Hydrologist

NOAA National Weather Service | Open until filled

The job duties of NWS hydrologists vary depending on office, region, and time of year. Much of their work involves analyzing large amounts of data, such as precipitation amounts and river gauge measurements, to model and predict flooding. Hydrologists also collect data; provide guidance to other federal, state, and local agencies about flooding events; conduct research; and develop methods for integrating new science and technology into the forecast process.

Postdoctoral Research Associate

Northeastern University | Open until filled

This position would play a research role in several community engaged studies that seek to improve community resilience. The grant funded position is to begin Spring 2024 with academic yearly renewals based upon funding and performance. Responsibilities include participating and leading of activities for research funded community resilience projects in the U.S (and its territories) as well Caribbean Island nations. This position will lead the writing of academic papers; research development opportunities, managing data collection and curation; and helping supervise Undergrad or Graduate students.
