Job description

ASRC Federal Advanced Research, LLC (AFAR) is seeking a Senior GIS Analyst to support a potential contract with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Weather Service (NWS) in Norman, Oklahoma. 

The NWS operates a complex, interconnected enterprise of systems responsible for the collection, processing, and dissemination of weather data and forecast products.

  • Minimum of 10+ years of relevant work experience.
  • Bachelor’s in Geographic Information Science, Geography, Geospatial Analytics, Meteorology, Atmospheric Science, Environmental Science, or related, or equivalent.
