Started by scientific visionaries in 1960, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) was designed as a place where researchers could come to interact and to share expertise, ideas and knowledge with their university colleagues -- a place where scientists could work together to solve the problems that threaten life on our planet (problems related to climate change, global warming, and the ozone layer, to name a few).
At the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) in Boulder, Colorado, our employees go home at night feeling the satisfaction that comes from knowing that the work they do supports an important scientific mission. UCAR's work environment has a way of energizing our employees and we're proud of that. A very low turnover rate is proof that when people begin working for us, they tend to stay for a long time.
Whether you're an atmospheric scientist seeking to help solve the riddles of our complex universe, a computing guru hungry for greater challenges, an administrative support person yearning to contribute your experience, or an individual just starting out on a career path, we think you'll like what you find at UCAR.
We offer TIAA-Cref's excellent retirement plan, educational assistance to pay for work-related degree programs, comprehensive health and dental insurance, flex spending accounts for medical expenses and dependent care, a health savings account, a free RTD bus pass, on-site cafeterias, a convenient child care center, exercise centers and classes, bike lockers and postal services, plus flexible work options.
