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

[IRIS]

The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) seeks two  
Product Specialists to conceive and develop scientific products at the  
IRIS Data Management Center (DMC) in Seattle.  This is an excellent  
opportunity for motivated individuals to be a part of an international  
seismological data center and participate in the EarthScope project.   
These positions are part of an exciting new direction for the DMC in  
developing derived data products that will further serve as research  
resources.  Products will be identified and developed in consultation  
with the IRIS DMS Data Products Working Group and other members of the  
community.  The range of product types can potentially span all of the  
research fields supported by EarthScope and will involve interaction  
with IRIS and related academic communities.  Examples of data products  
that the DMC will investigate are ground motion animations,  
tomographic model displays, synthetic seismograms and pre-processed  
seismic waveforms.

The selected applicants will perform the following duties:

* Identification and specification of data products in coordination  
with the Data Products Working Group

* Prototyping of new data products in coordination with the DMC  
software development team.

Successful applicants should have an understanding of modern  
seismological practices and data methods, particularly with 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.  Experience with MATLAB  
would be a distinct advantage. 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

Candidates should submit a letter of interest, resume highlighting  
pertinent work experience and the names and contact information for at  
least two references by July 10th, 2009 to job at iris.washington.edu
