*RESEARCHER GROUNDWATER HYDROLOGY*
New Delhi, India

 *The Person and the Job:*
If you have obtained a PhD in groundwater hydrology or a related field and
wish to contribute to improving the management of natural resources in
the developing countries of Asia and Africa, a Researcher position with the
International Water Management Institute (IWMI) could be just the right
assignment for you. You will be responsible for carrying out data-driven,
groundwater modeling studies across a range of spatial scales and settings
at various locations across South Asia to better understand groundwater
processes and offer practical solutions in a multi-disciplinary research
environment. The position holder will be based at the New Delhi Office of
IWMI in India and will report to the Principal Researcher, Groundwater
Management.

*You will:*

• undertake groundwater modeling to quantify water balance components and
perform scenario analyses in problems related to:
   o regional groundwater flows across national boundaries;
   o surface water-groundwater interactions;
   o watershed development programs/managed aquifer recharge; and
   o climate change and land-use impacts.

• analyze large historic datasets to assess regional groundwater flows
across state and national boundaries;

• assist interpretation and analysis of geologic and hydrogeologic data to
build conceptual models of the groundwater regime;

• design and execute three-dimensional groundwater models under the
guidance of senior researchers at IWMI to understand and quantify spatial
and temporal recharge and discharge mechanisms;

• assist in the development of policies to help improve groundwater
management in areas where groundwater is the prime source of irrigation
water;

• apply GIS and remote sensing tools, methods and datasets for mapping
watershed development and climate-related impacts on land use
and geohydrology; and

• prepare research reports and journal articles for publication in addition
to conference/seminar papers.



*You must possess:*


• a PhD in the field of hydrogeology/environmental/irrigation/civil
engineering or a closely related water resources discipline;

• a high level of competency in groundwater modeling and the use of
quantitative methods to solving groundwater problems;

• experience in modeling surface water and groundwater interactions;

• experience in field research and translation of findings into innovative
conceptual and/or quantitative models;

• proficiency in industry standard groundwater modeling software (MODFLOW
and/or FEFLOW);

• competency in the application of GIS and remote sensing techniques to
hydrological and geohydrological problems;

• experience in modeling surface water and groundwater interactions using
numerical groundwater (flow) models, preferably in a range of settings and
spatial scales;

• ability to capture and collate complex datasets from electronic and print
databases, and synthesize these to address real-world issues;

• ability to develop pre-processors for data manipulation and analysis
using Excel, Access, SURFER, etc.;

• ability to independently design and conduct field research;

• ability to work in a team with people from different cultural and
professional backgrounds;

• strong analytical skills and a learning attitude;

• strong oral and written communication skills;

• record of publications, which include articles in international
peer-reviewed journals;

• willingness to live and work in developing countries, particularly India;
and

• willingness to travel.

 *It would be useful if you have:*

• a desire to better understand the water issues confronting the poor;

• knowledge of soil-water or surface water hydrology principles and models;

• experience in conservative/reactive solute transport modeling; and

• experience with modern software languages and code development.

 This is an internationally recruited position with a competitive salary
and benefits package, which includes a housing allowance, transport,
education, shipping assistance, annual home leave, retirement and health
insurance package. IWMI’s policy is to appoint staff initially on
three-year contracts which are subject to renewal, depending on performance
and the Institute’s needs.

 The International Water Management Institute (www.iwmi.org) is a
non-profit, scientific organization engaged in research and capacity
building activities for developing countries. Our mission is to overcome
poverty through better management of land and water resources. Working with
diverse partners and supported by the Consultative Group on International
Agricultural Research (www.cgiar.org), IWMI seeks to translate its research
findings into actionable recommendations for policymakers, resource
managers and poor rural communities. IWMI is based in Sri Lanka and has
regional offices in 12 countries in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.

 IWMI is an equal opportunity employer and is keen to further diversify its
staff in terms of both gender and nationality.

Please submit your application on-line at:

Complete Application Form + attach your résumé + attach your letter which
addresses IWMI’s requirements shown above with names and email addresses of
3 professional referees, to be contacted if you are short-listed.
