- Subject: temporary job in Wyoming
- Lines: 41
-
- Temporary Job Opportunity: Research Associate
-
- University of Wyoming
- Department of Botany
- Project: Gap Analysis of Wyoming
-
- Duration: 6 months starting as soon as possible.
-
- Pay: $1500/month
-
- Gap analysis is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service funded project designed to
- identify areas which might contain high vertebrate species diversity on a
- state by state funding basis. Animal habitat is modeled in a GIS (arc/info)
- environment using numerous data layers. This temporary position is to
- help with the development of the vegetation map for Wyoming, which will
- serve as one of those layers. This map is being created using Landsat
- Thematic Mapper satellite data. The satellite scenes are hand digitized
- to delineate zones of homogeneous vegetation, based on a classification
- developed for Wyoming.
-
- The job specifically involves adding attributes to these vegetation
- polygons (primary and secondary vegetation, wetlands, etc) based on
- on-screen "photo interpretation"of the digital data, incorporation
- of existing data and, when necessary, field reconaissance. Applicants
- will be assigned one TM scene at a time to attribute. The job is full time
- for 6 months but hours are flexible. Requires 1) knowledge of the
- vegetation of the central Rocky Mountains in the context of terrain,
- geology and other habitat characteristics that can be inferred from
- imagery and maps, 2) some familiarity with GIS--specifically arc/info,
- 3) Some experience with photointerpretation.
-
- This is an excellent opportunity for an B.S. or M.S. level person interested
- in gaining GIS and field experience in a research environment. Please contact
