Our project seeks to improve short term forecasting of methane dynamics at two focal sites in Louisiana and the Chesapeake Bay, as well as improve national scale mapping of the variables we use to estimate methane emissions. We are searching for a data technician to collaborate with a multi-university and multi-agency team on developing GIS and remote sensing workflows, managing new data produced by the team, and occasionally contributing to fieldwork for new data collection.


A successful candidate will have at least:
  *   A Bachelor’s degree in a Natural or Physical Science
  *   Demonstrated experience with using remote sensing and GIS to answer environmental research questions
  *   Experience managing data originating from multiple sources
  *   Proficiency with open-source coding in R and/or Python

  *   Experience with using Landsat and/or Sentinel-2 Imagery
  *   GitHub Experience
  *   Experience with wetland plant ecology, carbon cycling, or soils science
  *   Research interests in rivers, estuaries, and/or coastal processes


Please send a cover letter briefly outlining your how you meet any of the required or optional criteria, a CV or resume, a work sample, such as paper, report, map, figure, or link to a presentation, and the contact information for three references to Dr. James Holmquist (HolmquistJ@si.edu) by January 15, 2021.

SERC is focused on understanding the causes and consequences of environmental change for marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems. The main campus is a 2,650-acre research site on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in Edgewater Maryland. Facilities include the Global Change Research Wetland, the site of the known longest-running ecological manipulation experiment. Nearby cities include historic Annapolis, Maryland's capital, and D.C. The technician will be hired as a Trust Employee through Smithsonian's non-profit wing. This will entitle them to health, vision, dental, and other benefits.
