Stanford University has an immediate need for two programmers to
support the Solar Oscillations Investigation - Michelson Doppler Imager.
This NASA-sponsored project is developing a space flight instrument and
ground data systems to study the sun using helioseismology techniques.


Position: Programmer Scientific III
(Job Classification: C07)

The Solar Oscillations Investigation has an opening for a Scientific
Programmer supporting space-based research in solar physics.
Responsibilities of the Scientific Programmer will be to participate in
development of data reduction and analysis code.

Duties will include:  decoding of raw telemetry data, data calibration,
transformation and additional analysis; support management of existing
ground-based and instrumental calibration data; perform verification and
testing of scientific algorithms in collaboration with scientists; perform data
reduction for testing and verification; participate in the integration and
maintenance of codes and packages; help develop and manage an
analysis library for in-house and contributed procedures; participate in the
development and implementation of database management procedures;
design user interfaces to data access procedures; augment existing and
help develop needed analysis toolsets for use prior to and during the SOI
mission; and help develop the exploratory analysis environment to be
used during the SOI mission.

Qualified candidates should have experience equivalent to a BS degree in
Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related field. Experience
with  Unix and C programming is required.  Experience with Fortran, SQL,
large relational databases, and image and/or signal processing techniques
is desired.


Position: Programmer Systems III/IV
(Job Classification: C07/C08)

The Solar Oscillations Investigation has an opening for a Systems
Programmer supporting space-based research in solar physics.
Responsibilities of the Systems Programmer will be to design and develop
a processing and data management subsystem for a computing facility
which will process several terabytes a year of science data.

Duties will include:  develop scheduling and processing control system;
refine specifications for processing of multi-terabyte data set and
management of a multi-gigabyte database; develop system-level support
for data access; develop data and data-media specifications for storage,
transmission, and export; develop data structures, file formats and
interchange software; develop data manipulation routines to incorporate
into scientific software; develop SQL and embedded SQL routines to
administer the data catalog; develop software tools for local and network
access to a multi-terabyte database; implement software quality
assurance procedures.  This position involves supervisory responsibilities
for assigning and overseeing the work of programmers.

Qualified candidates will have a BS or MS degree in Computer Science,
Mathematics or Physics or related field. For consideration at the
Programmer IV level, the candidate must have extensive experience,
typically 5 to 10 or more years, with Unix, C, and SQL .  Experience with
mass storage subsystems, large relational databases, parallel processing,
and space science applications is desired.  Supervisory duties include
recruiting, hiring, and evaluating staff.  Supervisory responsibility requires
that the employee knows and applies sound supervisory practices and
effectively implements the University's Affirmative Action Program.

If you have interest in participating on a team of researchers engaged in
pioneering space-based science, send your cover letter and resume to
Human Resources Services, 855 Serra St., Stanford University, Stanford,
CA 94305-6110.
