Application process
- It provides a technology and networking platform to support the development and application of Earth system, weather, and climate modeling, data infrastructure, and impact research.
- Project background There is an ever-increasing amount and diversity of Earth observations collected from satellites, airborne instruments, in-situ measurement networks, and high-resolution climate modeling data produced at C2SM.
- Harnessing these data effectively is essential for advancing our understanding of the Earth system.
- C2SM in collaboration with Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) is extending its data services and is building a petabyte-scale data lake consisting of highly diverse observational and model data.
- To address this challenge, a robust data management framework is being developed to make rapidly growing Earth-system datasets accessible and usable for the scientific community.
- We are looking for an Earth Systems Data Manager to play a pivotal role in shaping this framework.
- This technical position focuses on identifying observational datasets relevant to Earth science research across disciplines, curating and documenting data collections to ensure quality and scientific value, and establishing metadata and access standards to support data discovery and reproducibility.
- Working closely with researchers and developers from C2SM, ETH, CSCS, as well as national and international institutions, the successful candidate will support operating and advancing the data platform, assist interdisciplinary projects that integrate multiple data sources, and use high-performance computing resources to manage and process large environmental datasets such that they are ready to be used for research.
