Coastal Resilience Coordinator
The Northeastern Regional Association of Coastal Ocean Observing Systems (NERACOOS) is seeking to hire a Coastal Resilience Coordinator to manage and grow a portfolio of work on emerging issues and technologies related to coastal resilience, sea level rise, and coastal inundation in the Northeastern U.S. A particular focus will be developing and supporting a water level monitoring community of practice with an emphasis on lower cost sensors. Additionally, the position will coordinate the expansion of water level monitoring sensors supported through NERACOOS. The position will also help determine how to most effectively capitalize on and evolve the regional ocean observing system managed by NERACOOS to better monitor and forecast coastal water level. In order to most effectively guide these activities, the position will conduct extensive user engagement to improve our understanding of water level data and information needs, and to channel that understanding into the development and evolution of data products. Across this portfolio of work, the position will work at the intersection of coastal science and end-user engagement.
