WCS is seeking a highly qualified and motivated spatial analyst working in collaboration with WCS’s teams to oversee geospatial data compilation and analysis for the national land use modeling in supporting the DRC Government to implementing its 30x30 strategy. The spatial analyst expert work will include data gap analysis on biodiversity, climate, and human pressures, application of spatial planning algorithms to identify priority conservation areas, and analysis of potential risks, vulnerabilities, and pressures across these priority areas. This work will also include the development of spatially explicit scenarios for implementing the DRC 30x30 strategy. The spatial analyst expert will need to ensure that spatial planning aligns with the DRC land tenure reform and related upcoming law, ensure forestry community concessions and other effective conservation measures (OECMs) are considered during the modeling exercise. The developed different spatial planning scenarios must be self-explained as much extent as possible and made available to relevant stakeholders to support informed and participatory decision making.
As WCS is an equal opportunity employer committed to recruiting and supporting a diverse workforce (qualified women and people from all ethnic backgrounds), interested candidates are invited to submit their CV, a cover letter outlining relevant experience, and a sample of a gender strategy or similar document developed for a previous project.
