·        understanding of relational geodatabases

·        familiarity with the USGS Geologic Map Schema (GeMS) map
production standard

·        detail oriented (e.g. data entry, line editing of geologic
reports, geologic review/editing, etc.)

·        quick learner who can help improve and adapt to new and ever
evolving workflow methods


This position is supported by soft-money contracts, and the continuation of
the position is contingent on renewed contract awards for subsequent years.
