This is a full-time professional position that sits at the intersection of graphic design, excellence, strategic brand thinking, and user-centered science communication. CIRES is an internationally recognized leader in environmental science research, housing more than 900 scientists, engineers, and professionals who work to understand the Earth system and people’s relationship with the planet.

This role is ideal for a creative professional who understands that great design is not decoration, it is inquiry, strategy, and communication. The successful candidate will bring deep expertise in visual design and a genuine curiosity about science, paired with the ability to write and edit independently and the strategic instincts to translate complex research landscapes into coherent, compelling visual and narrative frameworks.

At CIRES, more than 900 environmental science professionals work to understand the dynamic Earth system, including people’s relationship with the planet. CIRES has partnered with NOAA since 1967, and our areas of expertise include weather and climate, changes at Earth’s poles, air quality and atmospheric chemistry, water resources, solid Earth sciences, and more. Our vision is to be instrumental in ensuring a sustainable future environment by advancing scientific and societal understanding of the Earth system. The CIRES Communications team serves the institute's nearly 900 scientists, staff, and fellows, as well as our partner labs at NOAA's David Skaggs Research Center (DSRC) in Boulder. We produce science journalism, digital content, social media, publications, events, and visual media that connect CIRES research to the audiences who need it most. We are a collaborative, mission driven team that values creative excellence, scientific integrity, and institutional partnership. ### **What Your Key Responsibilities Will Be** *Visual Design and Brand Leadership (~30%)* * Serve as the primary graphic designer for CIRES Communications, producing high-quality visual assets across print and digital channels, including publications, reports, infographics, posters, fact sheets, event materials, and social media graphics. * Lead graphic design for CIRES's flagship print publication, Spheres magazine, and other long-form editorial and outreach publications, including layout, typography, image selection and editing, and coordination with print vendors. * Inform and advance CIRES's branding strategy by developing and implementing design frameworks that enable CIRES labs, centers, and programs to demonstrate consistent visual alignment with the CIRES enterprise while preserving their individual identities. * Lead a strategic redesign of the CIRES brand and logo, integrating alignment with University of Colorado Boulder brand standards and exploring how CIRES's identity can more clearly signal its role as a CU institute, while retaining the character and recognition the institute has built. * Advance and maintain CIRES design templates, style guides, and brand standards documentation for internal and external use. *User-Centered Design for Science Communication Products (~20%)* * Apply design research and user-centered design methods — including contextual inquiry, partner interviews, workflow analysis, and iterative prototyping — to improve the effectiveness of science communication products developed across CIRES and its NOAA cooperative agreement labs (CIESRDS). * Collaborate with scientists and program staff to understand audience needs, synthesize insights, and create communication interventions that activate existing resources, reduce complexity, and improve impact. * Apply systems thinking and design strategy to map the CIRES research landscape — identifying intersections, gaps, and communication opportunities across research areas, tools, and people — to inform both communication strategy and institutional identity. * Facilitate workshops and co-design sessions with CIRES researchers, fellows, and external partners to surface communication needs and co-develop solutions. *Training and Capacity Building (~20%)* * In alignment with CIRES Strategic Imperative #4 (Communications Community of Practice), develop and deliver regular trainings for CIRES researchers, staff, and fellows on graphic design fundamentals, visual storytelling, and available design tools — from professional platforms such as Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) to accessible, no-cost options such as Canva and Google Slides. * Build peer-to-peer design literacy across the CIRES community, helping researchers create more compelling figures, posters, presentations, and data visualizations independently. * Develop training materials, templates, and resources that extend the reach of design capacity-building beyond formal sessions. * Engage CIRES faculty champions and research leaders (e.g., researchers working at the science-communications interface) to co-lead and sustain training programming over time. *Writing, Editing, and Publication Production (~15%)* * Write and edit content for CIRES publications, outreach materials, and digital channels, working independently to finalize written content without requiring input from a separate writer or editor in routine cases. * Serve as a skilled copy editor and production editor for long-form publications, including Spheres magazine, ensuring accuracy, clarity, voice consistency, and publication-ready quality. * Collaborate with CIRES Communications writers and editors on integrated publication workflows, contributing design and editorial judgment throughout the production process. *Cross-Institutional Collaboration and Strategic Communication (~15%)* * Partner with CIRES lab leads, program managers, and communicators to understand their design needs and deliver targeted support. * Support the CIRES Director's Office and senior leadership with high-visibility design and communication needs, including briefing materials, presentations, and special projects. * Contribute to the CIRES Communications team's broader strategic goals, including social media visual content, web graphics, photography support, and event materials. * Perform other relevant duties as necessary.
