<h3 style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black">Position Announcement: Georeferencing Technicians</span></h3>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black">The Tulane University Biodiversity Research Institute is excited to announce the beginning of a new Collaborative Georeferencing project for natural history collections
funded by the National Science Foundation. The goal of this collaborative effort is to georeference all fish collection records in the FishNet 2 portal that have no assigned latitude/longitude coordinates. The twelve collaborating institutions listed below
will be seeking applicants for a 1.5-year full time Georeferencing Technician who will assign latitudes and longitudes to natural history collections data from locality descriptions using geographic tools. The selected candidate will be responsible for georeferencing
locations assigned to them from various geographic regions within the FishNet 2 network.
</span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black">Each participating institution will have specific requirements, but typically, the georeferencing technician should have a Bachelor’s degree or higher in biology, geography,
museum studies, biodiversity informatics or closely related field, fundamental computer skills, working knowledge of geographic information systems, georeferencing standards and protocols, and be able to work independently and with principal investigators
toward project oriented goals while collaborating with similar personnel at other institutions that are part of the FishNet 2 network. Additional georeferencing training specific to the project needs will be provided throughout the project. More information
about this project can be found at <a href="http://geolocate.fishnet2.net" target="_blank">
http://geolocate.fishnet2.net</a>. As of 22 October 2012 some positions have not been posted online yet. If the online listing for the position you are interested in is not yet available, let us know and we will contact you as soon as it is becomes available.</span></p>
