Working With Us

At UCAR, our staff understands the importance of collaboration and the excellence it takes to support scientific research. We take pride in our highly educated workforce - a staff that values learning, thinking, and contributing to the body of knowledge involving climate, weather and atmospheric science.

We hire the best and the brightest to support UCAR's mission: understanding our changing Earth system, educating about the atmosphere and related sciences, supporting a global community of researchers, and benefiting society through science and technology. Dozens of NCAR scientists and staff shared in the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize through their work for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The prize was given to both the IPCC and to former Vice President Al Gore.

UCAR rewards the hard work of its employees with a generous TIAA-Cref retirement plan, comprehensive health insurance benefits, educational assistance for work-related degrees, and a convenient child care center.

UCAR ranked among the top ten large employers (and only non-profit) for two consecutive years when it was selected as one of the Best Companies to Work for in Colorado.
