My unofficial Description for the "Crop Assessment Analyst" follows:
interesting analytical or technical position for the right individual
with moderately strong skills in GIS and or crop models, or
agro-meterology, or remote-sensing, etc. You will be working for the
Foreign Agricultural Service as an international or domestic
agriculture commodity forecaster. Responsible for monitoring
agricultural areas of the world, performing GIS analysis of historical
agricultural data and weather data. Tools and data used in the
position include imagery data (AVHRR, Landsat TM, SPOT), satellite
derived vegetation indexes, crop models, GIS software (ArcView,
ArcInfo), image processing s/w PCI, agro-meteorological data models,
web page content and design s/w, graphic design s/w, spreadsheet s/w,
GIS software, digital image processing, weather station data, climate
data, historical agricultural production data, and assessing news
stories. Analysis will cover major grains, oilseeds and cotton
(soybeans, canola, wheat, barley, corn, cotton, peanuts, and sorghum)
of the major exporting and importing countries. Pay for this position
varies with experience, but tends to be very good compared to
industry. Travel (with overnights) for this position is likely to be
less than 5% percent of the time.
I encourage you to apply for this position even though you may believe
you do not have experience in all the areas. In my opinion most
important skills are: computer skills (data manipulation,
spreadsheets), GIS, agricultural knowledge. In addition experience in
remote sensing, economics, programming, will be a bonus. APPLY! APPLY!
