Position description

The Climate Hazards Center (CHC) at the University of California, Santa Barbara, seeks an experienced scientific programmer for the position of Climate and Data Services Associate Specialist. The CHC is an internationally recognized research group that develops and implements early warning science to support disaster risk reduction, drought monitoring, and famine prevention across select countries. Every day, the CHC provides life-saving information that helps guide critical decisions in the developing world. The selected candidate will work closely with CHC Principal Investigators and scientific programmers related to data pipeline development and operations, exploring innovative ways of distributing data or sharing products, and collaborating with international partners to support their decision-making needs and those of their communities.

This position bridges CHC data processing workflows and product management, and distribution services designed to be end-user facing. The Associate Specialist will focus heavily on managing internal data pipelines, expanding data delivery systems, and collaborating directly with international partners (such as national meteorological services, NGOs, and regional climate networks) to implement data pipelines and interfaces. The ultimate goal of this position is to get critical agro-climatic and environmental data into the hands of local decision-makers through the trusted regional entities that serve them.
