Applications are invited for the position of Scientific Officer for the International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG,  https://ioccg.org/).  The IOCCG is an international scientific committee with representatives from national space agencies and the ocean colour (OC) community. The group aims to promote the application of remotely sensed OC satellite data (oceans and inland waters) through coordination, training, scientific working groups and liaison between space agencies and OC scientists via international science meetings, conferences and workshops. The activities of the IOCCG are supported by national space agencies and other organisations, and upon infrastructure support from the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR).
For the first year, either part-time or full-time employment will be considered for this position, starting with a six-month probationary period, and transitioning into more permanent employment subject to demonstrated performance, as well as availability of funding from the sponsoring agencies. The starting date is flexible, but preferably early 2021. The IOCCG Project Office is currently hosted by the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Canada. The position will entail setting up a new IOCCG Project Office for the longer term. The Project Office should be associated with a university, research institute or other organisation, ideally with in-kind support from the organisation.
This is a unique opportunity for a motivated and experienced individual to provide coordination and communication services within the global ocean colour community, and to further develop their career in international programme management.
