Excellent Job Opportunity for an individual with GIS and agricultural
knowledge. If you have moderately strong skills in GIS,
agro-meterology, remote-sensing, or crop models you need to apply.
This position is with the prestigious Foreign Agricultural Service
working as an international or domestic agriculture commodity
forecaster. Responsible for monitoring agricultural areas of the
world, performing GIS analysis of historical and current 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 wire
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
(see announcement for details). 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 mentioned areas. In my opinion most
important skills are: computer skills (data manipulation,
spreadsheets, i.e. the type of thinking this involves), GIS (i.e.
ArcView), and agricultural knowledge. In addition experience in
remote sensing, economics, programming, will be a bonus. APPLY! APPLY!
APPLY! - Keep in mind a previous announcement had less than 5
applicants.
APPLY SOON AND PRECISELY ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTION PROVIDED IN THE
