Who We Are:

The Earth Science section conducts applied research for commercial and government clients in the areas of hydrology (especially arid and semi-arid environments) as well as structural geology and geomechanics.

Objectives of this Role:

  • Collaborate with Earth Science staff to acquire and conduct technical work in one or more of the following areas:
  • Water resource analyses, ecohydrology, hydrometerology
  • Assist Earth Science staff in expanding the breadth of technical activities (e.g., risk assessment applied to water resource analyses or climate change or flooding hazards; remote sensing applications to hydrology)

Daily and Monthly Responsibilities:

  • Participate in business development (proposal writing), project management (scheduling, deliverables), and technical work in the areas of water resource analyses, ecohydrology, or hydrometerology
  • Present project results to clients and at scientific meetings, and publish results in peer-reviewed scientific journals
  • Mentor junior staff in technical work and business development activities

 

Requirements:

  • Requires a Masters with a 3.00 GPA in Hydrogeology, Hydrology, Geology, Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or related field in science or engineering with related industry experience, PhD preferred,
  • Professional license (e.g., Hydrogeology, Hydrology, Professional Engineer) in Texas or other states is preferred
  • 3 years total in the following areas:
  • 1. Water resource analyses, Ecohydrology, or Hydrometerology
  • 2. Experience in business development including writing funded proposals to federal/state/local government (e.g., NSF, EPA, NASA) or commercial clients
  • 3. Experience in mentoring junior staff in technical work (e.g., modeling, field or lab analyses) and business development activities (e.g., proposal writing, client presentations)
  • Must have experience in one of the following areas
  • 1. Groundwater and/or surface water flow and transport modeling, including experience with relevant software (e.g., MODFLOW, FEFLOW)
  • 2. Application of geochemistry to surface water or groundwater resource analysis
  • 3. Remote sensing applications to hydrology, water resource analyses, or climate change
  • 4. Probabilistic risk assessment or machine learning techniques as applied to areas such as water resource analyses or flooding hazards or climate change
  • 5. Water resources resiliency and sustainability
  • 6. Atmospheric sciences assessment of potential effects of hydraulic fracturing and wastewater disposal wells on water resource availability and quality
  • 7. Karst or fractured rock hydrology
  • A valid/clear driver's license is required
