Job Requirements:

• Experience (or a strong interest) in writing proposals for research solicitations in Earth Science
• Leadership experience (or potential) related to the execution of a research program, the coordination of a research team, or the organization of community efforts
• Advanced knowledge of methodologies used for improving science and its applications in hydrology and remote sensing, including but not limited to modeling approaches, observational techniques (in situ and remote), and their combination in the form of scientific analyses, data assimilation, machine learning, etc.
• Strong interest in the justification, formulation, and implementation of new satellite missions.
• Ability to articulate a vision for hydrologic remote sensing and its applications and communicate it to an audience of non-experts

Qualification & Experience:

• Strong interpersonal skills, demonstrated through mentorship, listening and effective communication
• Demonstrated record of peer-reviewed publications related to science and applications for hydrology and remote sensing of the terrestrial water cycle
• Experience building and/or working in collaborative, diverse and inclusive team environments
• Excellent oral (including public speaking) and written communication skills.
