DUTIES:

Develop and assist in deploying geospatial hydroinformatics and environmental
web applications using open-source Python-based frameworks such as the Tethys
Platform and web-based tools on cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google
Cloud) to enable the visualization of global hydrologic models. Conduct
hydroinformatics data visualization, analysis, and storage of global hydrologic models,
such as streamflow forecasts using geospatial hydroinformatics tools like QGIS/ArcGIS
and PostGIS. Support the integration of Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards
(e.g., WMS,WFS, WCS) within geospatial and environmental web applications using
open-source servers such as GeoServer and THREDDS to facilitate data sharing and
visualization of geospatial datasets. Coordinate and communicate with clients on the
use and development of geospatial web applications, integrating open-source servers
and standards to improve data discovery, visualization, and analysis.

REQUIREMENTS:

Master’s degree in Civil Engineering, Hydrology, or a related degree. Foreign
equivalent degree accepted. Demonstratable ability to coordinate and communicate
with clients on the development, requirements, and use of geospatial web applications,
and integration of open-source servers and standards to improve data discovery,
visualization, and analysis. Demonstratable knowledge of geospatial hydroinformatics
and environmental web applications development using open-source Python-based
frameworks and deploying web-based tools on cloud platforms. Demonstratable
knowledge of geospatial hydroinformatics geospatial tools such as QGIS/ArcGIS and
PostGIS for data visualization, analysis, and storage of global hydrologic models.
Demonstratable knowledge of Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) (e.g., WMS, WFS,
WCS) for data visualization, and the use of open-source servers such as GeoServer
