Could you contribute to the scientific development, maintenance and quality monitoring of remote sensing products derived from satellite based altimeter measurements? EUMETSAT operates the Copernicus missions on behalf of the European Commission, providing marine and atmospheric data services to monitor the dynamics of the ocean and marine ecosystems. To support the remote sensing activities of these missions we are recruiting for a scientist to be responsible for the development, maintenance and validation of products derived from Sentinel3 and JasonCSSentinel 6 altimetry measurements. Your role at EUMETSAT Within this role you will help develop requirements for new and improved Copernicus altimetry products and data services. These activities will provide the opportunity to actively support operational and scientific interactions with user communities and international partners including ESA, NASA, NOAA and CNES, responding to their evolving needs. You will have the chance to support both prototyping and the operational implementation of advanced algorithms for improved and new altimetry products from Copernicus and other altimeter missions. You will also be expected to support mission operations with respect to processing anomalies, change requests, new processing baselines and regression testing. To be successful you should have a degree level qualification in oceanography, remote sensing, meteorology or another relevant discipline. You should also acquire and maintain an in depth understanding of the observational capabilities of the Copernicus altimeter suite of instruments on both current and future spacecraft. We would expect you to have an indepth knowledge of microwave observations of the ocean and demonstrable experience of working with user communities and researchers. You should also have experience of working in a UNIX environment and knowledge scientificallyoriented coding languages. What we offer We work in a collaborative, international environment which offers you a competitive salary and outstanding benefits. We offer the opportunity to work on exciting satellite programmes both current and planned. You will have the opportunity to play a leading role in the application of remote sensing science, making a difference to our user community. You will work with people who are experts in their field and will have the opportunity to establish a long career at EUMETSAT. Does this sound like you? Have a look at our website to find out how you can help us make a world of difference. The closing date is 14th October with interviews planned for week beginning on the 12th November.
