:

* Identification and definition of new data products to be produced by  
the DMC including, to a limited degree, the software implementation to  
generate the products.

* Routine monitoring of the data product production and archiving  
systems.

* Assist with generation of reports that highlight activities as they  
relate to the DMC.

Successful applicants should have an understanding of modern  
seismological practices and data methods, ideally, experience in time  
series analysis.  A Masters degree or higher in geophysics would be a  
distinct advantage.  Applicants should have experience with a Unix/ 
Solaris/Mac OSX operating environment and have at least basic Unix  
shell programming capability; experience with Perl, or other  
programming languages would be advantageous.  Familiarity with  
relational database systems and operational experience with large  
amounts of data are also desirable.

IRIS is a university consortium with more than 100 institutional  
members.  IRIS is funded by the National Science Foundation to support  
facilities for research in seismology and the Earth Sciences. IRIS  
offers competitive compensation and an excellent benefits package.   
This position is related to data from the EarthScope project.  For  
more information on IRIS and EarthScope consult http://www.iris.edu  
and http://www.EarthScope.org

Candidates should submit a letter of interest, resume highlighting  
pertinent work experience and the names and contact information for at  
least two references by March 15, 2008 to job at iris.washington.edu with  
the subject line "Product Specialist Search".
IRIS is an equal opportunity employer.
