[OBSIPtec] Ocean Bottom Seismometer Instrument Center Lab Manager AND Data Specialist

[Kasey Aderhold]

*Institution: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Open Until: 2019-06-30
*
         The newly formed Ocean Bottom Seismometer Instrument Center 
(OBSIC) at WHOI provides seafloor seismographs and at-sea technical 
support to the U.S. academic community in order to advance knowledge 
about Earth structure and dynamic processes, such as earthquakes and 
volcanism. The center replaces the Ocean Bottom Seismograph Instrument 
Pool, which NSF created in 1999 and that included WHOI and two other 
institutions.  OBSIC has openings for two full-time positions: 
Laboratory Manager and Data Specialist.  The scope of either of these 
positions may vary depending on the qualifications of the new hires, but 
the minimum responsibilities will include those described below.

         The Laboratory Manager will be responsible for maintaining the 
OBSIC lab in a high state of operational readiness, the coordination and 
planning of sea-going experiments, budget management, and work 
scheduling. He/she will be responsible for the surge training program of 
non-OBSIC technicians and management of the trained surge personnel 
pool. The Laboratory Manager will modernize the lab’s inventory and 
maintenance systems and databases. She/he will attend biannual meetings 
of the OBSIC Oversight Committee, UNOLS ship-scheduling meetings, and 
participate in community outreach activities.  The Laboratory Manager 
will have a graduate degree in Engineering or Geophysics and a minimum 
of 5 years of experience. He/she will sail on occasional OBSIC cruises.

         The Data Specialist will be responsible for archiving all data 
acquired through OBSIC at the IRIS Data Management Center. He/she will 
carry out quality-assessment of both field data and test data generated 
in-house. Data-quality assessment tasks include both in-house analysis 
and review of MUSTANG data quality control metrics generated at the IRIS 
DMC.  These and other QA/QC products will inform OBSIC operational 
decisions and provide the OBSIC Oversight Committee with an independent 
assessment of performance.  The Data Specialist will be responsible for 
analysis of sensor calibration measurements, and will maintain 
up-to-date calibration information for all OBSIC instrumentation. She/he 
will be the point person for all data-related queries from the OBS 
community. The Data Specialist will have a graduate degree in Geophysics 
and a minimum of 5 years of experience.   He/she will sail on occasional 
OBSIC cruises.
