The role of GIS Research Assistant is to assist in developing and
adapting an existing GIS based model for urban fire spread using AML
(Arc Macro Language). 

Location Wellington 
Term of Contract Fixed Term of 7 Months 
Closing Date 21 May 2008 
Position Overview Research Assistant (7 month fixed term position) 
June-Dec 2008. 

For project on "Development of GIS Models for Post Earthquake Fire
Spread" at Victoria University of Wellington.
