Job description:

We come from a wide variety of academic, professional, and personal backgrounds, and combine our collective expertise in cartography, GIS, earth sciences, and software development to build practical and innovative custom products to meet our cooperators’ needs. Most of our projects revolve around developing web-based tools that support USGS science and other federal science initiatives, and range from full-featured database mapping applications to limited scope data visualizations.
Most positions are intended to be full-time for summer of 2024. All positions are paid (rates dependent on location and level of education) and remote-eligible, with preference for candidates in the Madison, WI; Twin Cities, MN; and Washington, DC metro areas to co-locate with our team’s main offices.
