Research Scientist 1 - Sensor Tech (req28300)


We are seeking to fill a field-based research position at the level of Research Scientist I. This position has a large field ecology component and requires the ability to live for extended periods at the UNM Sevilleta Field Station near Socorro, New Mexico, during spring and fall data collection periods (up to five non-consecutive months per year) and to drive a field vehicle.

The primary responsibility of this research technician position is to work with other scientists to maintain experiments and sensors and collect and manage data for field-based experiments that include a climate warming experiment, a drought experiment, a precipitation regime experiment,  and five sites with a rainfall variability experiment.  Job duties will include maintaining soil moisture and temperature sensors, CO2 sensors, and meteorological stations, as well as building, maintaining and overseeing large field experiments to ensure data integrity, quality control, and protocol compliance.

The successful candidate will have the ability to repair and maintain research equipment and hike long distances in a desert environment carrying field equipment.  The position requires prior knowledge of how to operate and maintain field-based sensors (soil moisture, soil CO2), data loggers, radios, and GPS units. Prior experience with sensor software is preferred (e.g., LoggerNet, PuTTY, SoilFluxPro).  The ideal candidate will have experience with the construction and maintenance of photovoltaic power arrays and wiring, and general building and construction skills. Experience in electrical engineering is preferred.  Skills in data management and analysis, including the use of Excel and prior management of large databases is also preferred qualification.

This is a term position (two-year appointment) with renewal contingent upon performance.

Required Qualifications:

Experience with maintenance of experimental field infrastructure (e.g., rainfall experiments, power tools, trenching machines, drill press, making jigs, general construction).

Experience with maintenance of sensors and electrical engineering (CO2, soil moisture, soil temperature).

Experience with data loggers, and GPS units, and prior experience with sensor software (e.g., LoggerNet).
