[Job] [CDI] Senior Remote Sensing/GIS Officer -Geneva, Switzerland

Annonce postée par : ImpactInitiatives (jobs(a)impact-initiatives.org) ---------------------------------------- IMPACT Initiatives are currently looking for a Senior Remote Sensing/GIS Officer to support our teams at HQ. Department: REACH Position: Senior Remote Sensing/GIS Officer [Global Emergency Unit] Contract duration: Open ended Location: Geneva (with up to 20% field deployment) Starting Date: ASAP Please apply directly on the website https://www.impact-initiatives.org/work-with-us/vacancies/senior-remote-sen… IMPACT is seeking a motivated candidate with a strong technical background, who has previous experience working in Remote Sensing and GIS. More specifically, the candidate should have experience with analysis of satellite imagery with different spatial and spectral resolutions for the purposes of environmental monitoring, particularly the assessment of shocks (flood, drought) and environmental degradation. 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. Ideally, the successful candidate will also be familiar with the collection and processing of socio-economic data. Experience in fragile or emergency contexts is a plus. 1) RESEARCH DESIGN / PLANNING: • In coordination with relevant assessment officer(s), support assessment planning in line with project and programme 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; • Produce geo-spatial analysis of assessment areas to be used in developing assessment plans, when required; • In coordination with relevant colleagues, support construction of quantitative sample, when relevant. 2) REMOTE SENSING RESEARCH IMPLEMENTATION • Work with global GIS and remote sensing unit to implement, develop, modify/adapt new RS tools and approaches to specific contexts; • Ensure proper documentation of methodologies and tool development; • Share best practices in accessible format to the IMPACT remote sensing community of practice; • Represent the Global Emergency Unit when it comes to planning and procurement of UNOSAT services and satellite imagery. • Some common tasks are likely to include: creation/aggregation of climatic indicators, trend analyses of spectral/multi-spectral indices, Machine-Learning based classification for land/water monitoring, and change detection analyses 3) GIS RESEARCH IMPLEMENTATION • Evaluate opportunities for additional geospatial analysis within existing research cycles; • Perform spatial/geostatistical analysis to understand if there are patterns beyond conventional levels of aggregation / strata, below administrative levels or with new strata entirely (i.e livelihood zones, environmental features, etc.) • Responsible for analysis which contributes to products related to hazard/environmental monitoring (flood, drought, wind, landslide, etc), as well as how these interrelate with other analytical layers in emergency contexts • Some additional common tasks: automation (via python or R) to integrate analysis processes into cartographic outputs, spatial network analysis, hotspot analyses. 4) DATA MANAGEMENT, CLEANING AND ANALYSIS • Write functions for custom GIS data cleaning/checking; • 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. • Recommend and develop data management frameworks that improve preservation, security, automation, and scalability of data processes (i.e PostgreSQL, cloud-based) 5) DRAFTING OF PRODUCTS • Maintain regular communication with IMPACT Research Department in HQ on progress and deadlines for GIS products; • Ensure the drafting of timely and accurate GIS products, which comply with IMPACT’s guidelines. 6) EXTERNAL ENGAGEMENT • Link with relevant partners to consult and involve them in the GIS components of a research cycle; • Represent IMPACT in relevant meetings/working groups and support the presentation of research findings through GIS inputs to relevant third parties in order to enhance their use and impact; • Follow up on issues identified by partners or during meetings/working groups; • Promote an active use of datasets, GIS products, and research findings by partners and the broader humanitarian community for their decision making. 7) CAPACITY BUILDING • In coordination with the Research Manager, support the development and implementation of capacity training plans for 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=356302#p356302 Pour vous désabonner connectez-vous sur le forum puis Profil / Abonnement -- Association GeoRezo - le portail géomatique https://georezo.net (Message généré automatiquement.
