Cartography Job at USGS
by Stephen Hanna ~ August 16th, 2010
From Mary Washington Alumna Jacqueline Nolan:
I just saw this job announcement; it closes on 8/26/10. It is a position as a cartographer with the Board on Geographic Names, and looks like they are trying to recruit younger interests to build a knowledge base and community links. The USGS BGN Secretariat is Lou Yost: lyost@usgs.gov; 703-648-4552. In past experience, the student may be able to work out an arrangement with the USGS hiring body, to accept the job, work over the winter and spring break, and then start full-time at the job after graduation. This would be a great opportunity for someone who is interested in working in the domestic and international area. The job is offered concurrently as a “Cartographer” or “Physical Scientist“.
All the best,
Jacquie Nolan

I worked for Lou Yost and his colleague, Robin Worcester, at USGS from 1993-1996 as a summer hire. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the kind of work they do in that group (or at least what they did back in the mid-90s). – C. Scott Allen (Class of ’95) (csallen17@gmail.com)
