Who are we?
We are the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) - the UK's centre of excellence for oceanographic sciences. We are a national research organisation, delivering integrated marine science and technology from the coast to the deep ocean.
We are made up of a dynamic and vibrant community whose focus is on improving the world in which we live. Our work is balanced by our strong sense of purpose, values and behaviours and an unwavering commitment to a ‘one NOC’ approach.
We have a rich history dating back to 1949, and our future has never looked more exciting as we aim to be the world’s most innovative oceanographic institution.
About the role
The British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC), part of the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), provides a complete end-to-end data management service for UK marine data collected from a wide range of observational platforms, including fixed-position monitoring stations, Autonomous Unmanned Vehicles, and research expeditions carried out in the oceans across the globe.
As a Band 7 Marine Data Manager, you will work in our team of data managers and carry out routine data management tasks to ensure that the data we hold in BODC can be reused by others well into the future. You will provide a data management service to a diverse range of marine research projects. Marine science research expeditions generate large volumes of complex multi-disciplinary data. To ensure the long-term availability of these datasets to scientists, policy makers, industry and the public, BODC quality controls, curates and makes them available for reuse. This role involves processing the data through the complete date life cycle, from collection to making it available online for reuse by others.
About you
To be successful in this role you will need to understand the value of sharing quality marine science data. You will have a degree or post-graduate qualification in physical, environmental, earth or marine sciences with experience of working with scientific datasets and a keen attention to detail. Well-developed computer skills will be required, ideally including some scientific programming experience. Good communication, planning and problem-solving skills are highly desirable, as is an understanding of project management.
Why the NOC?
We offer a generous set of benefits including 28 days annual leave, plus 3.5 local closure days and 8 public bank holidays, and a contributory Group Personal Pension Plan.
We promote an inclusive and supportive environment where our people can meet their full potential.
The NOC is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all sections of the community. There is a guaranteed interview scheme for suitable candidates with a disability and we welcome applications from ethnic minorities currently under-represented. The NOC is an Investors in People organisation.
Location
This position can be based in Southampton or Liverpool. Our Southampton site is well connected by public transport and has ample cycle parking in addition to free onsite car-parking. The Liverpool centre is part of the University campus and is only a short walk from the city centre and Lime Street station.
