Map 2: Political Boundaries & Population Density Map

• Design a political boundaries map integrating:
• World countries’ borders (standardized geopolitical lines).

Required Skills:

• Technical Proficiency:
• Expert use of GIS software (e.g., QGIS, ArcGIS).
• Experience processing geopolitical boundary data (e.g., Natural Earth, OSM) and population datasets.
• Ability to handle vector/raster data and projection systems.
• Cartography Best Practices:
• Knowledge of territorial vs. political boundary distinctions.
• Experience designing publication-ready static maps.
• Attention to Detail:
• Adherence to strict government specifications for borders, labels, and metadata.

Ideal Candidate:

• Portfolio demonstrating similar boundary/population density maps.
• Background in geography, urban planning, or data visualization.
• Passion for public service and geopolitical accuracy.
• Global mindset and openness: Ability to approach geopolitical boundaries with cultural sensitivity, neutrality, and awareness of diverse international perspectives.

What We Offer:

• Impact: Contribute to a government project with real-world public policy applications.
