Engineering Geology opportunity at the California Department of Water Resources (DWR)
|
The Department of Water Resources (DWR) is looking for a candidate that has a strong background in engineering geology and prior experience performing fault investigations and seismic hazard assessments.
The candidate will work in the Division of Engineering, within the Project Geology Section (West Sacramento, Yolo County). Project Geology provides engineering geologic services for design, construction, repair, operations, and maintenance of the State Water Project (SWP), which intersects much of the diverse geology of California. Our challenging projects include work at SWP dams, canals, pipelines, reservoirs, power plants, pumping plants, bridges, aqueducts, tunnels, and levees. Services provided by our engineering geologists ensure public safety and longevity of the critical SWP infrastructure.
Project Geology has a variety of work assignments, including foundation investigations, geologic mapping, fault trenching, and geologic hazards assessments (subsidence, landslides, and faulting and seismicity studies). Project Geology makes decisions affecting the safety, durability, and performance of SWP facilities based on sound engineering geology practice.
|
At DWR there are numerous resources to support your career and professional growth, including training, organizational memberships, and experienced and professional colleagues who collaborate for project success. Please consider this fantastic opportunity to join the SWP team, to help deliver water to over 27 million Californians, and to contribute to species conservation and environmental protection! Possession of a California professional geology (PG) license is desirable, but not required.

CLaSH First Annual Meeting - Register today!
|
Calling all hazard colleagues! Join us September 24-25 in Boulder, CO for our first CLaSH Annual Meeting!
|
We invite all professional geoscientists, engineers, graduate students, and postdocs in related fields to join us. Space is limited to 150 participants, so we encourage early registration—once we reach capacity, registration will close.
|
In addition to the exciting annual meeting program from Sept 24-25, find out more about our Sept 23 OpenTopography or Partner Collaboration workshops.
|
- Early & Regular Registration (Through Aug 24): $375
- Late Registration (After Aug 24): $550
Note: Late registration will remain open until the start of the conference or until our 150-participant capacity is reached.
|
Open Topography workshop & travel support
|
- Travel Grants: A select number of $600 travel awards are available to support attendance for the meeting, the workshop, or both. Early-career researchers are highly encouraged to apply.
- Workshop Registration: The OpenTopography workshop (Multi-Temporal Topographic Analysis of Natural Hazards) on Sept 23 is free of charge, but attendance is capped at 40 participants. The Partner Collaboration workshop on Sept 23 is invitation only.
- Selection Process: Workshop participants and travel award recipients will be selected from the total application pool after the July 24 deadline.
|
We look forward to seeing you this fall!
