·         Exposure to products including GeoNetwork, GeoServer or similar (Red Spider, Deegree etc.).

·         SQL / SQL Server skills, including knowledge of SQL Server 2008 spatial data support.

·         Solutions design and specification.

·         Project control and liaison.

 

For the purposes of related projects and potentially as part of the current project, skills in OPeNDAP, Thredds, NetCDF data format, and related approaches would be advantageous.

 

Conditions:

·         Initially a one year post, with a view towards on-going post.
