Geospatial Analyst

2 months ago

Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom UKRI Full time
About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled IT Specialist to join our Geomagnetism Team at the British Geological Survey (BGS), a world-leading geological survey affiliated with the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). As a key member of our team, you will provide IT expertise for scientific applications, including space weather and navigational services, which rely on pioneering IT developments.

Key Responsibilities
  • Maintain and develop existing applications and systems, particularly in Fortran, C, Shell scripts, and Java, including time-series data delivery and display.
  • Design and implement web services that present science data to a wide range of users, including the public.
  • Provide Linux system administration skills to ensure the geomagnetism team-specific systems are aligned with the wider BGS operations, including security certification.
  • Take the lead in a particular area of IT development that is important to our future business.

You will also be encouraged to:

  • Provide IT support to Geomagnetism science colleagues.
  • Pursue a programme of Continuing Professional Development in IT.

And you will be given the opportunity to:

  • Take a leading role in the development and maintenance of one or more of our software products.
  • Undertake training to understand basic geomagnetism and space weather as a background to the IT work.

This role provides a rare opportunity to be involved in all stages of the software lifecycle, from design to deployment. You will have the latitude to develop this role around your own skills and gain experience in:

  • Taking ownership for managing and solving sophisticated scientific and business problems under your own initiative.
  • Assisting with the scientific output of the organisation, and the possibility of representing BGS at national and international meetings relevant to your role.
About You

This role could suit either a relatively recent graduate or someone further into their career with wider knowledge and experience. Applicants considered in the latter group would have a stronger case to be appointed at the higher pay band from the beginning. However, people in the former group would be given opportunities, on the job, to gain the wider knowledge and experience in order, over time, to progress and reach the higher band via the BGS personal promotion scheme.

Have you got experience of programming, strong examples of technical problem-solving, and the ability to adapt and learn new skills?

Essential Requirements
  • Degree in an IT-related subject, or another subject, such as Space Science, Geophysics, or Physics with significant IT content, or significant equivalent work experience.
  • Experience in programming, including code testing, in at least one of Fortran, C, Java, Shell scripts, Python, or JavaScript.
  • Knowledge of Linux operating systems.
  • Good English communication skills.
  • Able to work flexibly and proactively in a team, whilst managing your own time on multiple tasks to meet agreed targets.
  • A demonstrated interest in developing your area of expertise – having a good record of Continuing Professional Development in IT.
  • A commitment to a diverse and inclusive approach to work in the geosciences.
Desirable Requirements
  • A demonstrated ability to rapidly adapt to change, learning new or unfamiliar technologies as required.
  • Experience of programming under Linux and/or administering Linux.
  • Skills in IT development and maintenance, such as user interface design and/or client web applications and/or back-end web service developments – any or all Continuous Integration techniques; CSS; Java Servlet.

The following two criteria are essential to qualify for the higher UKRI Pay Band D/S1:

  • MSc or PhD or similar professional qualification in an IT-related subject or significant equivalent work experience.
  • A demonstrated ability to take a business/scientific problem of significant technical complexity, identify and assess appropriate technologies, and design a software solution.
