Discover Your Future

NOAA's Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML) is announcing leadership positions that will be advertised in the near future. 

GML plays a crucial role in the global atmospheric monitoring community, providing essential information for understanding and mitigating climate change. Our scientists are recognized for their expertise in making sustained atmospheric observations, interpreting those observations, and communicating their findings to researchers and the public.  

We are seeking experienced and motivated candidates for the following positions:

Deputy Director - Boulder, Colorado

The Deputy Director role focuses on managing the research and operational activities of the lab, ensuring operational continuity and effective collaboration among research divisions. The position reports to the GML Director and serves as lead supervisor for two administrative groups and six divisions within the lab.  

Division Leads - Boulder, Colorado

GML has three division lead positions opening. Division leads develop programmatic goals, policies, and operations, as well as oversee fiscal and administrative requirements of their divisions.

These positions are an opportunity for mid- to late-career scientists to lead internationally and nationally relevant research in a lab that conducts high-impact research and provides standards, measurement technologies, and policy-relevant products that guide understanding of long-term change in the atmosphere.  

Ozone and Water Vapor (OZWV) Division

The OZWV Division monitors, analyzes and improves understanding of changes in stratospheric water vapor and ozone. This division uses high-quality measurements from balloon-borne in situ and ground-based remote-sensing instruments to track stratospheric water vapor and ozone changes and to ground-truth space-based remote sensing observations. There is a special focus on the Antarctic ozone hole, although regular measurements of tropospheric and stratospheric ozone are made at locations worldwide.

Long-term Observations of Greenhouse gases and Ozone-depleting Substances (LOGOS) Division

The LOGOS Division measures and analyzes greenhouse and ozone-depleting gases, collected through discrete air sampling, and provides calibration standards that support this work. LOGOS conducts high-quality research, identifies and tracks new trace gas species, develops new sampling technologies and analysis techniques, and enhances sample throughput and standards preparation. There is a special focus on providing policy-relevant information for tracking compliance with the Montreal Protocol.

Global Radiation & Aerosol Group (GRAD) Division

The GRAD Division measures and analyzes solar, infrared and ultraviolet radiation, clouds and aerosols at Earth's surface, measured across global ground networks and in interagency field programs. GRAD conducts high-quality research to advance understanding of decadal trends and variability in radiation and climate forcing from clouds and aerosols. The focus is on long-term measurements, optimizing renewable  energy sources, and boundary layer and cloud dynamics studies.
