Position: Self-motivated hydraulic/hydrologic modelers
Start reviewing process: 1 June 2020
|
A significant portion of the work will be leading and contributing to the development and testing of modular data-driven or process-based simulation tools in fluid mechanics, hydraulics, hydrology, and water resources, integrating them into a smart service system – a socially intelligent, dynamically evolving, realtime, global modeling platform – and creating – using natural market forces – a MAGNET for water (Multiscale, Adaptive, Global NETwork for water), pulling people together and enabling spontaneous community-wide cocreation.
Depending on the assignment, there will be opportunity for creative problem-solving involving models, research and curriculum innovations, technological and business innovations, software development, database design and optimization, intelligent information integration, processing and analysis of massive datasets, client-server programming, high performance/parallel computing, and GIS application.
Desired Qualifications / Experience
- Immediate availability to work.
- Must be self-driven, a critical thinker, and a quick learner.
- An ability to work independently and as a team player.
- Strong problem resolution skills.
- Strong verbal, written, and active listening communication skills to work effectively within and across teams.
- Masters or Ph.D. degree in civil / environmental engineering or related fields (e.g., geological sciences and engineering, GIS and spatial science, computational science and mathematics); “freshly graduated” or recent MS/Ph.D. graduates are particularly welcome to apply.
- Experience in hydrologic and hydraulic modeling; specifically, channel flow modeling (e.g., using HECRAS), water supply distribution network modeling (e.g., EPANET), and/or urban stormwater system modeling (e.g., EPA SWMM).
- Experience with computer programming (using, e.g., C#, Python, JavaScript, SQL, GIS, HTML, CSS) is desired but not required.
- Willingness to learn new modeling skills pertinent to the company vision.
Work will be completed at our office location in Lansing, Michigan (see below) once stay-at-home orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic are lifted. Until then, remote work on an hourly basis will be arranged.
Qualified candidates must be currently authorized to work in the United States.
Work Location. Lansing, Michigan – the capital city of Michigan, just west of Michigan State University and about 1.5 hours northwest of Detroit and 3 hours east of Chicago.
