Objective 1: Technical support to the REACH Assessment Officers
Objective 1.1: Planning, preparation, and production of static maps 
Under the supervision of the REACH Country Focal Point (CFP), the GISO will be responsible for:
  • Understanding the link between spatial information and assessment data, and proactively suggesting map products based on the needs of the Assessment Officers
  • Identifying and accessing relevant data sources
  • Ensuring that the produced maps meet the requirements of REACH and concerned partners
  • Creating routines and workflows for the production of customized map series

Objective 1.2: Creation and Maintenance of web-based interactive maps and dashboards
Under the supervision of the REACH Country Focal Point (CFP) and in collaboration with the Sectoral Unit Focal Point, the GISO will be involved in:
  • Identifying clear, user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing solutions for web visualization of data based on feedback and needs.
  • Understanding the framework of web applications and dashboards in order to correctly maintain them and apply modifications and improvements at need.
  • Researching and implementing new concepts, strategies, or innovative approaches that have significant impact on user experience.

Objective 1.3: Spatial Analysis
Under the supervision of the REACH CFP and in collaboration with the IMPACT Data and Research Units, the GISO will be responsible for supporting the Assessment Officers by conducting spatial data analysis, including:
  • Overlay analysis of spatial data using a variety of different formats, and non-spatial data.
  • Statistical analyses (e.g. zonal statistics, density analysis, severity analysis) leveraging the geographic component of the information provided.
  • Time series and change analysis of one or multiple variables, highlighting both the geographical and temporal aspects of the analysis.

Objective 2: Research-based technical support to Humanitarian Stakeholders:
Objective 2.1: Remote sensing research
Under the supervision of the REACH CFP, and in collaboration with the IMPACT Data and GIS Units and all relevant stakeholders, the GISO is responsible for conducting applied research (e.g. Natural hazard modelling, damage and change detection) by leveraging remote sensing technology in support of humanitarian stakeholders. These activities will include:
  • Bibliographical research on the research topic, harmonization of available data through Secondary Desk Review (SDR) in the form of static maps, interactive dashboards or Web Maps.
  • Plan and develop satellite-based modelling techniques (e.g. natural hazard susceptibility and early warning) which highlight hazards and risks for the country. Understand, maintain and improve models already present and running, in order to use them upon request.
  • Suggest and conduct satellite-based analyses, such as rapid damage assessments, change detections, natural disaster mapping, and time series. Such activities will be based on a variety of different sensors including multispectral optical sensors, SAR sensors and very high resolution optical sensors.

Objective 2.2: Satellite tasking
Under the supervision of the REACH CFP, and in collaboration with the IMPACT Data and GIS Units, the GISO will be responsible for coordinating the tasking and order of relevant satellite images upon need. This includes:
  • Understanding the type of images needed for each request (i.e. level of resolution and type of sensor), as well as the advantages and limits of these, contextualized to the geographic area and analysis. Understanding the timeline and budget needed for ordering them.
  •  Selecting relevant areas of interest where to focus the image tasking, taking into account the size of the image swath and the type of analysis.
  • Engaging with UNOSAT, in collaboration with IMPACT GIS Unit, for ordering or tasking images and/or analyses.

                Objective 2.3: Engagement with stakeholders
Under the supervision of the REACH CFP, the GISO will be responsible for engaging with stakeholders and attending technical meetings, in order to contribute with the geospatial component to the development of projects and initiatives in collaboration with external partners.
