I just started working with the USGS Center of Excellence for GIScience.
We're looking for a few more student employees. Mostly we need programming
skills but the positions are low enough grade to allow time to pickup new
skills. If you're interested, email Mike Finn at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Primarily
we are looking for people to be based out of the Lakewood Federal Center but
I believe there is some flexibility.

Computer Scientist Trainees



The U. S. Geological Survey is seeking individuals that are familiar with
computer programming and software development on Windows and *NIX platforms.
We are interested in employees for full time summer work and part time work
during the semester (15 – 30 hours a week).



Qualified applicants should have:

   - Familiarity with C++ development using Visual Studio .NET or GCC.
   - Have taken at least one course in data structures.



Experience with the following is a plus:

   - Java
   - Qt
   - Web development using AJAX
   - Familiarity with database systems
   - Familiarity with W3C or Open Geospatial Consortium Standards and APIs.



Computer Scientist Trainees will be supporting various geographic and
cartographic research projects. Two projects with immediate need are:



- User-Centered Design for Web Services

   - Objective: Design of a human intuitive interface for one (or more)
   viewers for *The National Map* access viewers (or portal) to all USGS
   data



   - Approach: Design Web interface and services. Develop a viewer for *The
   National Map *based on the results of a user survey and the design.





 - Further enhancement to the Interface between the Agricultural Non-Point
Source (AGNPS) Pollution Model and the ERDAS Imagine Geographic Information
System (GIS)



-- Background: The U.S. Department of Agriculture developed the AGNPS
pollution model. This model has been used extensively by scientists
conducting hydrologic or water quality analyses using computer modeling in
an attempt to further understand the complex problem of managing non-point
sources of pollution in a watershed hydrology domain. The USGS has developed
a unique Windows-based program, the AGNPS Data Generator (*ADGen*) to
simplify the task of preparing and creating the input for AGNPS through an
interface with ERDAS Imagine.





Interested persons should send a resume to Michael P. Finn, Research
Cartographer, at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
