Dear all,
The Pennsylvania State University Libraries invites applications for the

member of the Donald W. Hamer Center for Maps and Geospatial Information
team to support open source software, open data, and web-mapping solutions

University. S/he will provide expert guidance through one-on-one and small
group consultation services, develop and deliver guest lectures and
workshops, and will be active in the community of geospatial scholars and
professionals at the university. The Analyst will advocate for open
geospatial solutions to spatial problems and promote successes at the
university. S/he will develop and complete independent and/or collaborative
demonstration projects of broad interest and/or high impact to raise the
profile of open source geospatial softwares, the use of open data and
web-mapping applications, and/or the value of library print and digital
geospatial information resources. Due to the rapid pace of technological
development in open geospatial fields, professional development is an
important part of this position and the ideal candidate will demonstrate an
enthusiasm and aptitude for learning to use new open geospatial data
sources, tools, and methods. The successful candidate will have a strong
commitment to diversity, equity, respect and inclusion and the ability to
work in a collaborative, team-oriented work environment. Typically requires

equivalent combination of education and experience. Preference will be
given to candidates who have Master’s-level training and/or experience
using open source geospatial tools and open data, as well as familiarity
with the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, Open Geospatial Consortium and
related initiatives. Additional required skills include: proficient skills
using at least one open source geospatial software tool (e.g. QGIS, Mapbox
etc.); familiarity with open geospatial data sources and formats (e.g.
OpenStreetMap, etc.); working knowledge of at least one computer scripting
language commonly used in open source and web-mapping tools in desktop and
cloud-computing environments; foundational understanding of geospatial data
and geographic information systems consistent with at least an
undergraduate-level of training and/or experience; ability to work both
independently and in small results oriented teams; and the demonstrated
knowledge of and commitment to the benefits of diversity and inclusion
throughout an organization. The University Libraries values diversity of
