GIS Analyst, Conservation Partnerships-Fauna & Flora International

The Corporate Partnerships team has identified an immediate need for a GIS Analyst to support and develop the growing demand for GIS based Ecosystems Service and Biodiversity risk and opportunity assessments. This is in recognition that all of our partner organisations are using spatial data and GIS as an integrated and mainstream tool for planning and decision making. Many are also using GIS data to identify emerging opportunities in carbon, REDD and future payment for ecosystem service (PES) markets. FFI therefore requires the capacity to develop and utilise GIS assessment tools that can be integrated into Partner Company operational systems. (Deadline 4th December 2009)

Although a member of the Corporate Partnership team, the successful candidate will be expected to become involved in all aspects of FFI conservation­­ programmes including the technical development of maps and other geographic applications, recording of field based research data and providing technical advice to other environmental assessments particularly of carbon, water and climate regulating services.  S/he will be expected to develop and strengthen the adoption and use of GIS for conservation planning and science applications throughout the organisation to assist FFI to further achieve its mission and communicate achievements.

The successful candidate will have a degree in GIS at either post or undergraduate level.  S/he will have at least two years relevant experience in GIS modeling and spatial analysis; preferably for conservation and/or land management purposes and will be familiar with general environmental, ecological, geological, and biological processes.  The successful candidate will possess good communication skills in English, especially for report writing.  S/he will have the ability to assess and prioritise tasks effectively to accomplish projects to deadlines.  The successful candidate will show commitment, reliability and efficiency, with good organisational skills and time management.
