*Geospatial/IT Specialist position open at UC Berkeley’s GIIF*
The Geospatial Imaging and Informatics Facility (GIIF) at UC Berkeley is
seeking a full-time Computer Resource Specialist, who has experience in
both IT/server support and geospatial technologies including Geographic
Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and remote
sensing. The majority of the GIIF’s geospatial projects deal with
natural resource science and management, including both physical and
social sciences (e.g., forest, wetland, rangeland, grassland, urban, and
social systems).
The GIIF supports research and outreach activities of users interested
in geospatial analysis utilizing GIS, GPS, spatial analysis, remote
sensing, 3D visualization, and webGIS. We serve the geospatial needs of
students, faculty, and staff in the College Natural Resources, UC
Berkeley, and entire UC community. In addition, the GIIF reaches out to
K-12 youth groups and the general public.
The person in this position will gain experience in the newest
geospatial software and technology available on the market today,
including state-of-the-art techniques (e.g. object-based image analysis
and remote sensing) and software (e.g. open-source GIS and webGIS
applications) used in natural resource research and management.
*Responsibilities:*
Under the direction of the GIIF Oversight Committee and the GIIF
Manager, the individual in this position will be responsible for:
1. Technical management of hardware and software (50%):
· Develop, maintain, and troubleshoot hardware and software
central to the IT needs of the GIIF.
· Manage multi-user classroom environment.
· Maintain server infrastructure and backup hardware and software.
· Plan for future software and hardware purchases.
2. Train/assist/help users (25%):
· Provide technical support and training to users, including
helping users with specific GIS tasks.
· Provide assistance during geospatial workshops, academic
courses, and GIIF events.
3. Perform geospatial project work (25%):
· Assist with complex GIS/remote sensing tasks, including
research-related GPS, GIS, remote sensing and image analysis, and webGIS
projects. Project work might include geodatabase design and programming,
custom webGIS development, and client-side programming.
*Qualifications:*
We are seeking someone who has 3-5 years experience with IT systems
maintenance, but also has experience in one or more geospatial
technologies. The ideal candidate will have:
* Experience managing a multi-user networked workstation
environment, comprised primarily of Windows 2000/NT/XP.
* Experience istallating, maintaining, and upgrading software
(primarily geospatial software) and hardware.
* Experience with ESRI GIS software and applications, including
ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Server.
* Experience with remote sensing software (e.g. Erdas Imagine,
Definiens Professional (“eCognition”), ENVI) and GPS units (e.g.
Garmin and Trimble) a plus.
* Experience maintaining Linux servers a plus.
*Benefits:*
Salary is $38,652 to $45,432
Health, dental, and vision insurance, and retirement.
