Dear Colleagues,

I am reaching out to share a consulting opportunity with the University of Nevada, Reno Libraries. As the Earth Science GIS & Maps Librarian at UNR, I’m leading a strategic planning grant for a statewide Nevada Historical and Environmental Geospatial Repository, a project funded by IMLS through a LSTA grant.

This initiative represents the first phase of a long-term vision to build a public, statewide digital resource that provides improved access to historical and environmental maps and geospatial data for researchers, educators, state agencies, tribal organizations, and the broader public across Nevada.

About the Consulting Role

I’m seeking someone with experience with geospatial platform development to serve as a Geospatial Repository Consultant. The consultant will advise on technical design, metadata standards, infrastructure planning, and sustainability strategies, and will contribute directly to the development of the strategic plan’s final report.

Compensation: $125/hour | 100 hours total 

Engagement: project-based for 4 – 6 months

Location: Remote

Key Areas of Work

• Technical platform evaluations and recommendations (GeoBlacklight, ArcGIS Hub, or similar systems)
• Metadata and interoperability guidance (Dublin Core, Aardvark, ISO 19115, FGDC CSDGM)
• Sustainability and infrastructure planning based on peer institution models.
• Geospatial repository workflow prototyping
• Formal written review and feedback on the final strategic plan draft

Ideal Candidate

I am looking for someone with hands-on experience in geospatial platform development, digital repository design, or GIS infrastructure planning, ideally in an academic, library, or institutional setting. Has experience working collaboratively with faculty, librarians, or state/tribal partners.

Interested?

If you or someone you know may be a good fit, I would love to connect. Please feel free to reach out directly or forward this message to relevant colleagues and networks. Interested candidates are welcome to send a brief statement of interest and CV to:

Chrissy Klenke – cklenke@unr.edu

A full position description is available upon request. I am happy to answer any questions about the project, the scope of work, or the application process.
