Department: REACH Position: Remote Sensing/GIS Officer Contract duration: 6 months Location: Amman, Jordan Starting Date: ASAP Please apply directly on the website: https://www.impact-initiatives.org/work-with-us/vacancies/remote-sensing-gi… IMPACT is seeking a candidate with a strong technical background, who has previous experience of working in the sphere of Remote Sensing (RS) and GIS/Cartography. More specifically, the candidate should have experience of working on at least one of: analysis of satellite imagery with different spatial and spectral resolution for the purposes of climate, agricultural and water resource monitoring; collection and processing of socio-economic data. The candidate should understand concepts of cartographic design and be experienced in presentation of the results of spatial analysis using static and interactive mapping products. The RS/GIS Officer responsibilities include the following: RESEARCH PLANNING • In coordination with relevant assessment officer(s), support assessment planning in line with project and program objectives and with IMPACT’s research cycle and other relevant guidelines; • Contribute to draft assessment ToRs with a specific focus on the analysis plan, and related remote sensing and geospatial analysis, as well as data management plan; • Perform geo-spatial analysis of assessment areas to be used in developing assessment plans, when required; • In coordination with relevant assessment officer(s), support construction of quantitative sample, when relevant; REMOTE SENSING RESEARCH IMPLEMENTATION • Plan, develop and implement satellite-based modelling techniques which highlight hazards and risks for the country, e.g., change detection, Machine Learning-based classification, and time series analysis. Such activities will be based on a variety of different sensors including multispectral optical sensors, SAR sensors and very high resolution optical sensors; • Understand, maintain and improve models already present and running, in order to use them upon request; • Evaluate opportunities for additional remote sensing analysis within existing research cycles; • Ensure proper documentation of methodologies and tool development. RS/GIS RESEARCH IMPLEMENTATION • Perform spatial/geostatistical analysis to understand patterns that are beyond conventional levels of aggregations such as administrative levels, i.e., patterns that are within livelihood zones, environmental features, etc.; • Contribute to products related to hazard/environmental monitoring (e.g., flood, drought) and analyse how these interrelate with other analytical layers; • Automation of workflows to integrate analysis processes into cartographic outputs, spatial analyses, etc. DATA MANAGEMENT, CLEANING AND ANALYSIS • Ensure that all collected data is stored in line with IMPACT’s Data Management Guidelines, and with the ToRs (data management plan Annex); • Ensure that data is revised and cleaned, and that all revisions are recorded; • Conduct spatial analysis on collected data as per ToRs; • Ensure that data and its spatial analysis are validated by IMPACT HQ before product drafting stage; • Ensure that data and its analysis do not contain personal or other sensitive information and are validated by IMPACT HQ before sharing to external parties; • Ensure the quality and accuracy of technical information provided as well as the confidentiality and protection of collected information. • Development and maintenance of country-level databases for the consolidation of all assessment related and RS/GIS data in country. DRAFTING OF PRODUCTS • Ensure accurate linkages between spatial databases and assessment data; • Ensure that the RS/GIS products meet the requirements of IMPACT and concerned partners; • Maintain regular communication with IMPACT HQ on progress and deadlines for RS/GIS products; • Ensure the drafting of timely and accurate RS/GIS products, which comply with IMPACT’s guidelines; EXTERNAL ENGAGEMENT • Link with relevant partners to consult and involve them in the RS/GIS components of a research cycle; • Represent IMPACT in relevant meetings/ working groups; • Follow up on issues identified by partners or during meetings / working groups; • Promote an active use of datasets, RS/GIS products and research findings by partners and the broader humanitarian community for their decision making; CAPACITY BUILDING • In coordination with the IMPACT CC/CR, Research Managers and RS/GIS Senior Officers, support the development and implementation of capacity training plans for RS/GIS and other team members, particularly on remote sensing capacities; • Be available to provide regular support and technical backstopping ---------------------------------------- L'annonce est située https://georezo.net/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=356303#p356303 Pour vous désabonner connectez-vous sur le forum puis Profil / Abonnement -- Association GeoRezo - le portail géomatique https://georezo.net (Message généré automatiquement.
