Two Developer Positions available at GBIF

 

The GBIF Secretariat is seeking motivated and experienced software
developers for a 3-4 month consultancy under the overall supervision of the
Head of Informatics.

 

GIS Services

The appointed consultant will develop geospatial services for species
related data.  To provide geospatial services, content from various sources
will be integrated into a spatial database and offered as OGC web services
provided by GeoServer along with custom search, browse and discovery
services to be developed in Java.  Spatial data will be in the form of point
data, polygon data and raster formats, and integration of these spatial
data-types will be required to provide coherent services. Further
information on the position is available on the GBIF news site
(http://www.gbif.org/communications/news-and-events/showsingle/article/job-o
pening-gbif-software-developer-gis-services/) together with instructions for
submitting an application.

 

GIS Client

The appointed consultant will develop a web-based, extensible GIS client
that can be customised for different uses and distributed freely. The
primary use case is a means of visualising information about biodiversity
data from disparate sources delivered through standards-based web services
(e.g., Open Geospatial Consortium). A second use case is as a client to a
transactional OGC Web Feature Service, enabling updates to a geospatial data
store. Several datasets and services relating to African Protected Areas
will be used to develop a demonstration case. An important aspect of the
work will be preparing/packaging a toolkit, documenting its use, and
developing a tutorial. We are particularly interested in hearing from those
with experience in GeoExt, OpenLayers, Flex or other comparable
toolkits/platforms. Further information on the position is available on the
GBIF news site
(http://www.gbif.org/communications/news-and-events/showsingle/article/job-o
pening-gbif-software-developer-1/) together with instructions for submitting
an application.

 

The closing date for applications is Sunday 25 April 2010.
