The Center aims to contribute to the global community who are similarly working to take on these challenges in four key areas: Generating ground-breaking computational/data science discoveries motivated by pressing environmental questions; Producing scalable solutions to critical threats facing the environment, powered by open-source tools; Deploying these solutions widely, taking advantage of modern cloud infrastructure and open data/open software, and maintaining a design philosophy of vendor neutrality to ensure that community needs are prioritized; Creating an enhanced pipeline of young environmental leaders connected to local communities and organizations to meet their needs and translate our research findings and technological developments into practical impacts. The success of this effort relies on people, our ability to build upon the success of others, and to make new contributions that allow others to build on what we create. The Schmidt Center for DSE is committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. We aim to foster an environment that is safe and open to all work together with RCNR, CDSS, and Campus to continually learn and grow in our ability to do so. Position Summary At Data Science & Environment (DSE), our engineers play a critical role in developing and delivering all technical aspects of our project efforts. We are currently looking for a candidate with strong software development experience who can also understand and support the workflows and methodologies used in biodiversity data analysis and enhancing the accessibility of bioacoustics research methods. This work is in collaboration with our partners to advance the software of Soundhub (beta: ) - a platform to store, manage, and analyze bioacoustic data. This position will play a critical role in ensuring the performance, scalability, and reliability of the data infrastructure of Soundhub and related research workflows. You have a passion for using creative coding methods to help develop and implement workflows, visualizations, and other interactive data-enabled solutions. You're driven by a commitment to protecting the environment and wildlife, and you channel that passion into bringing people together to improve tools and advance training in bioacoustic methods. As an experienced data scientist/research software engineer, you are motivated to work across diverse disciplines, advance research, and collaborate with users to ensure that human-centered design informs every stage of software development. You will lead specific projects and also engage deeply with a collaborative technical team, and opportunities to contribute your expertise across multiple projects and program areas.
