  • Analytical skills: capacity to analyze geospatial data, produce meaningful insights, and develop models.
  • Programming / deep learning: proficiency in Python for geospatial data analysis, automation, and model development. Experience in deep learning would be desirable (e.g. pytorch, tensorflow).
  • Ability to work with non-GIS personnel and diverse team members, train them, and mentor them to ensure they can submit data in the desired format with the required level of accuracy.
  • Proven remote sensing knowledge (minimum 3-5 years): experience with remote sensing techniques and software (e.g., Google Earth Engine, ENVI) for monitoring tree planting health and survival models.
  • Satellite imagery interpretation: ability to interpret satellite images to track tree cover, tree health, and environmental changes.
  • Carbon sequestration: proven familiarity with carbon sequestration concepts and methodologies.
  • Administrative capabilities: clearly document all processes, proper procedures, and findings in place.

Expected Outcomes

  • By Month 3-6: draft guidelines for country offices on ensuring spatial and non-spatial data accuracy, deliver online guidance and e-learning module on spatial and non-spatial data and basic remote sensing, complete initial data cleaning of polygon areas and GPS coordinates for historical sites, deliver a report on spatial and non-spatial data accuracy and areas for improvement, provide recommendations for long-term remote-sensing monitoring and improvements, develop survival models based on real-world data and satellite imagery inputs, and contribute to the development of basic NbS monitoring systems.
