We are looking for a geospatial analyst with a strong background in GIS and remote sensing, demonstrated skills working with ArcGIS ModelBuilder and Google Earth Engine (GEE), the ability to communicate results clearly to expert and non-expert audiences, and an interest in working closely with a core team to translate cutting-edge science into effective, real world conservation solutions. You will work on a diverse set of projects alongside other team members to acquire and evaluate spatial data, create metadata, perform robust, innovative spatial modeling and remote sensing analyses, document your methodologies/code, and clearly communicate results through writing, visualizations, and maps to a diverse audience, including decision-makers and non-scientists. While this position is focused on core technical GIS, remote sensing, and spatial modeling tasks, there is an opportunity for coordinating with clients and stakeholders, grant writing, and project management, in alignment with the candidate's skills and organizational needs. Projects can span terrestrial applications, as well as freshwater and marine systems; a growth area for CBI is spatial planning for renewable energy development and sustainable recreation management. Position is full-time permanent, remote optional.

We are looking for applicants with 2+ years of real-world work experience in geospatial analysis and remote sensing applications, with a post-baccalaureate GIS certificate or M.S. preferred. You should be knowledgeable in GIS and remote sensing, and proficient in ESRI ArcGIS (incl. ModelBuilder) and the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. You should be comfortable working with diverse spatial and tabular data, as well as independently learning and applying new approaches/tools on-the-job. We use the following technologies in our work: ArcGIS, GEE, EEMS, Python, R, and various other GIS tools and software libraries, (e.g. Maxent, Marxan, LANDIS-II, QGIS). We often take an iterative approach to project work, which requires close collaboration with team members to undertake analysis/modeling and to deliver results to clients through writing, visualizations, and maps. 

The salary range for this position is $65k - $75k depending on experience. Benefits include: medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance; paid vacation, holiday, and sick days, employer matched Simple IRA retirement plan, and flexible work schedules.
