Geospatial Jobs #22: Feb 23, 2022
Glad to be back with the 22nd issue of Geospatial Jobs. As I was expecting earlier (and also wrote about it in the December issue), the job market is really hot🔥 now and there are so many amazing opportunities out there. Multiple startups have raised considerable funding in the past few months and many companies are hiring talents to join them. It is a great time to be working in the geospatial industry (not to jinx it!).
For those of you who are new to this, Geospatial Jobs is a ~biweekly career newsletter with ~1600 subscribers that is focused on data science and geosciences (🌧climatetech, 🌽agtech, 🌊risk modeling, ⚡️energy, 🛰remote sensing, ♻️sustainability, and more). Please note that the positions listed here are just a handful of opportunities that I encounter (mostly on LinkedIn and Twitter, and sometimes people share them with me). Therefore, if you are interested to find more opportunities, you can take look at the previous issues and see if the companies listed have any open positions now.
If you think this effort is helpful, feel free to share it with your friends and colleagues.
