(NYCDEP) manages a system of 19 interconnected reservoirs that supply drinking
water to over 9 million consumers in New York City and surrounding areas. We
seek to hire a research scientist or research engineer who will contribute to
our efforts to develop, test and apply models of this water supply system.
NYCDEP uses a suite of climate, forest ecosystem, watershed, reservoir, and
system operations models to investigate the effects of climate change, floods
and droughts, land use change, watershed management, and reservoir operations
on the NYC water supply. We are seeking a talented scientist or engineer to
help us improve and enhance these models.</span></p>
