Senior Technical Officer (Geography and Planning)

In the disciplines of Geography and Planning, the analysis and representations of spatial data in the form of maps, illustrations and visual spatial statistical summaries are essential for teaching and research. The analysis and management of data related to physical and cultural features of the earth using specialised technology is required in order to construct such summaries and maps. Spatial science has become a high technology industry, incorporating aspects of map design and production, as well as specialised techniques of large data analysis and management. It also requires some artistic skills in the preparation of sketches of urban forms and designs, fieldwork site observations and geographical surveying. The appointee will also contribute to the maintenance and development of web-based resources and will work as a member of a team within the School of Behavioural Cognitive and Social Sciences.

Applicants must have: demonstrated high level skills in managing large data sets; demonstrated ability to design and prepare graphic materials, maps, field illustrations and diagrams and a willingness to participate in assisting in the organisation of relevant practical classes and field trips.
