management systems for MBARI's multi-sensor oceanographic observing
platforms, for maintaining existing data management infrastructure,
and for developing new applications in support of individual
scientists.

The successful candidate will supervise a team of software engineers
and software application developers on science-oriented data
management projects.  Minimum Bachelor's degree in a physical science,
computer science, or software engineering required. Minimum ten years
software engineering and managerial experience, preferably in the area
of scientific data management required.  Ph.D. or equivalent
postgraduate work in the physical sciences or scientific data
management preferred.  Demonstrated broad experience in software and
database design for scientific applications required.

Excellent communication, organizational and leadership skills
required.  Must be able to work with diverse groups of people within
MBARI and in collaborating institutions. Demonstrated supervisory
skills, and experience with long term, large scale,
multi-institutional projects required.  Should be willing and able to
