     Please distribute the following widely.  Position closes OCTOBER 18.


     The USDA Forest Service and Mead Paper Corporation are cooperating on
     a study of the integration of Geographic Information Systems and
     forest sampling.  The Northeastern Forest Experiment Station
     laboratory in Delaware, OH (just north of Columbus) is seeking to fill
     a 9-13 month temporary position to oversee the study.  The primary
     duties would be:  1) oversight and/or development of GIS layers, 2)
     analysis of the forest inventory data, 3) development of models to
     relate the inventory data and GIS layers, and 4) writeup of the
     results.  It is an excellent opportunity to gain experience both in
     Forest Service research and with forest industry in a practical
     application.  An undergraduate degree is required. Candidates must
     have good GIS skills.  The next most important skills involve forest
     inventory and spatial analysis.  Other desirable qualities include a
     statistical background, SAS, Systat, or S-Plus training, and a desire
     to conduct research.  Chip Scott will oversee the inventory design and
     analysis, and Louis Iverson will oversee the GIS and spatial analysis
     portion of the study.  The study itself will be conducted in Southeast
     Ohio on Mead's 100,000+ ac holdings.  The position will hopefully
     start in early
     December or January.  Contact Ivalee Church in Radnor, PA at
     610-975-4245 or Chip Scott for further information.
