Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

The University of Montana (UM) O\u2019Connor Center for the Rocky Mountain West (OCRMW) is partnering with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) to create wetland and riparian mapping across the western U.S. that will be used to inform management decisions and will be integrated into the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI).<\/p>\n

We are currently recruiting Wetland Photo Interpreters with experience in GIS and ecology or a related field.<\/p>\n

The Wetland Photo Interpreter develops and manages geospatial datasets that document and model wetland and riparian species, habitats, landscapes, and impacts to facilitate effective resource management and conservation. The Wetland Photo Interpreter uses ArcGIS Pro software to digitize wetland and riparian polygons on aerial imagery and classifies the wetland and riparian polygons according to USFWS NWI standards using ArcGIS geodatabases. The Wetland Photo Interpreter will also maintain documentation and implement quality control procedures.<\/p>\n

The person in this position is supervised by the Wetland Mapping Project Manager. The position is funded by contracts and grants, will last 4-6 months, and is in-person in Missoula, MT.<\/p>\n
