information services and resources to support research, teaching and
learning.
The GIS Software Developer will lead the technical effort to develop and
support the GIS applications and infrastructure for SULAIR’s GIS
programs, resources and patrons. The GIS developer will sit within and
report to Digital Library Systems and Services (DLSS) unit within
SULAIR, and work intimately with and directly support the programmatic
activities of the Branner Earth Sciences Library, as well as closely
related units within SULAIR and beyond.
RESPONSIBILITIES
GIS Infrastructure Management and Administration (60%)
• Help implement and manage SULAIR’s GIS infrastructure; this includes
administration of specialized GIS applications including GeoServer,
GeoNetwork, ArcGIS Server, and Open GeoPortal Rails
(http://github.com/sul-dlss/ogp-rails)
• Develop software for the import, management and remediation of
Stanford's GIS data collections
• Work with SULAIR’s server, database and network administrators to
provision the necessary computing systems to support GIS services,
including ESRI components in GIS labs.
Web Application Development (30%)
• Adopt, adapt, develop and maintain software to provide a Web-based
geospatial discovery and access portal, using open source technologies
in an inter-institutional, community-based, development effort.
• Integrate digital mapping and GIS data discovery into a GIS discovery
portal and/or SearchWorks, SULAIR’s overarching discovery layer.
• Integrate (either directly or by supporting integration efforts of
others on campus) additional services into SULAIR’s GIS environment,
supporting mapping and georeferencing applications, novel spatial
visualization tools, mashups, and integration of gazetteers and third
party GIS-based API’s.
Community Participation, Leadership and Consulting (10%)
• Play an active role in higher education and GIS researcher community;
represent Stanford in this community and the development of open source
and consortial service efforts. Consult with technologists on campus
about the best method to realize their projects’ GIS technical goals,
and adapt SULAIR’s GIS services and infrastructure accordingly.
