Water Quality Scientist – Full Time or Part Time, In Person
About Community Science Institute: Community Science Institute is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and NYSDOH ELAP-certified water testing lab. Our mission is to empower communities to protect water quality through volunteer stream and lake monitoring in the Cayuga Lake watershed and the surrounding region. CSI recruits, trains, and coordinates volunteers to participate in our four water quality monitoring programs: Synoptic Stream and Lake Monitoring, Red Flag Monitoring, Biomonitoring, and Harmful Algal Bloom Monitoring. In partnership with these volunteers, we build long-term datasets of regulatory quality data that can help guide the sustainable management of local water resources while empowering volunteers to act as stewards of water resources. These data are available to the public on our online water quality database: www.database.communityscience.org. Alone, these data speak volumes, but we help give them a voice through our outreach and education initiatives including our Water and Community events, Water Bulletin Newsletter, summer Journey of Water Youth Education Program, Biomonitoring Open Lab nights, and Monthly Updates. In addition, CSI offers fee-based, certified drinking water testing services and counts the Tompkins County Health Department and Cornell University as well as dozens of businesses and hundreds of private homeowners among our clients. In this way we provide a valuable service to our community while earning fees that help support our nonprofit mission.
About the Position: A Water Quality Scientist is responsible for performing a variety of water quality assays according to standard operating procedures (SOPs), including data quality controls such as calibration checks, blanks, duplicates, and matrix spikes. The successful candidate will receive extensive on-the-job training to gain proficiency in the manual methods employed in our lab. While the primary responsibilities of the Water Quality Scientist lie in the laboratory, there are opportunities to participate in data analysis and science communication depending upon the candidate’s interests and abilities. For example, a Water Quality Scientist might write an article for our Water Bulletin newsletter, give a presentation at a regional conference or symposium, or prepare special reports to local and state government agencies. A Water Quality Scientist might also participate in CSI’s outreach and education events such as water quality cruises for kids through our Journey of Water Program.
