________________________________



Title: Scientific Programmer ? Simulation Analysis

Salary: $50-70k/y

Full Description and Application Portal: https://uacareers.com/postings/31668

We seek a scientific programmer to join the agricultural data science initiative
at the University of Arizona. Our team is responsible for developing automated
pipelines for data collection, simulation modeling, and statistical analysis
that integrate heterogeneous data with scientific understanding. The goal of
this project is to develop plants that respond to environmental cues alongside
new remote sensing methods that detect these responses.

The scientific programmer will work closely with scientists who collect, use,
and analyze data to simulate and analyze the growth and ecological dynamics of
engineered plants. The programmer will be responsible for the deployment,
development, and execution of data analysis and land surface simulation models
(such as BioCro, ED2, and/or CLM5) using the PEcAn (pecanproject.org) simulation
modeling and analysis workflow software that integrates data collected from a
variety of handheld, aerial, and ground-based sensor platforms.
