REMOTE SENSING SCIENTIST OPTICAL RADIATIVE TRANSFER

2019-08-13 11:16:11| Space-careers.com Jobs RSS

The holder of the post will be part of the Image Navigation, Registration and Calibration Competence Area INRC CA of the Remote Sensing and Products Division RSP. The holder of the post will followup and assess scientific developments in optical atmospheric radiative transfer modelling and develop and maintain enhanced radiative transfer tools. These tools are essential for the generation, vicarious calibration and validation of products from optical instruments of current EPS and MSG and future MTG and EPSSG satellite systems. DUTIES Review requirements and lead the selection andor applications of enhanced radiative transfer models in the optical spectrum from the UV to the Infrared to be used in the generation, vicarious calibration and validation of products from optical instruments, or to develop new algorithms, generate test data for processing chains and anomaly investigation Support the implementation and maintenance of radiative transfer models in development and operational environments, and their use for product generation, vicarious calibration and product validation Improve existing tools for vicarious instrument calibration and product validation using radiative transfer models Write and maintain documentation on radiative transfer models in use at EUMETSAT Support scientific aspects of the analysis of missionsystem tradeoffs and in the implementation and extension of radiative transfer models for use in product generation chains Coordinate the maintenance and further development of radiative transfer models to analyse the adequacy and correctness of user requirements Initiate and manage internal and external studies on the extension of relevant radiative transfer code Cooperate with external experts and support dedicated interactions with partner organisations e.g. NWP SAF, ECMWF, ESA, NOAA and the worldwide science community. Candidates must be able to work effectively in English and have some knowledge of French. SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE Advanced university degree in atmospheric physics, physical remote sensing, or equivalent. In depth scientific knowledge of the use and development of atmospheric radiative transfer models both line by line and fast models in the optical spectrum, including absorption, multiple scattering, polarisation and surface interactions, for the preparation of satellite remote sensing methods is essential Experience with the scientific development of applications of enhanced radiative transfer models in the optical spectrum from the UV to the Infrared to develop new toolsalgorithms, andor generate test data Experience with scientific applications and analysis tools e.g. IDLMATLAB, and fluency in a programming language are important C, C, FORTRAN, Python in UNIX environments. Expertise and experience in the use of parallel processing is an advantage Experience with collaborative scientific projects covering research and development work is important Strengths in analysis, synthesis and presentation, coupled with good interpersonal skills and a proven ability to apply these to interactions within a team and between teams. EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONS The initial contract will be of 4 years duration, with subsequent 5 year contracts being awarded thereafter, subject to individual performance and organisation requirements. There is no limit to the amount of followup contracts a staff member can receive up to the EUMETSAT retirement age of 63 and there are certainly opportunities to establish a long career perspective at EUMETSAT.
