Position Overview
The Knowledge Warehouse Curator is responsible for data and knowledge management and support services throughout ERC EARTH in collaboration with colleagues in academic partners and member firms to facilitate the research activities, the translation to commercialization, and the dissemination of knowledge emerging from EARTH activities.

An ideal candidate for this position is someone eager to make a difference in academia by building and strengthening the information sharing ecosystem and mentoring research faculty and students. About Engineering Research Center: Heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) are essential to the quality of life for all humans. HVACR systems are widespread throughout society, enabling transportation and preservation of fresh foods, storage of medicines, and cooling of buildings. However, most refrigerants used today are hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which have high global-warming potential (GWP), with 2000-4000 times the impact of CO2. Combined with high leak rates and high energy consumption, HFCs account for 7.8% of total greenhouse-gas emissions. To address this challenge, a new NSF Engineering Research Center (ERC): Environmentally Applied Refrigerant Technology Hub (EARTH) will create a "sustainable refrigerant lifecycle" to address technical, environmental, and societal challenges facing the HVACR industry. EARTH is a multi-institution, multi-disciplinary team from the University of Kansas, University of Notre Dame, University of Hawai'i, University of Maryland, University of South Dakota, and Lehigh University. Job Description 60% Design, implement, and manage the EARTH Knowledge Warehouse repository.
