Hydrologist/Programmer – Western States Water Council – Murray, UT
The Western States Water Council (WSWC) is looking to fill an open Hydrologist/Programmer position. The WSWC is looking for an energetic recent or near graduate in hydrology with an interest in, as well as experience with computer programming.
The project will focus on helping the western states develop a water use and water availability data exchange. The purpose of this is to help the western states be in a better position to support the Department of Energy’s water for energy studies and USGS’s Water Census as well as other water availability and water planning studies. These types of data have historically been one of the weak links in the suite of water data, and the western states are committed to try to address these issues.
The position is a 2-year term position. The salary and benefits will be on par with a similar type position at the State of Utah. The position is funded, in part, by a Department of Energy grant through the Western Governors’ Association.
This will be a fairly high-profile project with a lot of potential for visibility. If successful, this person would be in a great position for their future career.
Feel free to contact Dwane Young (dayoung@wswc.utah.gov) or Cheryl Redding (credding@wswc.utah.gov) if you have any questions. Also please feel free to share this with anyone who you feel would be interested.
