*About UMCES and the Chesapeake Global Collaboratory (CGC)*


UMCES (*https://www.umces.edu/
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://oz6ixb4ab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0010bhQ2vL3t_70wwwfUth6mTuF0f1z13D0kwp6UV8NgP1Xvg0ozQP5133OVWzeGpUpO8wROuvKqVVRYBBB2e6m5U106xS6uPLeP0k5AetBrPVskbuYcf3xBPJzj386asaVHlnalTM8bacW7e7zaOxQ3Q==&c=P9hPvKQWHQascfLzHsX43rtYueJNlh-k4Nmik9lMd1swRlS2DkHyqQ==&ch=7VT9cUDzrTrrOn7DH-40_iPhPQDXKUWQ7eKPa1_DqtcCBrCmbJXbVw==__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!gnkIQn6_n3Uz6MprOaJAzClHM95zf053HbzbCOh9t0gpX8OqqnYK02MP51HGNHb71crnBnI5-0e0mvHZXgZrUx8$>*)
is a leader in basic and applied environmental science aiming to engage
academic and non-academic partners to create solutions to difficult
environmental problems. Central to this work are professionals who excel at
bridging divides through translation and facilitated collaboration on
analysis of complex environmental data.


The Chesapeake Global Collaboratory (CGC) is a new UMCES-wide initiative
with the goal of accelerating solutions to complex problems by bringing a
new generation of tools, data, voices, and approaches to environmental
research. The CGC is both a physical and virtual space equipped with
state-of-the-art technology where scientists, environmental policy makers,
academics, and stakeholders can work together to address challenging
environmental issues and educate the next generation of problem solvers.
The main activity areas are: Cyberinfrastructure, Data Science, Education
and Training, Science Communication, and Stakeholder Engagement. The CGC is
designed to support research applications by facilitating project-specific
tailored services. A new building as part of the CGC located on the
Chesapeake Bay will provide technology-augmented, in-person meeting
capabilities and house high-performance computing resources and data
scientists. Collaboratory resources and expertise are also available and
distributed university-wide virtually and in person. An NSF-funded SCIPE
(Strengthening the Cyberinfrastructure Professionals Ecosystem) project
presently supports data scientists as part of the CGC.


*Position Overview and Key Responsibilities*

We are seeking a Coordinator for the CGC who will be the point-of-contact
for the Collaboratory throughout UMCES, and for external interactions with
other University System of Maryland universities, government and
nongovernmental groups, and other stakeholders. The coordinator will
provide scientific coordination for the CGC and also be responsible for the
operations of CGC related to providing scientific support services to
faculty. Scientific coordination includes: (1) organizing CGC activities
(e.g., training, workshops, newsletter) to maximize the impact and
efficiency of the CGC, (2) assisting in team building for specific projects
that use the CGC, (3) assisting and, as appropriate, leading proposal
preparations (Federal, state, foundations) that involve the CGC, and (4)
participate in activities raising awareness within UMCES and to outside
organizations about the services offered by the CGC. There will also be
opportunities for the coordinator to engage in active research as part of
CGC projects. Overseeing operations includes working as part of a team on
scheduling, project management, and logistics of CGC activities and
ensuring smooth and responsive daily operations of the CGC scientific
enterprise. The coordinator will work closely with the CGC advisory
committees, faculty, and UMCES administration. The coordinator will work
with the personnel responsible for the new building but will not be
responsible for the operations or personnel of the building.


Specific responsibilities include:

- Managing CGC projects
- Supporting Faculty Steering Committee and External Advisory groups
- Coordinating the convening summits, workshops, and meetings
- Preparing CGC communications for UMCES and external audiences
- Representing the CGC at meetings
- Participating in proposals that involve CGC activities
