ADWR is seeking a Hydrogeologist Associate to join the Supply and Demand Team within the Statewide Planning Section.
Under the overall supervision of the Statewide Planning Supervisor, the Hydrologist Associate serves as a team lead for developing supply assessments for each of the 51 groundwater basins in the state. This position will act as a go-to resource for others on the Supply and Demand team seeking hydrology expertise. Whether leading a team or working independently, the Hydrologist Associate is a technical expert responsible for developing new approaches to analyze complex hydrologic conditions across Arizona. This position will be a subject expert matter and is expected to represent the agency at internal and public-facing meetings. Writing technical reports and policy documents based on the findings of the Supply and Demand team, which are suitable for publication and presentation to the scientific community, is also a portion of this position.
This position will also participate in complex, interdisciplinary projects that require deep collaboration, a willingness to learn and challenge assumptions, and an awareness of the sensitive nature of water issues.
A successful candidate is experienced in groundwater flow modeling, has an understanding of Arizona’s water resources, and is looking for an opportunity to play an active role in applying and developing mechanisms for quantifying available groundwater supplies in Arizona’s groundwater basins, and communicating these uncertainties to decision-makers and stakeholders.
A hybrid work schedule (some work in the office and some work from home) is available for this position.
