CUSP datasets include administrative data from city agencies, researcher analytical datasets, population datasets from the US Census Bureau, and large, streaming sensor, image, and other spatiotemporal datasets. Data management at this scope and scale is an exciting yet challenging area of research. CUSP seeks a research information scientist who has a strong background in the information sciences with sufficient technical expertise to harness new advances in the research field. A successful candidate will be capable of learning new skills and methods to readily adapt to changes in the way that research data centers manage large and complex datasets. This is a full time, yearly renewable position. The research information scientist will be embedded at the CUSP data facility and report to both the Associate Director of Data Resources and Data Strategy at CUSP and the NYU Division of Libraries.
 
Responsibilities: The research information scientist will serve as an information specialist, programmer, and ETL engineer, in order to support the full CUSP data life cycle, including data curation, data ingestion, data discovery, and researcher access. The research information scientist will be responsible for collecting, developing, collating, archiving and communicating information about research datasets in the CUSP data facility.

  • Provide development support for and maintain an internal metadata management tool (currently CKAN); provide functional specifications and development support for internal data discovery tools.

  • Communicate with data facility users about all datasets housed in the facility, providing guidance for users to identify the appropriate data for research questions; this will include documenting user activity to feed into the metadata database.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for data facility users with data access and workspace requests (students, faculty, agency staff, etc.); this includes communication with users prior to submitting data access/workspace requests and internal routing of user access/workspace requests using an in-house workflow management system.
