The U.S. Geological Survey’s Virginia Water Science Center in Richmond, Virginia has a position available for a strongly quantitative candidate with skills in water-quality data organization and analysis, scientific programming, and statistics. This candidate would join a team of water-quality data analysts and project managers to help address a wide variety of questions related to the flux of nutrients and sediment at multiple spatial and temporal scales. We expect that the ideal candidate would hold a Master’s degree in environmental science or engineering with a focus in water resources; however we would consider exceptional candidates from other fields, and at other degree levels. Near-term tasks would include data organization and programming (in R), supporting the application of statistical models for estimating nutrient and sediment fluxes entering the Chesapeake Bay from its watershed. A fully successful incumbent would see evolving challenges and responsibilities that could include co-authoring and developing applied research projects complementing our group’s current strengths in the areas of flux and trend modeling, urban hydrology, small watershed hydrology, time-series analysis, and analysis of high-frequency water-quality data. Interested candidates should e-mail their resume to Jeff Chanat (<a href="mailto:jchanat@usgs.gov">jchanat@usgs.gov</a>) for consideration.</p>
