The WRRC is requesting applications for a GIS and mapping postdoctoral research position (postdoc). The postdoc will work with partners, including local, state, nonprofit, private, sector, federal, and academic partners, to assist with the development of data analysis and mapping projects, including an update to the Arizona Water Map poster. The postdoc may also work with Technical Advisory Committees to develop data analysis and visualization goals, use ArcGIS to perform data analysis and visualization, work with large datasets, and create maps using an iterative and co-productive design approach to communicate complex data and science to audiences ranging from subject matter experts to laypersons.
