**Science Software Engineers**  
  
We seek two talented Science Software Engineers to join our open science team
to create a software infrastructure enabling ecological and environmental
synthesis at global scales. Projects focus on federated approaches to share
and manage scientific data, analysis code, and other products to enable open,
reproducible science and facilitate synthetic research. Projects will include
building software for data analysis and integration in systems like R and
Matlab that incorporate modern approaches to semantics and provenance
modeling. Current and past projects have built systems like the KNB Data
Repository, theDataONE federation of repositories, the Kepler scientific
workflow system, and Ecological Metadata Language, among others.

  
Principal duties include: systems analysis, design, and development for
server, web-based, and desktop scientific data management and analysis
applications; web-design and development for web sites; creation of end-user
documentation and training materials; community outreach and training.
Research projects are conducted at the National Center for Ecological Analysis
and Synthesis at UC Santa Barbara.

  
Established in 1995, the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis
(NCEAS) is a research center of the University of California, Santa Barbara
and was the first national synthesis center of its kind. There is broad
acknowledgement that NCEAS has significantly altered the way ecological
science is conducted, towards being more collaborative, open, integrative,
relevant, and technologically informed. Different from the scientific
tradition of solitary lab or fieldwork, NCEAS fosters collaborative synthesis
research - assembling interdisciplinary teams to distill existing data, ideas,
theories, or methods drawn from many sources, across multiple fields of
inquiry, to accelerate the generation of new scientific knowledge at a broad
scale.

  
NCEAS is located in downtown Santa Barbara, just a 10-minute walk away from
the beach, and in a beautiful city filled with activities--downtown, on the
beaches, and in the mountains.
