Job Opportunity with the Earth Observatory of Singapore
Position: Research Associate (Field Support Scientist)
Location: Earth Observatory of Singapore at Nanyang Technological University
Supervisor: Dr. Paramesh Banerjee, Technical Office Director
Purpose: To expand and maintain volcano gas monitoring networks for the purpose of facilitating active volcano research
Description: The Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) conducts research on several volcanoes in South East Asia. The successful applicant will be responsible for maintaining and expanding volcano gas monitoring networks, and aiding in research with respect to volcanic gases and signals of unrest. The position involves frequent overseas fieldwork, particularly in the Philippines and Indonesia. Applicants should be motivated self-starters, able to work independently with minimal supervision.
Duties include:
· Operate and maintain ground-based gas monitoring instrument networks, including DOAS, SO2 cameras, and multigas samplers.
· Optimize and expand current gas monitoring networks, and explore options for new networks at future research volcanoes.
· Process and analyse gas data, and assist with interpretation of volcanic behaviour.
· Maintain up-to-date gas data archive.
· Liaise with foreign collaborators and technicians, both remotely and in the field.
· Keep clear documentation of methods and progress for ease of transparency between technicians, researchers, and collaborators.
· Lend expertise to both technical and volcano research endeavours.
· Experience in volcano gas monitoring is essential.
· Background in gas geochemistry is preferred, though not necessary.
· Knowledge of telemetry and remote communications is a bonus.
· Knowledge of Matlab, Python, or other computation software is also a bonus, as it will make handling large data sets much easier.
Interested applicants should send a CV, cover letter, and contact details for two references to Dr. Paramesh Banerjee (pbanerjee@xxxxxxxxxx). There will be opportunities to meet Dr. Banerjee and members of the Volcano Group at the AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco.
