Position overview

The position of Geo Information System (GIS) Analyst provides an excellent opportunity to utilise satellite data and geospatial technology in tackling some of the HKH’s most pressing socio-economic and environmental problems – urbanisation, migration, climate change, and natural disasters. The position will also demand going beyond technological constraints. Specifically, the GIS Analyst is expected to harness expertise in Earth observation (EO) data and cutting-edge geospatial technology to create basic socio-economic statistics and pioneer innovative solutions for addressing mountain socio-ecological futures.

Under Action Area C, the GIS Analyst will support two workstreams: developing socio-economic profiles on population, migration, and urbanisation projections, among others, to support foresight and scenario analyses in order to address critical risks and opportunities in the HKH region; and conducting spatiotemporal analyses of land use and risks induced by climatic and non-climatic changes which affect the sustainability of mountain settlements. One of the major contributions of the GIS Analyst to these two workstreams would be in creating socio-economic data for the present and future in order to better understand the adaptation needs of the people in the region in the context of impacts on HKH social-ecological systems. Besides, the GIS Analyst will support other assignments related to mountain livelihoods and economies under AAC.

Apart from focusing on the two workstreams mentioned above, the GIS Analyst will also be working closely with the Regional Information Service Team of Strategic Group 3: Enabling Regional and Global Mechanisms for Sustainable Action.
