Job Description:
Ocean Career: Director, Center for Satellite Applications and
Research at NOAAECO Posted On April 22, 2022The National
Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS)
administers an integrated program for the development and use of
all operational civilian satellite-based environmental remote
sensing systems and the national and international acquisition and
exchange of environmental data.NESDIS is responsible for analyzing
and disseminating environmental data from satellites and other
sources for use by government agencies, commercial organizations,
and the general public.DutiesThe physical worksite for this
position is located in College Park, MD. However, the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is currently under a
maximum telework posture due to the COVID-19 pandemic; therefore,
this position is currently under a 100 percent telework schedule.
The position's telework schedule will likely change in the future
when NOAA moves away from its maximum telework posture. At that
time, the incumbent will be expected to report to the physical work
site in accordance with the updated status requirements of their
supervisor.
- Provide supporting science for space-based instrumentation, raw
observations, derived data, products, and applications that are
critical for NOAA's national and international programs, including
calibration/validation methodologies and algorithm
development.
- Provide expert service to other NESDIS offices regarding
current and future sensor and mission planning and development,
instrument problems, or systems hardware components.
- Represent NESDIS in coordinating with appropriate NOAA elements
or other U.S. Government agencies in the planning, development,
implementation and evaluation of NOAA and non-NOAA operational and
research satellite observations, data, and products that result
from research activities.
- Manage interactions with the NESDIS direct reporting
Cooperative Institutes, and the overall interactions with the
academic community through NOAA/university cooperative institutes
and science centers to provide mechanisms for research
collaboration in scientific areas of mutual interest.
- Coordinate with the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, the Department of Defense, and other Federal
agencies and significant international agency partners, as
appropriate, on the development of operational product applications
from NOAA and NOAA partner environmental satellites.
- Ensure accurate and rapid transition of science to operations
and support observing system performance through close cooperation
between STAR and operations, and coordination with operational
partners both inside NOAA and external, as appropriate.
- Accelerate and improve the quantitative use and assimilation of
research and operational satellite data in weather, ocean, climate,
and environmental analysis and prediction systems; support the
activities of the Joint Center for Satellite Data
Assimilation.
- Leverage applied science research across satellite programs
(domestic, research or international) to provide integrated
applications that consistently improve the use of new domain
knowledge, reduce application maintenance, and increase the
economic value of merged, blended, assimilated or other product or
calibration/validation activities.Requirements
- Incumbent may be subject to geographic mobility.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret/SCI security
clearance.
