Water scientist

Core responsibilities:

• Apply remote sensing data, in-situ data, and hydrological and hydraulic models to understand water dynamics at the catchment and sub-catchment scale.
• Co-design landscape interventions to reduce flood risk and mitigate drought, and build new habitats in collaboration with your science team colleagues and our team of field experts.
• Gather ground-truth data to validate desk-based model analytics.
• Develop partnerships and collaborations with academic research groups, water companies, and other businesses in the field of water science.

Your work will have a real positive impact on people and the planet by developing nature-based solutions that improve water outcomes, restore ecosystems, inform real-world landscape regeneration projects, improve biodiversity outcomes, and help address the impacts of climate change.

Required skills and qualifications:

• A PhD, or equivalent level of experience, in a discipline related to hydraulic modelling, hydrology, water science, physics, remote sensing, engineering or other similar fields.
• Experience working in Python.
• Knowledge of processing techniques and manipulation of GIS datasets: proficiency in GIS mapping data and software, and experience in geospatial data analysis.
• Experience using relevant geospatial data types, such as LiDAR and land cover.
