[Norman Pelak]

Dear colleagues,

The Hydrologic Research Center (HRC) has positions open for a
Hydrometeorologist and a Hydraulic Engineer. Please see below for position
descriptions and general information about HRC. More details and
application instructions can be found here:
https://www.hrcwater.org/employment-opportunities/

Feel free to reach out to me (npelak at hrcwater.org) or to the search
committee chairs for each position with any questions.

*Job description for the Hydrometeorologist position:*
HRC has an opening for a research scientist specializing in
hydrometeorology to join our interdisciplinary team. We are seeking a
detail-oriented, innovative individual who is motivated to apply their
knowledge to solving complex problems in hydrometeorology and water
resources. The successful candidate will participate in various programs
ranging from scientific research to real-world applications addressing
climate, water resources, hydrology, flooding, and flash flooding issues
worldwide. Ongoing work at HRC involves real-time implementation and
validation of numerical weather prediction models for flood and flash flood
warning applications, assessments of impacts of climatic variability and
change on flash flood regimes and water resources over large river basins,
development of strategies for flood mitigation and water resource
management, and associated training of field personnel of national
meteorological and hydrological agencies, disaster management agencies, and
water resource management agencies across the world. The ability to work
productively within a multidisciplinary team is a key requirement.

*Job description for the Hydraulic Engineer position:*
HRC is in search of a research engineer that specializes in computational
hydraulics and its applications. As part of the HRC physical modeling team,
you will be working with other researchers and computer engineers in the
development and implementation of tailored numerical modeling solutions for
a variety of channel flow applications in local and international projects.
The typical work associated with the position includes numerical modeling
and predictions in open channel hydraulics and sediment transport, scalable
flash flood modeling, integrated hydraulics structure modeling, watershed
management and flood mitigation strategy, quantitative and statistical
analysis of model results, and user training of the numerical codes and
background theories. The prospective candidate is expected to have a solid
research background in hydraulics, hydrology or other related fields.
Strong quantitative and scientific computing skills are essential for the
position.

*More about HRC:*
Founded in 1993, Hydrologic Research Center (HRC) is a public non-profit
research, technology transfer, and training organization, dedicated to the
development of effective and sustainable solutions to global water issues.
HRC’s mission is to advance the science and engineering of hydrology and
allied water sciences through research and development work, and to provide
operations, technology transfer and training services that infuse science,
engineering and decision theory into water resources management and hazard
risk decision-making. At present HRC operational systems support
hydrometeorological forecasters in more than 70 countries, serving about 3
billion people worldwide. Please visit the HRC website for more details:
