GIS intern - Metropolitan Planning Council

Who: Metropolitan Planning Council

What: Metropolitan Planning Council (MPC) is looking for an intern with GIS skills to help work on a dataset of parcel-based projects for conducting outreach. Below you may find a brief description of tasks to be performed. Knowledge or experience about Python scripts or data query would be a plus but optional. This is an unpaid position, although resources might become available as the project progresses. We do have a great network at MPC; several of our MUPP alumni are affiliated with or currently working at MPC. If you are interested, please send me a copy of your resume and some GIS work samples. If you would like to use this experience to fulfil your internship requirements and register for UPP590 this spring, I would suggest you respond to me indicating your interest asap.

To be successful, it's important to be able to quickly run basic analysis (e.g identify clusters, proximity to rivers or water bodies, etc), and conduct visual assessment of project aerials for landscape character (e.g. does it look maintained? Is there Green Infrastructure or other stormwater assets on-site?). The outcome would be a map-based dataset that MPC staff will run queries of a basic set of characteristics, and can use to update fields in the dataset.
