Title: Physical Scientist (Associate Environmental Scientist I or II)

Application Review Starts Monday, June 10, 2019

Position Description

SFEI is seeking a talented mid-level physical scientist or engineer to join
our Resilient Landscapes Program and work on projects in tidal and watershed
environments around San Francisco Bay and across California. The position
offers an opportunity to work with an outstanding multidisciplinary team of
scientists on innovative projects that help improve the functioning of
California landscapes for people, plants, and wildlife in the face of
climate change. We are looking for someone who can start immediately.

The successful candidate will work on applied science projects relating to
watershed and tidal ecosystem restoration, water and sediment management,
and climate-change adaptation planning in the Bay Area and statewide. This
position will also play a leadership role in managing projects, coordinating
teams, and working with partners to achieve successful project outcomes.
Primary position responsibilities will include:

*	investigating historical, contemporary, and future fluvial and tidal
hydraulic and sediment processes;
*	advancing landscape-scale conservation and adaptation planning that
promotes resilient riverine, wetland, coastal, and urban ecosystems using a
quantitative approach;
*	and leading projects and managing staff and budgets

The position will require using a variety of analytical tools such as GIS
and hydrologic/hydraulic modeling to understand landscape processes (such as
sediment dynamics, flood regimes, or groundwater patterns; creativity and
collaboration to achieve multidisciplinary project goals, effective
communication with project partners, and writing technical reports and
giving presentations to convey project findings.

Qualifications

Master's degree or PhD in geomorphology, hydrology, environmental
engineering, or related field, with two or more years of relevant work
experience is preferred; Bachelor's degree with 5+ year of experience will
also be considered. The candidate should have the following credentials and
demonstrated abilities:

*	Ability to work collaboratively and with interdisciplinary teams
*	Ability to lead projects, including overseeing staff, budgets,
schedules, and deliverables
*	Ability to synthesize, analyze, and/or visualize information from
qualitative and quantitative datasets using a variety of tools (e.g., Excel,
GIS or other geospatial tools, R, Python)
*	Experience in field measurement, data collection, and synthesis
*	Excellent communication skills; demonstrated ability to communicate
findings clearly in writing and presentations and translate complex concepts
for both general and technical audiences
*	Experience presenting at professional or academic conferences and to
stakeholder groups
*	Ability to maintain excellent working relationships with external
partners and stakeholders
*	Demonstrated ability to produce scientific reports and publications
for both general and technical audiences

In addition, the candidate will have expertise or experience in some of the
following areas:

*	Sea-level rise vulnerability and adaptation
*	Geomorphic and hydrologic/hydraulic processes
*	Relationships between hydrogeomorphic and ecological dynamics in
riverine and tidal ecosystems
*	Groundwater processes
*	Numerical modeling (e.g., hydrologic, hydraulic, water quality,
groundwater flow)
*	Geospatial or geostatistical analyses
*	Fisheries science
*	Landscape change and historical ecology
*	Ecosystem services (e.g., flood protection, heat island effect
reduction, or human health benefits)
*	Landscape-scale conservation and restoration
*	Engaging diverse communities in adaptation planning
*	Graphic design using Adobe tools or similar desktop publishing
software
*	Data visualization using Adobe tools (Illustrator, Indesign,
Photoshop), AutoCAD, Rhino or similar software

About the Resilient Landscapes Program

SFEI's Resilient Landscapes Program develops innovative ecosystem
restoration and management strategies to re-establish and sustain key
ecological functions and services. These strategies are helping integrate
natural and human infrastructure to create systems that are more adaptive to
climate change and other stressors. We are a team-oriented program of 20
interdisciplinary scientists (geomorphologists, hydrologists, ecologists),
designers, and GIS specialists, working closely together and with staff
across the Institute with expertise in water quality and informatics.

About SFEI

The San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) provides independent science to
assess and improve the health of the waters, wetlands, wildlife, and
landscapes of San Francisco Bay, the California Delta, and beyond. SFEI's 65
scientists and experts deliver data, technology, and tools that empower
government, civic and business leaders to create cost-effective solutions
for complex environmental issues--from cleaner water and sustainable
communities to climate change. We have three primary programs: Clean Water,
Resilient Landscapes, and Environmental Informatics.

SFEI is committed to building a culturally diverse staff, and we strongly
encourage applications from women, people of color and other groups commonly
under-represented in environmental science.
