Scientist – Water Modeling

Job Summary

The primary objective of this position is to lead Research for Development (R4D) initiatives focused on hydrological and water modeling. The role aims to explore the complex interactions between water systems, climate change, and land use to enhance water management practices at the basin and sub-basin levels. By developing innovative models, decision support tools, and integrated water management strategies, this role aims to boost agricultural water productivity, strengthen the resilience of ecosystems, and support sustainable livelihoods for farmers.

Job Responsibilities

• Lead and oversee the design, execution and analysis of hydrological and water balance models, including the forecasting and management of water flows, droughts, and floods and other water-related risks.
• Conduct integrated watershed and river basin management research, developing simulation for hydrological runoffs, stream and ground water dynamics across basin and sub-basins.
• Develop and refine water allocation and planning models that optimize water distribution to multiple stakeholders, balancing agricultural, industrial and ecological demand.
• Design and implement seasonal (winter and summer) irrigation management plans that align with crop water requirements, climatic conditions, and resource availability, ensuring sustainable agricultural productivity.
• Lead the development of decision support tools tailored to arid and semi-arid regions.
• Secure internal and external funding through proposal development and engagement with national and international donors, research institutions, and network partners to support ongoing and new research initiatives.
• Organize and participate in international and regional workshops, conferences, training sessions and capacity-building programs to disseminate research findings, build capacity among scientists and practitioners, and influence policymaking in water management.
• Publish high-impact scientific papers and technical reports in leading journals, contributing to the global body of knowledge in hydrology and water resources management.
