*Position Overview*:

The Conservation Biology Institute (CBI) is a growing non-profit
organization, dedicated to providing scientific and technical expertise to
support the conservation and recovery of biological diversity. The spatial
data manager will be responsible for coordination and maintenance of all
spatial data for the organization, which relies heavily on GIS data for
nearly all projects. This includes managing a large collection of
project-related data internal to the organization as well as curating a
large and growing spatial data library as part of our online Data Basin
platform (databasin.org). Working in a team environment, the spatial data
manager will lead the development and implementation of geographic data
management policies and procedures for the organization (e.g., metadata
standards, file management, and data QA/QC) and support other science and
technical staff in data management and coordination.

This position requires someone who is detail-oriented and passionate about
geospatial data and documentation. The Conservation Biology Institute is
looking for someone who will demonstrate considerable initiative in
understanding how data are created, processed, and how they are best
organized and archived. The terms "data librarian", "data archaeologist",
and "herding cats" should have special meaning to you.

*Primary Responsibilities*:

   - Develop new strategies and carry out established spatial data and
   metadata handling procedures for all CBI projects
   - Develop and manage master databases of spatial data (e.g., GDB,
   NetCDF, shp, img, etc.) and associated files for projects
   - Work with staff to provide internal data access mechanisms (e.g.,
   ArcSDE technology, etc.) for local and remote staff
   - Assist staff in preparing, managing, documenting, formatting, and
   distributing spatial data and metadata to project clients and stakeholders

*Required Qualifications and Experience*:

   - Master’s degree in Information Science, GIS, related field, or 4 years
   or more of related experience.
   - Familiarity with a variety of spatial data formats (e.g., ArcGIS
   vector and raster, NetCDF)
   - Understanding of database concepts and software (e.g., ArcSDE,
   PostgreSQL)
   - Knowledge of spatial data management, GIS, and data processing (ArcGIS
   10+ pref.)
   - Working knowledge of scripting languages (esp. Python, SQL, and
   general shell scripting)


*Preferred Experience:*

   - Track record of successful data management system implementation
   - Experience designing and implementing ESRI Enterprise ArcSDE
   geodatabases
   - Experience applying metadata standards (esp. ISO 19115, FGDC)
   - Experience with version control software (esp. git and mercurial)
   - Understanding of OS X, Windows, and esp. LINUX operating environments
