The Ugandan Jobline

• Provide expertise and operational
  (hands-on) support to the strategic analysis being undertaken by the
  Nile-Sec.
• Source data from NBI countries and other
  credible global sources to update the baseline model and database of the
  first phase of the strategic analysis;
• Provide analytic/modelling support to
  projection of Municipal and Industrial water demands; irrigation water
  demands and analysis of options for water saving;
• Further develop the Nile Basin water
  resources model to integrate modules on hydro-economic optimization, dam
  cascade operation, climate change projections and other building blocks of
  the strategic water resources analysis.
• Work closely with consultants in the
  development of hydro-economic models and optimization modules for
  exploring options for economically efficient water use scenarios
• Using the Nile Basin Decision Support
  System (NB DSS), develop, simulate and evaluate scenarios of cooperative
  water resources management and development options;
• Using appropriate modeling tools linked to
  the DSS and other tools as needed, evaluate expected changes to the extent
  of major wetlands’ dynamics and their water balance under scenarios of
  water resources development and management developed as part of the second
  phase of the strategic analysis;
• Prepare and submit technical and progress
  reports regularly
• Prepare regular knowledge products to
  support stakeholder workshops and communication of results to decision
  makers and other stakeholders
• Assist the Water Resources Management Team
  of the Nile Sec in conducting awareness raising, consultation and training
  workshops for its governance members, expert groups and national DSS team;

• The applicant must hold a Masters level
  degree in water resources systems engineering, hydro-informatics,
  hydrology (with focus on water resources modeling) or closely related
  fields; PhD in relevant field preferable.
• A minimum of seven (7) years of qualifying
  experience (after MSc degree) in river basin modeling, with focus on water
  balance modeling, water allocation, simulation of river-reservoir systems
  involving key water use systems (such as hydropower, irrigation), flood
  control benefits of regulation systems, rainfall-runoff modeling, climate
  change and optimization modeling.
• Demonstrated very good expertise with the
  river basin system modeling software packages that are is used at Nile-Sec
  as core of the DSS for the strategic assessment: Mike HYDRO Basin is a
  requirement.
• Extensive knowledge of at least one other
  software for river basin system modeling used at Nile-Sec (preferable:
  RiverWare by CADSWES) and at least one physically based hydrology model
  (Mike SHE preferable) is a requirement.
