A job vacancy for a specialist in spatial databases is currently posted at \
http://ies.jrc.ec.europa.eu/uploads/fileadmin/call-for-grantholders-docs/301045.pdf . \
This is a 3 year post-Doctoral position, meaning to be eligible you will need either \
a PhD, or a degree plus at least 5 years experience.
The MONDE Action of the Global Environment Monitoring Unit undertakes research on \
sustainable management of natural resources in Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) \
Countries in line with the development of EU policy. One of the key initiatives of \
MONDE is to set up a Digital Observatory of Protected Areas in the ACP Region. In the \
context of the project, the objective is to develop and maintain an advanced \
information infrastructure that includes a multi-user spatial database, catalogue, \
web services and interactions with external stakeholders. Information content covers \
a broad range of environmental themes (land cover, climate, vegetation, topography, \
species, habitats), with a mix of earth observation, in-situ survey and map data. The \
focus will be on practical implementation of advanced spatial database technology as \
the basis to manage this information and to develop an expanding suite of \
interoperable web services for mapping, download and geoprocessing, compliant with \
international initiatives such as INSPIRE/GEOSS. The ideal candidate should have a \
PhD in geographic information science, informatics or a related field (or a \
University degree and 5 years of research experience after the university degree \
giving access to doctoral studies). Experience in the field of spatial database \
management is required. Knowledge of interoperability of spatial data and related \
issues is essential. Good knowledge of specific computing environments \
(PostGreSQL/PostGIS, GeoNetwork, MapServer, GeoServer, ArcGIS, Python), and \
recognised geospatial and related IT standards (INSPIRE/GEOSS, ISO, OGC, SQL, W3C), \
is an asset. Good knowledge of spoken and written English is required. The knowledge \
of another community language would be an advantage. Relevant publications and \
presentations should be highlighted, including any relevant technical documentation \
The Joint Research Centre is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to \
increasing the diversity of its staff. It welcomes nominations of and applications \
from women and minority groups.
The job will be based in the Global Environment Monitoring Unit (GEM) of the European \
Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC), with an emphasis on the use of PostGIS as a \
datastore for a wide variety of natural resource data. GEM is located at the site of \
the JRC in Ispra, Northern Italy.
If you are interested, please check very carefully the information at \
http://ies.jrc.ec.europa.eu/Job-opportunities/open-calls/call-for-grantholders.html. \
Closing date for applications following these instructions is 11th January 2011.
