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!

    Job Title: Senior Application Developer
    PVN ID: GS-1809-002701
    Category: Research
    Location: The GRADUATE CENTER
    Department: Center for Urban Research
    Status: Full Time
    Salary: Depends on qualifications
    Hour(s) a Week: 35

    General Description
    Since 2006 the Mapping Service at the Center for Urban Research at The Graduate Center / CUNY has developed sophisticated, powerful, and user-friendly web map applications for a diverse set of partner organizations, philanthropic foundations, and CUNY researchers. We seek to hire a Senior Application Developer to continue this work developing interactive applications centered around – though not limited to – maps and related data visualizations.

    In particular, you will be designing and building robust applications that address important policy and research issues related to demographics (such as the upcoming 2020 Census and subsequent redistricting initiatives), immigration trends, voter patterns, environmental issues, transportation infrastructure, and more. Our applications are primarily online, but may also include desktop or mobile applications. You can access links to several current applications plus a description of the Mapping Service at http://www.gc.cuny.edu/urbanresearchmaps.

    We work with a mix of open source and proprietary tools and techniques such as Leaflet, platform-agnostic web services, a variety of JavaScript frameworks and libraries, and GIS applications including ESRI’s software suite, MapInfo, and open source GIS packages. We develop our online apps in Visual Studio but can accommodate other options.

    Ideally this position will be a full-time, long-term arrangement. We are open, however, to considering shorter-term, part-time arrangements.
