Database Manager (IS Professional 1)

  • Employer: ENRI, University of Alaska Anchorage
Job Description & Duties:

The Alaska Natural Heritage Program is Alaska's clearinghouse for information on plant and animal species of conservation concern, natural communities of conservation concern, and invasive nonnative plant species. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game's non-game program will partially fund this position to provide ongoing database support for their species of concern dataset.

The Database Manager has the sole responsibility of the operation and maintenance of relational databases used by the Alaska Natural Heritage Program. The two main databases are the Biotics Oracle/ArcView conservation database served from an in-house Microsoft Windows 2003 server, and the SQL invasive plants database housed on a Microsoft SQL server at the University of Alaska Anchorage campus.

The position will also implement web-based query tools that facilitate the distribution of our Biotics data to the web through an interface designed to provide user access, query, and mapping capabilities. This position requires self-motivation, resourcefulness and the ability to trouble shoot and resolve issues without direct supervision.
