About the role

This role focuses on advancing the analysis of long‑term atmospheric data records and enhancing NASA's expertise in interpreting global observations of atmospheric composition measurements.
A candidate with strong expertise in atmospheric remote sensing, middle atmospheric composition, and trace gas chemistry and dynamics is desired for this position.
Additional experience in passive remote sensing instrument characterization and retrieval algorithms would be an asset.

Bachelor's in Physics, Atmospheric Science, or a related field.
5-10 years of demonstrated experience with satellite, airborne, or ground‑based atmospheric datasets.
Scientific programming proficiency in Python, MATLAB, IDL, or similar languages.
Experience analyzing atmospheric data products such as trace gases and aerosols.
Familiarity with stratospheric chemistry and dynamics processes.
Experience working with atmospheric data sets, including model data, to interpret atmospheric transport or dynamic and chemical evolution of air parcels.
Experience with reanalysis products or models of stratospheric trace gas products.
Familiarity with NASA data systems, formats (NetCDF, HDF), and analysis workflows.
With over 60 years of experience, AMA specializes in aerospace engineering, science, analytics, information technology, and visualization solutions.
Experience with SAGE I/II/III, MLS, ACE-FTS, OMPS-LP, or other satellite atmospheric remote sensing data sets.
Experience collaborating with university or government research partners.

The salary range is $90,000-$125,000 commensurate with education and experience.
