USGS Water is hiring Data Visualization Specialists at multiple levels of experience to contribute to data visualization and science communication efforts at USGS. We seek creative individuals with experience taking complex, environmental datasets and developing static and interactive data visualizations using R, python, and/or javascript. For more information see this blog post: https://waterdata.usgs.gov/blog/viz-hires-2021/
 
These positions are with the water data visualization team, the USGS Vizlab. The USGS Vizlab is a collaborative science communication team that uses data visualization to communicate scientific data and concepts to non-technical audiences through compelling data-driven stories and graphics. See the Vizlab portfolio here

Our Commitment to Diversity, Inclusion, and Transparency

We are committed to inclusive hiring practices that build a healthy workplace where diversity is our strength, and everyone has the support they need to succeed. We especially encourage you to apply if you are BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, have a disability, or are of any marginalized identity. Please read our blog post for details on how the application process works.

Join us for a Bioregional Beer at The Oregon Public House
Apr 06, 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM
​
We'll discuss the online atlas Learning from Cascadia, as well as the futures of bioregionalism in the Anthropocene and a new interactive mapping tool that we will be launching. All are welcome, the first 15 folks to show up will get a free beer.  

Learning from Cascadia, at   cascadia.ecotopia.today, is a set of multimedia maps, bound together on a single web-based platform to create an atlas of the Columbia River Basin and the bioregion known as Cascadia. Focusing on the political ecology connected to this river system, Learning from Cascadia is as much a geography of persons, histories, and collective experiences, as it is a map of locations and sites.

Urgent Need for a Freelance Transit Cartographer. Reply by Nov 1, 2018

0 Comments

Read Now
 
https://humantransit.org/2018/10/urgent-need-for-a-freelance-transit-cartographer-reply-by-nov-1-2018.html

Our firm is urgently looking for a detail-oriented cartographer who works freelance, and who has experience drawing transit maps in Adobe Illustrator.  In the course of our planning studies, we create many transit maps for our clients, all in a similar style like the slice above.

We need someone who can start at once and work quickly under direction.  There is not much room for design creativity, as you will be revising maps whose style is already established.  The job mainly rewards speed, accuracy, and an eye for clarity and completeness.

​I invite freelance cartographers to send us a quick note at freelancers@jarrettwalker.com no later than Nov 1.  Include:
  • Contact details.
  • A resume.
  • A specific illustrative estimate.  Please go to this post and look at the existing and draft network maps for the San Jose area of California.  (Right click on each map to bring up the sharper image.)  If you had been given the completed “existing” map and a set of GTFS files giving routes and frequencies of the planned network:  (a) How long (elapsed days from assignment to completion) would it have taken you to complete the draft plan map at the level of quality shown, and (b) what would have been your price for doing so?  Please think about this in the context of your current workload in Nov and Dec of 2018.  (Don’t ask us what our budget is!  In this example, we are showing you the exact level of quality we want, so just tell us what that would cost!)
  • Some samples of detail-oriented transit mapping you’ve done.  It is helpful if you can tell us how long a particular exercise took.
  • What is your availability (total hours) in November and December of 2018?

​We reserve the right to ask you to complete a very small task, taking no more than an hour, to establish your competence at the type of work we have.  We are likely to have at least 60 hours of work for you as part of this contract.  It’s possible that this could turn into something longer term.

Our offices are in Portland, Oregon and Arlington, Virginia, but you don’t need to be there to meet with us directly, although it is helpful to be on the same side of the planet so that we can interact by phone easily.
Reply by November 1 please, but because time is short we reserve the right to act as soon as we find the right person.  Please spread the word if you know others who may be interested.
