Expressions of interest:

Hydrologists, Ecohydrologists, Engineers and Software Developers

This year, the Commonwealth Agreement for the eWater Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) will be successfully completed. This brings to a close 20 years of CRC-funded research and development under the combined banners of Catchment Hydrology, Freshwater Ecology and eWater CRCs. It is however not the end of eWater.

From 2012, eWater will continue as a public not-for-profit organisation, with members across the Australian public and private water sector. 

Our core mission will be to build ecohydrological modelling capability in the Australian and international water industries. We will do this through continuing research, development, training, application and support of eWater’s new, fully integrated water resources modelling system eWater Source, and its many supporting utility models in the eWater Toolkit.

eWater will be based in Canberra, with a dedicated team of water scientists, engineers, software developers and supporting staff. I am committed to creating a dynamic, open and innovative work-place, where highly creative people can do great things working together, and with our collaborating partners.

As a capability-building organisation, eWater will be growing and supporting an international community of practice in water systems modelling, under-pinned by open-source access for our members and affiliates. And supporting our public-good mission, we will be providing free, sponsored model access to water professionals, academics and students in the world’s developing countries.

So, if your core values are in seeing science applied to better water management in Australia and around the globe, if you like the idea of working in a revenue-driven public-good environment, and if you want to be part of a team of like-minded professionals, then please let me know.

I will be recruiting the first group of 10-15 hydrologists, engineers, ecohydrologists and software developers from early 2012. Please send me a one page letter telling me about yourself, why working with eWater appeals to you, and how your skills and experiences might contribute to our long-term growth and success. Please also enclose your CV.

There are no specific position descriptions yet, so please don’t ask for them. However, don’t wait until more details appear – that might be too late!
