The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is excited to advertise a Physical Scientist position (Term) in their Flagstaff, AZ office at the GS-7 level. The successful candidate will join a group of geologists in the Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics (GMEG) Science Center focused on better understanding the geologic evolution of the Lower Colorado River and eastern Mojave Desert regions through geologic mapping.

The main job duties include: 
  • Scanning, georeferencing, and digitizing geologic information currently captured on analog maps 
  • Compilation and synthesis of digital geologic map data 
  • Production and documentation of cartographic products, graphics, and databases for publication of geologic mapping 
  • Documentation of workflows and creation of FGDC-compliant metadata 
  • Establishment of procedures and methodologies to ensure compliance with a newly developed regional geologic map schema 

In addition to GIS skills, the ideal candidate will also be familiar with the concepts of bedrock geology and geologic mapping. Flagstaff is a moderate-sized mountain city in northern Arizona, situated at about 7,000 ft elevation known for its vibrant community and proximity to a range of outdoor recreational opportunities.
