Job Description
The Environmental Science and Policy Program (ENSP) at the College of William & Mary is seeking a motivated GIS specialist for a newly created position to support the use of GIS in teaching, learning and research across the curriculum. The GIS specialist will lead William and Mary’s new Center for Geospatial Analysis, and provide support for effective GIS use across campus. Position responsibilities include: 1) teaching an introductory GIS course and short GIS workshops; 2) management of GIS Center facilities; and 3) support of faculty and student GIS-based research. The GIS specialist will report to the Director of ENSP, but will support those needing GIS assistance in all departments and programs. This is a non-tenure track professional faculty position.
Qualifications
We seek a broadly trained, academically-oriented candidate with experience in applying GIS methods to research problems, and an interest in working with faculty and students from multiple disciplines. In addition to teaching courses, a central goal of the position is to work with faculty and staff to promote GIS as a research tool across disciplines. This will require the planning and execution of workshops to teach users with varying GIS experience. The position involves managing the GIS facility, including supervision of teaching assistants as well as maintenance of hardware and software (with support from Information Technology). Given the scope of the position, excellent interpersonal skills and experience in GIS teaching/training, project management, and supervisory roles are strongly preferred. Proficiency in ESRI GIS products (e.g., ArcGIS) is essential and programming skills (e.g., the ability to write scripts) is highly desirable. The area of specialty is open, but a M.S. is required (Ph.D. preferred) by the time of appointment.
How to Apply
Electronic submission is preferred. Applicants should submit their application electronically using the procedure provided at http://www.wm.edu/geology/jobs.php. Please include a letter of application, current resume, and the names and contact information of three references, and address these materials to: Dr. Gregory Hancock, GIS Search Chair, Department of Geology, College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, VA 23185. Please contact the search chair at gshanc@wm.edu with questions. Review begins April 20, 2008, and will continue until the position is filled. The position start date is on or after July 1, 2008. The College of William & Mary is an EEO/AA university.
