Supervisory Research Physical Scientist, ZP-1301-4 (Direct Hire)
This position is located in the Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL), Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML) with one vacancy in Boulder, CO. As a Supervisory Research Physical Scientist, you will perform the following duties:
Serve as Chief of the Global Radiation and Aerosol (GRAD) Group, and as an expert in radiation science and related fields. Conduct work that involves decisions, actions, and recommendations that focus on GRAD priorities, funding, allocation of organizational resources, and budget. Conduct and oversee research related to the measurement of solar and infrared radiation and aerosols at the Earth's surface. Pursue applications involving numerical weather and global-scale models, ground-truth for satellite measurements, and renewable solar energy research. Develop the principles, criteria, methods, and data for use by these user communities. Work with scientists to maintain, improve, and analyze long-term radiation, cloud, and aerosol observations to recognize changes in the environment to better understand the role of radiative processes in weather and climate. Conduct analysis of research results and evaluate those results for dissemination. Remain professionally active through publications and presentations at science conferences and workshops. As supervisor, plan and distribute work to be accomplished by subordinates; set and adjust short and long-term priorities and prepare schedules for the completion of work; improve production and quality of work; evaluate work performance and address poor performance; identify employee developmental and training needs; and promote, recognize, reassign and select new employees.
