This position within the New York (NY) State Weather Risk Communication Center (SWRCC) will serve as a focal point for creating products and tools for both the meteorologists on staff as well as external partners. This position will also help fulfill external requests that require a significant amount of data manipulation or static graphic design. This position may also assist with reporting where summary graphics are required. On occasion, this position will use their meteorological expertise to assist with SWRCC briefings when needed. Overall, their expertise is expected to improve the meteorological services the SWRCC provides to critical state and other public sector stakeholders. Most NY agencies and authorities do not possess hired meteorologists, which makes the process of preparing for, responding to, and examining impactful weather events challenging. This position will work to fill this gap alongside operational weather forecasters and other domain experts and will contribute to the greater educational and research environment at UAlbany where appropriate. This position may also propose and contribute to externally funded research endeavors, where those endeavors align with the general SWRCC mission. SWRCC appointments are for 10 months per year recurring annually, with the remaining two months being eligible to be filled via research-funded effort.
