Research Analyst - Hydrology

Purpose

The CEEW’s sustainable water programme informs policy-making for the sustainable development of water resources and their effective management through research in the areas of: mainstreaming circular economy in used water management through planning for treated water reuse and water bodies rejuvenation; enabling water security under changing climate through developing pathways for resilient water systems; and assessing policy coherence for inclusive water and allied resources governance; and water accounting based planning.

The programme is looking to hire a Research Analyst (RA) with a fundamental understanding of hydrological modelling and the use of GIS and remote sensing for data collection and analysis. The RA will primarily be responsible for data collection and analysis, providing support in hydrological modelling and preparing water balance and accounts. Additionally, the RA will review relevant national policies, programmes, and other national and international literature related to climate change and water resources management. Candidates with an academic background in water resources, hydrology, remote sensing, or GIS are strongly encouraged to apply
