Two job openings at Alfred Wegener Institute

In an effort to foster and further both the distribution and use of "big data", as well as goals of the International Quiet Ocean Experiment (IQOE), the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) is seeking to fill two positions to conceive, implement and operate a data portal that will allow easy access to acoustic data and basic data products.

These positions are part of an AWI effort to build data portals for bathymetric, biological (benthic video surveys) and oceanographic data in close collaboration with the AWI's computing centre, supporting a team of 8 full-time professionals as currently announced to jointly achieve these goals.

It is intended to transform these positions into tenure-track positions, such that this data management and accessibility effort can be sustained in the long run.

With regard to the acoustic positions, a close collaboration with the IQOE WG on Data Management and Access and the WG on Standardization is intended and shall actively be sought and maintained by the data scientist/curator.
