This person will develop and train others on how to use and serve web services (e.g. OGC, OPeNDAP, SOAP, DiGIR, GeoRSS), especially with a geospatial desktop (e.g. ArcGIS, GRASS) and Internet mapping (e.g. Google Maps, MapServer, GeoServer). Familiarity with scientific workflows (e.g. ModelBuilder, Kepler), content management systems (e.g. Plone, Drupal), statistical applications (e.g. Matlab, R), and relational database design (e.g. MS Access, PostgreSQL) are a plus.
