******************************************************************** From: Loh Li Kiang <LKLOH@xxxxxxxxxx> ******************************************************************** Positions available at the Earth Observatory of Singapore: (1) Principal Investigators Earth Observatory of Singapore Principal Investigators The Earth Observatory of Singapore has been established at Nanyang Technological University to study tectonic, volcanic and climatic processes, three arenas of earth science with particular relevance to the future of societies and civilization. We plan to make about 15 tenure-track appointments over the next few years. Most will be at the assistant-professor level, but a few will be more senior. If being part of a new earth-science research team in tropical Asia intrigues you, please email your application package (consisting of a curriculum vitae, list of publications, statement of research and teaching interest, and the names of 3 references ) to EOS@xxxxxxxxxx by 1st December 2008. For further information about the Earth Observatory of Singapore, please refer to http://www.ntu.edu.sg/EarthObservatory -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2) WOVODat Project Leader Earth Observatory of Singapore WOVOdat Project Leader WOVOdat is a web-accessible, historical database of worldwide volcanic unrest, for reference during volcanic crises and for "epidemiological" research on volcanic processes. A preliminary database design is already in pilot testing. The Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) seeks a geoscientist with substantial experience with instrumental volcano monitoring to lead further development and population of WOVOdat, in collaboration with WOVO member observatories. Initial appointment will be for 2 years; funding is currently available for 5 years and the project is envisioned to be ongoing. Minimum qualifications are an MSc (PhD preferred) in a relevant field and a strong background in monitoring and interpreting geophysical and/or geochemical unrest at an active volcano. This is a non-faculty, research staff appointment. Please visit http://www.ntu.edu.sg/earthobservatory for more requirements of these positions, and apply online using the instructions at that site, before November 1, 2008. Please visit www.wovodat.org for more details about the WOVOdat project. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3) Senior IT Specialist (Programmer) Earth Observatory of Singapore Senior IT specialist (Programmer) WOVOdat is a web-accessible, historical database of worldwide volcanic unrest, for reference during volcanic crises and for "epidemiological" research on volcanic processes. A preliminary database design is already in pilot testing. The Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) seeks a senior programmer to complete design of the database, ensure efficient interfacing with GIS software and other visualization tools, ensure efficient population of the database from a very heterogeneous set of source materials, and ensure smooth and efficient Web access for users. This is a multi-year project. You will be assisted by at least one junior programmer. Minimum qualifications are: BSc and preferably higher degree in Computer Science, CIS, or related field and substantial experience as a scientific programmer or system analyst; significant experience with the LINUX/UNIX operating system, server side processes, and client-server logic; demonstrated experience in programming and scripting languages such as C++, Java, Python, PHP, PERL, Ajax, XML, and SQL; experience with GIS and Atlas Information Systems or virtual globes and their web applications, basic spatial data treatment (orthorectification, georeferencing, projections, transformations, SVG). Applicants must be willing to travel. Experience with MySQL is highly desirable ; cross-cultural skills will be a plus. Please visit http://www.ntu.edu.sg/earthobservatory for more requirements of these positions, and apply online using the instructions at that site, before November 1, 2008.
