The University of Redlands has launched a major, university-wide initiative designed to integrate geographic information systems (GIS) into teaching, research, and administration. Already an innovator in this important field, the University is embarking on a substantial program of recruitment to support its next phase of GIS expansion. As a consequence, the University invites nominations and applications to fill key academic, administrative, and technical positions in the broad area of GIS.
Founded in 1907, the University of Redlands is a private, comprehensive liberal arts institution located sixty miles east of Los Angeles. In collaboration with the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI, whose corporate headquarters are in Redlands), the University recently began planning for a comprehensive initiative to promote education and applied research in GIS throughout the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business, and the School of Education.
Key aspects of this initiative are the growth and development of the University’s internationally recognized, professional GIS Master of Science Program, as well as an interdisciplinary infusion of geographic information science and technology into traditional curricula and an augmentation of GIS-based research.
Each of the positions offers considerable scope for close liaison with ESRI on a range of existing and new projects. For more information, please click on the position titles below:
