Atmospheric Science Research Technician 

The ASU Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences is seeking a motivated research technician to join the ASU  BIOS Environmental Quality Program to work on a range of projects, including ambient air quality monitoring conducted at locations around Bermuda and operation of the NSF-funded Tudor Hill Marine Atmospheric Observatory.

The main duties of the technician will include: 

• Maintenance and operation of atmospheric sampling equipment and field site facilities (e.g. particulate matter monitors, atmospheric gas analyzers, aerosol sampling systems, etc.)
• Preparation and shipping of samples
• Data analysis and management
• Other duties will be assigned by the Principal Investigator as needed.
• The successful applicant will be required to acquire a Bermuda light truck driving license.

The ASU BIOS Environmental Quality Program conducts a range of dynamic and varied research programs that often function in response to operational needs at short notice. The ideal candidate will therefore need to be flexible, reliable, and conscientious, possess good personal organization skills, and be able to often work independently. Some physical activity is required, including servicing outdoor equipment, working on a 23 m walk-up tower, and lifting heavy loads.

Applicants must have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in one of the physical sciences. Knowledge and experience of the following would be an advantage:

• Use of scientific equipment and instrumentation, including troubleshooting and maintenance
• Air pollution and atmospheric chemistry
• Data analysis with MS Excel and R, and familiarity with GIS applications.

The position will initially be for 1-year, with extension dependent on job performance and continuation of funding. Starting salary will be in the range of $45,000 to $53,000, commensurate with experience and qualifications. Given the restrictions on sponsored dependents residing in Bermuda set by the Bermuda Department of Immigration, all applicants are recommended to review Section 5 of the Work Permit Policy.

Review of applications will start immediately and continue as needed.
