The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, or UCAR, dedicates its efforts to researching and exploring the atmosphere and the complexities of the Earth’s system. A nonprofit consortium of colleges, universities, and global affiliates, UCAR was founded in 1959 to support the atmospheric sciences. The organization manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), a federally funded research center established in partnership with the National Science Foundation. In the past, UCAR has supported work flexibility by offering part-time, freelance, temporary, and flexible schedule positions in career areas including writing, research, science, administrative, environmental & green, and more. For eligible staffers, UCAR provides a benefits package that includes a retirement plan, health and dental insurance, education assistance, on-site cafeterias, exercise centers and classes, and a childcare center.

Associates at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research contribute their skill, knowledge, and experience to scientific work “that means something,” supporting the mission of science in service to society. The organization serves as a community outreach, education, and research resource for the atmospheric and Earth system science community across the U.S. and internationally. As part of its mission, UCAR provides cutting-edge research, observing, and computing facilities used by its own in-house scientists, as well as in support of research being conducted by scientists worldwide. The organization’s work is primarily in scientific areas including climate, weather, water, air quality, and sun-earth connections.
