The San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) is seeking up to two
Environmental Analysts or Associate Environmental Scientists to join an
interdisciplinary team to support projects investigating the sources, fate,
transport, and impacts of contaminants in the San Francisco Bay and its
surrounding watersheds. The goal of this work is to support policy
development that prevents or minimizes impacts to human and wildlife
health, as well as other beneficial uses in the region. This work will be
carried out in support of the Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality
in San Francisco Bay (RMP) and other Clean Water Program efforts to address
pivotal pollution issues with regional, state, and national implications.



This is a full-time, Bay Area-based, hybrid office position for a candidate
with a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a pertinent scientific field and
work experience in water quality issues, particularly environmental
chemistry.



*Primary position responsibilities will include:*


   - Environmental monitoring and monitoring coordination (e.g.,
   coordinating with analytical labs, preparing supplies and field kits,
   preparing sampling and analysis plans, scheduling field days with external
   sampling partners, field sampling, post sampling processing, shipping
   samples, following up with labs, coordinating with data services on field
   data)
   - Program coordination and implementation (e.g., scheduling meetings,
   producing meeting summaries, developing contracts, coordinating with
   analytical labs, updating websites, logistics for RMP Annual Meeting)
   - Environmental data analysis, synthesis, and reporting (e.g., data
   visualization, statistical analysis, report writing, presentations to
   stakeholders and scientific advisors)
   - Community engagement (public engagement and education, conducting
   surveys and community science activities, stakeholder and partner
   coordination, meeting facilitation)
   - Science communication (e.g., updating the RMP website, contributing to
   quarterly newsletters, supporting presentations, drafting social media)

If you are excited about this role, but your past experience doesn’t align
perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you
to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this, or one of
our other roles.



*Qualifications*

*Required Experience*


   - Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in environmental science, environmental
   engineering, oceanography, environmental health, chemistry, biology, or
   another related scientific field.
   - Familiarity with environmental science and environmental chemistry,
   particularly field work, data analysis, and writing.

*Required Skills*


   - Excellent organizational skills and ability to manage multiple
   projects at one time and meet deadlines.
   - Ability to work well in teams as well as work independently with
   general direction from senior scientific staff.
   - Ability to contribute to, or lead, aspects of field work that may
   periodically involve working unusual hours (e.g., late nights, early
   mornings, and weekends) and carrying 40 pound field equipment for short
   durations.
   - Excellent communication, presentation and writing skills and ability
   to synthesize information.
   - Valid driver’s license as driving to field locations will be required.

*Preferred Skills*


   - Experience with the collection, processing and analysis of
   environmental samples (e.g., water, stormwater, sediment, fish and other
   wildlife tissues) for chemical contaminants.
   - Familiarity with the development and/or implementation of field
   sampling and laboratory QA/QC procedures.
   - Experience using software programs for environmental data analysis and
   visualization, such as R, Python, and/or GIS.
   - Familiarity with estuarine and/or coastal landscapes and ecosystems
   - Experience engaging with communities and other partners
