Professional Faculty Position:
Geographic Information Systems
College of William & Mary

The Environmental Science and Policy Program (ENSP) at the College of
William & Mary is seeking a motivated GIS specialist for a newly created
position to support the use of GIS in teaching, learning and research
across the curriculum. The GIS specialist will lead William and Mary's
new Center for Geospatial Analysis, and provide support for effective
GIS use across campus.  Position responsibilities include: 1) teaching
an introductory GIS course and short GIS workshops; 2) management of GIS
Center facilities; and 3) support of faculty and student GIS-based
research. The GIS specialist will report to the Director of ENSP, but
will support those needing GIS assistance in all departments and
programs. This is a non-tenure track professional faculty position. 

We seek a broadly trained, academically-oriented candidate with
experience in applying GIS methods to research problems, and an interest
in working with faculty and students from multiple disciplines. In
addition to teaching courses, a central goal of the position is to work
with faculty and staff to promote GIS as a research tool across
disciplines. This will require the planning and execution of workshops
to teach users with varying GIS experience.  The position involves
managing the GIS facility, including supervision of teaching assistants
as well as maintenance of hardware and software  (with support from
Information Technology). Given the scope of the position, excellent
interpersonal skills and experience in GIS teaching/training, project
management, and supervisory roles are strongly preferred.  Proficiency
in ESRI GIS products (e.g., ArcGIS) is essential and programming skills
(e.g., the ability to write scripts) is highly desirable. The area of
specialty is open, but a M.S. is required (Ph.D. preferred) by the time
of appointment.

Electronic submission is preferred.  Applicants should submit their
application electronically using the procedure provided at
http://www.wm.edu/geology/jobs.php. Please include a letter of
application, current resume, and the names and contact information of
three references, and address these materials to: Dr. Gregory Hancock,
GIS Search Chair, Department of Geology, College of William and Mary,
Williamsburg, VA  23185.  Please contact the search chair at
gshanc@wm.edu with questions.  Review begins April 20, 2008, and will
continue until the position is filled. The position start date is on or
after July 1, 2008. The College of William & Mary is an EEO/AA
university
