You will be joining a team of remote sensing experts at a dynamic start-up to answer the complex hydrological issues our world faces today and in the future.

What you’ll do:

Design research methods for insights into global and regional water issues, with topics varying from water balances to soil-vegetation-water interactions to forecasting water supply demands in agricultural areas

Explore new methods, technologies, and tools to model impacts to the hydrological cycle, including climate change datasets

Collaborate with teams of experts, from fellow geospatial analysts to data scientists to sales and marketing

What We’re Looking For:

Someone who is thrilled with exploring new geospatial datasets and techniques and dreaming up novel ways to form connections to real world hydrological problems

Knowledgeable and effective at applied research methodology – you’re equally comfortable reading peer-reviewed journal papers as you are looking through forums for sparks

Able to successfully communicate scientific concepts to a widely varied audience, both in writing and on calls

A great team player – someone with a point of view, who knows how to humbly express it, and is happy to pitch in when needed

Qualifications:

Deep understanding of global scale hydrology and effects from a climate change perspective

Experience with regional water balances and water balance sheets

Ability to use and develop /modify global hydrological models with a full understanding of the theoretical background

Significant experience with spatial and temporal heterogeneity of hydroclimatic variables and their impact on hydrologic response

Proven experience in multispectral satellite imagery analysis, in a wide variety of formats, sensors, and resolutions for natural resource applications

Extremely proficient with GIS software (ArcGIS or QGIS preferred)

Masters in Engineering specializing in water resources or Geography, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience

Bonus Points:

Programming experience, particularly in relation to geospatial analyses (no preference for language)

Experience in technical leadership, leading project teams, and setting technical direction

Involvement in geospatial professional societies

Salary and compensation

$55,000 — $85,000/year
