------------------------------------ The Nature Conservancy, World Wildlife Fund, and Stanford University together seek to fill the position of GIS Analyst for The Natural Capital Project. Our mission is to align economic forces with conservation by developing tools that make incorporating natural capital into decisions easy; by demonstrating the power of these tools on the ground; and by engaging leaders globally. The first tool we are developing models and maps the distribution of biodiversity and the flow of multiple ecosystem services across a landscape. We seek a creative individual for a 1 year position to support application of our models with stakeholders in our demonstration sites; China, Tanzania, California and Hawai?i. The successful applicant will design and implement Arc toolbox elements to run our models and collect and format data. Applicants must have a M.S. or M.A. in geography, ecology, natural resource management, planning or a related field and experience developing Python scripts, conducting advanced spatial analyses (in ArcGIS 9.2 and GRASS), executing grid and vector analysis, automating spatial and tabular algorithms and acquiring and formatting data from diverse sources including remote sensing instruments. The position is based at Stanford University with Gretchen Daily and will require extensive interaction with interdisciplinary teams and substantial travel. Send CV, cover letter and names of 3 references to Heather Tallis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). We will begin evaluating applications on 23 November 2007.
