I’ll introduce a new section on the “Geospatial Talk” blog called Jobs. Each month I’ll describe 5 GIS or Geo-related jobs around the world. This month selection includes:
- Senior GIS Programmer/Analyst (N/A, Anchorage, USA)
- Doctoral Research Assistent (University of Technology Vienna, Vienna, Austria)
- GIS Software Analyst / Developer (CMRC,Cobh, Ireland)
- Geospatial Analyst (Boeing, Saint Louis, USA)
- GIS / Imagery Analyst (Thermopylae Sciences & Technology, Arlington, USA)
Senior GIS Programmer/Analyst
Company: N/A
Location: Anchorage, AK (USA)
Task: Seeking candidates for a Sr. GIS Programmer/Analyst position (preferably with Project Manager experience). The client is an established, stable, and growing organization in Alaska.
Requirements: 5+ years of experience in ESRI ArcGIS products, ArcIMS, ArcObjects, GIS Server, Spatial Database Engine (SDE) and Java, or .Net development with ArcSDE. This senior position requires the ability to lead development teams and work directly with clients to implement best-of-class GIS solutions. Desired: Stable work history, experience in the oil and gas industry is a plus; be self-directed; have good communication and people skills; have the ability to see other opportunities with clients (i.e. sales).

Doctoral Research Assistent (2x)
Company: University of Technology Vienna
Location: Vienna, Austia
Task: The Department of Geoinformation and Cartography at the Vienna University of Technology (http://www.geoinfo.tuwien.ac.at/) invites applications for two doctoral research assistant positions in Geographic Information Science (GIScience). We seek individuals whose research interests include (but are not limited to) areas such as qualitative and/or quantitative spatial analyses, spatial cognition, spatial ontology, spatial statistics, user interface design for GI technologies. In particular, we hope to advance some of the following topics: 1.Modeling processes in GIS, possibly with the integration of partial differential equations to describe processes and linkage to finite element software (extending a completed Ph.D. thesis); can we use data from time series to calibrate the process description and redefine GIS as spatial simulation machine? 2.Extend the use of ontologies beyond data integration to automate the construction of graphical user interfaces: What are the semantics of communication between user and GIS? How do they relate to ontologies, database schema and other formal description of semantics? 3.GIS with 3D (and 3D and time): a novel, essentially dimension independent geometric data model that serves multiple resolutions (resulting from a Ph.D. close to completion) should be used to construct essential parts of a GIS (e.g., modeling buildings, geological formation.)
Requirements: The successful candidates must demonstrate a strong interest in research leading to a Ph.D. and will have opportunities to gain teaching experience. We expect an M.Sc. in GIScience, Surveying and Mapping, Computer Science, or Geography; a good background in mathematics and the ability to program is required (knowledge of Haskell or another functional language, a plus), as well as good command of English. The term of appointment is 4 years, in which time the completion of a Ph.D. is expected. International networking is part of our work environment: we cooperate with other GIScience research labs in Europe and other parts of the world, participate in 2 COST projects and other European research projects and encourage attendance in GIScience conferences. Applicants should send a letter of application that reviews and documents their qualifications, curriculum vitae, and contact information for three referees to: Andrew Frank, Chair, Department of Geoinformation and Cartography, Gusshausstrasse 27-29 E127, 1040 Vienna, Austria. Email applications will be accepted, preferably before end of February. Email to frank@geoinfo.tuwien.ac.at. Both positions have been already funded, and the review of applications will begin immediately. The starting date of each position is negotiable, preferably early summer.

GIS Software Analyst/Developer
Company: UCC’s Coastal and Marine Resources Centre (CMRC,http://cmrc.ucc.ie/)
Location: Cobh, Ireland
Task: The successful candidate is expected to contribute to one or more of the European projects mentioned above. He/she will be a highly motivated self-starter working very closely with the Marine Geomatics & IT team on the development and documentation of innovative software architectures and solutions for the management, delivery, visualisation, and interoperability of marine geospatial data.
The successful candidate will also be responsible for liaising with project partners, attending meetings, and coordinating and producing project deliverables on schedule.
The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the multi-disciplinary approach fostered by the Centre and will also have the opportunity to collaborate with the wider group of academic researchers in UCC and throughout the Republic of Ireland and will be actively encouraged to pursue independent research.
Requirements: Candidates for this post are expected to have fully documented post-graduate / professional experience, with either:
• A higher degree in an IT discipline, and a good appreciation of earth sciences, • Or, a higher degree in an earth science, along with appropriate qualifications / experience in IT.
The ability to demonstrate practical experience in one or more of the following areas is essential: • Software development methodologies including open architectures frameworks (e.g. RM-ODP) and software analysis, • Programming/web development, • Familiarity with web-based GIS systems, standards, and data management practices, • Competence in report writing, and excellent communication skills (oral and written).
Ideally the candidate will also be able to demonstrate: • Familiarity with EU Framework research projects, • Leadership and project management skills, • Aptitude and experience in developing project proposals,
• Ability to produce high quality scientific and technical papers, • Ability to work as part of a team.
