Objective
Climate Central seeks an experienced, inspired and technically proficient graphic designer or data visualization expert--ideally versed in both art and science--to develop conceptual and data-driven visualizations from climate science research for broadcast TV and Internet. A group of internationally recognized scientists and communicators, Climate Central is dedicated to producing vivid media based on sound climate change science, and has within its first 18 months already appeared on PBS`s The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, nytimes.com, bloomberg.com, TIME.com, Newsweek and Scientific American. We will begin this Princeton, NJ position as a 90-day contract; successful performance will lead to full-time hire.
Description
Climate change presents one of the greatest communications challenges of all time. Many words have been printed, but Climate Central aims to develop an unmatched collection of clear, compelling, and science-based graphics and animations to tell the story visually. We are currently expanding capacity in this area.
The Designer will collaborate with staff scientists and producers, as well as design colleagues, to produce static graphics and end-to-end broadcast-quality animated visualizations tailored for a general audience. Each product must be accessible and understandable, yet vivid and scientifically rigorous.
The position will involve the development, maintenance, and application of a wide variety of tools for analyzing data and production, with some emphasis on tools for geographical display of information (GIS, Google Earth, Google Maps, generic maps). An important dimension of this position will be working with NASA scientists and satellite data to develop an Earth-from-space “sky witness” collection of climate change visualizations.
For a sample of Climate Central`s designs and animations to date, see the static graphics and videos at climatecentral.org.
Qualifications
Significant experience (5+ years best) in scripting, data conversion, modeling, rendering and compositing, and handling large datasets, is required. Candidate should show initiative and be a self-starter and self-teacher able to work well from high-level direction. We are looking for someone with commitment to excellence, attention to detail, and passion for work and the subject.
Applicants should be proficient with the following tools, languages and data formats we regularly use:
• Maya, After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop, Google Earth/Maps
• Python, Javascript
• ESRI Shapefile, KML
...and it would also be helpful if you are familiar with:
• MATLAB/Octave, VTK, Blender, Imagemagick, Gimp, QGIS, GDAL/OGR, NCAR NCL
• C/C++
• NetCDF, CSV, HDF

To apply, please send a cover letter, resume and link to your portfolio. We are looking for thoughtful, personalized cover letters that demonstrate applicants` qualifications and work style. Send materials as text in the body of an email message to jobs@climatecentral.org; please put "graphics" in the subject line. If you send attachments, they must be in pdf format.
