GIS / Mapping Working Group

The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) / Mapping working group is a network of CUNY students, faculty and staff who are interested in sharing methods and techniques, and finding support from others about ways GIS can be used to further research and teaching.

The GIS/Mapping working group is part of a GC Digital Initiatives program designed to create collaborative communities of Digital Fellows, CUNY-wide graduate students, staff, and faculty to meet regularly and share their areas of interest. The working groups provide a sustained, supportive environment to learn new skills, share familiar skills, and collaborate with both the Digital Fellows and the CUNY digital community.

If you are using Geographic Information Systems or other mapping technologies in your teaching and/or research, or if you are interested in mapping your data, or using GIS technology to analyze/visualize your data, we invite you to join the GIS/Mapping working group.

Peruse our mapping resource bank here: https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/gis-working-group/docs/gis-mapping-resources/

For the Spring 2024 semester, the GIS/Mapping working group will meet in the Digital Scholarship Lab, Room 7414, every other Tuesday from 2-4 p.m. Check out our event calendar for the specific meeting dates. Please stop by!

Fwd: GCDF – “Looking for a GRA to work on GIS mapping”

  • Posted by gcdigitalfellows on May 9, 2018 at 12:46 pm

    Hello,
    I wonder if you could reach out to the graduate students affiliated in the
    digital humanities to inform them on this position:

    “I am looking for a Graduate Research Assistant (GRA) who can assist me in
    a project “Geography of resistance: The Spatial Politics of Communist
    Public Meetings in the Dutch East Indies, 1920-1926.” You will assist me in
    producing a set of GIS maps using colonial census data and data of
    communist public meetings conducted in 1920-1926. The job will require you
    to have expertise in using QGIS, including but not limited to
    georeferencing as well as producing new shapefiles and a set of
    publication-quality GIS maps. An understanding of choropleth maps is also
    required. Compensation is $20/hour. You will work for about 10 hours/week
    for 10 weeks in the summer months of June-August 2018. Ownership of
    laptop/computer and QGIS software is preferable. Most work will be done at
    home. (This arrangement is subject to change according to the need of the
    project).​ If you are interested in the position, please email me:
    rianne.subijanto@baruch.cuny.edu.”

    Please feel free to spread the word as wide as possible. Thank you.

    Sincerely,
    Rianne
