Atlanta, United States Spelman College Full time

RTI International’s Center for Water Resources (CWR) has an opening for an entry-level or early career water resources engineer or scientist to support a variety of modeling efforts, watershed-based assessments, and research. CWR’s projects involve river and reservoir operations forecasting, water supply modeling, and hydrologic risk evaluation. As part of our team, your contributions will cover all aspects of water resources systems including collecting and analyzing hydrologic data, performing spatial analysis, and mapping of hydrometeorological data, calibrating, executing, and interpreting results from hydrologic and hydraulic models. Our team includes a wide range of backgrounds, interests, and capabilities, but a common thread is our interest to continue learning and push the boundaries of what can be done to support our field. As a non-profit research institute, RTI also offers opportunities for internally funded research and development to help bring great ideas together for on-the-ground applications to help make a difference in the world. As part of the CWR team, the successful candidate will be exposed to and will contribute to a wide variety of water resources modeling projects. Therefore, the successful candidate should be able to demonstrate and explain skills or exposures through classwork/work experience across a wide range of skills. This position will be based in RTP, North Carolina or Fort Collins, CO but telework is an option. Please apply if you have expertise related to these requirements (experience related to all is not necessary) . If you are adept at manipulating data and can demonstrate an aptitude for hydrologic modeling – inputs, model states, calibration, analysis of results – then you can be a valuable contributor to CWR’s mission of improving the human condition by protecting water resources around the world. At CWR, we pride ourselves on implementing the best and most appropriate solutions for our clients. Our staff members are well-versed in multiple models and modeling systems. The culmination of many of our projects is a water resources modeling system that our clients rely on to make informed water management decisions. CWR will provide training on the specific models and technology we use to motivated colleagues with the appropriate background, education, and aptitude. Our team includes a wide range of backgrounds, interests, and capabilities, but a common thread is our interest to continue learning and push the boundaries of what can be done to support our field.
