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: The OpenLab is hiring! (Due Su 4/15/18)

  • The OpenLab is hiring! Please help us to spread the word to your networks. Full details on the position, responsibilities, and qualifications can be found in the PDF below.

    The OpenLab team seeks a current CUNY graduate student to join our enthusiastic team as a Digital Pedagogy Fellow.

    City Tech’s OpenLab (https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/) is an innovative open digital platform for students, faculty, and staff at New York City College of Technology, CUNY (http://www.citytech.cuny.edu/). Built using the open source blogging and social networking software WordPress and BuddyPress, the OpenLab supports teaching and learning, enables connection and collaboration, and strengthens the intellectual and social life of the college. The project is driven by a community-focused ethos, flexible infrastructure, and commitment to openness, and is proud to partner with many initiatives across campus (e.g., First Year Learning Communities, General Education, Open Education Resources) and across CUNY. Since its launch in Fall 2011, the OpenLab has helped to foster openness and experimentation, supporting a growing community, now 24,000+ members strong.

    Fellows will join a creative, collaborative Community Team invested in fostering community through open pedagogy and open digital technologies. Team members gain significant experience in curriculum development, teaching, professional development, the implementation of a variety of digital tools, testing and functionality, and help-documentation creation. Fellows have used the experiences gained as Digital Pedagogy Fellows to successfully apply for full-time faculty and alt-ac positions.

    Hours and Pay: This is a year-round position, 12-15 hours/week, $34.87/hour.

    Start Date: Fellows will begin the position with limited hours in June 2018, and shift to 12-15 hours/week in August 2018. The majority of summer work will be done remotely, with in-person responsibilities starting in full swing mid-August.

    Deadline: Applications should be submitted by Sunday, April 15, 2018, with review of applications and interviews beginning shortly thereafter.

    Application: To apply, submit a cover letter, CV, and representative samples of your digital work to OpenLab Co-Directors Jill Belli ([email protected]) and Jody R. Rosen ([email protected]). Please note your anticipated graduation date, and any current and planned employment within the CUNY system or for the Research Foundation of CUNY.
