• I am NOT associated with HR/recruiting in ANY way
• Therefore, these are NOT endorsements, and there are no ‘referrals’ or the like for me
• I am simply sharing SOME roles I have seen – in the hope that they are of use to someone
• As such, I am not (and indeed can not) in any way ‘vet’ these roles (i.e., you are advised to conduct your own due diligence due to hideous, potential risks like fraudulent postings, ‘ghost jobs’, résumé/ATS ‘improvement’ scammers, etc)
• Further, roles listed are in no specific order (i.e., simply as I ‘encountered’ them during the week)
• There is ZERO cost to access this list of spatial / GIS roles
• I am not (really) ‘mining’ US Federal government roles - with the ‘hiring freeze’, uncertainty, etc
• You can subscribe to the (free) weekly LinkedIn newsletter www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7397678824928366594 or also for free at earthstuff.Substack.com - if so inclined

Musical musing: is there a map showing the relative positions of Blueberry Hill, Strawberry Fields, Tangerine & the beaches where one may observe the peaches?

And how do they relate to more urban musical environments, such as the city built on rock & roll or Paradise City?? Does Penny Lane lead to Fascination Street?

Every country has a demographic fingerprint: a distinct mix of age structure, mortality, and fertility (PASFR).

I wanted a visualization you could just roam around in. Drag the shape across the map and watch it morph from country to country, or pull it back through time and watch a single country change.

Constructing and Representing Territory in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe

"Inspired by ideas from political geographers, this book explores the layered and constantly changing meanings of territory in late medieval and early modern Europe before cartography and state formation turned boundaries and territories into more fixed (but still changeable) geographical entities."

🔥 Ah, the thrilling tale of Archie G. Norcross and his vintage fire maps! Because when you're desperate to spice up your life, nothing screams *adventure* like poring over century-old #cartography. 🗺️ Meanwhile, Kerouac's existential crisis on Desolation Peak feels like a blockbuster compared to this page-turner. 📚✨
