THE OPPORTUNITY

Use your leadership and vision to build a creative program from the ground up!

Do you want to work with an interdisciplinary team of scientists that are collaborative, fun, mission-oriented, and want to solve interesting challenges? Are you looking to grow and develop your skills across a variety of technologies and tools to support solving environmental challenges? Are you a data architect looking for an opportunity to use your skills to help create intuitive and innovative data portals to better organize and create access to data, models and research findings to support long term planning in communities facing climate challenges?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, then The Water Institute could be a great fit for you! The Water Institute of the Gulf is a not-for-profit, independent applied research and technical services institution with a mission to help communities thoughtfully prepare for an uncertain future. We deploy scientific research to support national, regional, and local stakeholders in policy development and the planning and implementation of infrastructure improvements, ecological restoration, and resilience strategies. Through an integrated and interdisciplinary approach, our work helps create more resilient communities, thriving economies, and a healthy environment...Because Life Happens at The Water’s Edge.

Our research spans a variety of specialties from applied engineering to numerical modeling to human dimensions to ecology to geology. We partner with local, state and federal government agencies, universities, NGOs, and other researchers to provide independent, creative applied science solutions to tackle the most difficult problems that communities and ecosystems face. Our team is always learning from each other and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. It’s important to us that the data, analysis, and model output that we produce can be discovered and utilized by researchers and practitioners and that’s where we need you.
