Oversee the ACCESS-NRI Data Team and its work to support the management, sharing and long-term usability of data across the ACCESS community.
The team works across a broad range of activities, from data management and stewardship through to the development of technical capabilities that support data-intensive research. Guided by FAIR data principles, this includes enabling data sharing on high-performance compute and data (HPCD) platforms, improving tools and approaches for managing and discovering data, and embedding scalable data practices across ACCESS modelling workflows. A key responsibility of the team is to support the data management needs of the community through the ACCESS Merit Allocation scheme.
You will be leading a small team and working closely with other team leads, so it is essential that you are able to work with others, mentor staff, contribute to varied projects as needed, and balance ongoing maintenance and support with the scoping and delivery of new projects and longer-term priorities. The role combines technical engagement with internal and external stakeholder management, and you must be willing and able to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences.
ACCESS-NRI offers a uniquely cross-disciplinary workplace with opportunities to broaden your skills across climate science as well as software and data research infrastructure. We are committed to providing a supportive and enriching work environment and investing in the development of successful applicants.
We encourage candidates with experience in data management, research data infrastructure and/or data engineering, particularly those interested in leading a small technical team and building data capabilities for the future.
