Geospatial Jobs #48: May 13, 2024

Welcome to the 48th issue of Geospatial Jobs, a career newsletter focusing on data science and geosciences (🌧climate-tech, 🌽ag-tech, 🌊risk modeling, ⚡️energy, 🛰remote sensing, ♻️sustainability, and more).

⭐️ Featured position:

ClimateAi is hiring a Remote Sensing Data Scientist to work on near real-time flood hazard mapping using satellite data. I shared this position on the issue #46 and it was the most clicked link (over 500 times). If you have a few years of experience building operational flood mapping products using EO & ML, you can be a good fit.
