Infrastructure Systems<br><br>University of Arizona<br><br>An ongoing project funded by the National Science Foundation examines the<br>opportunities and triple bottom line (environmental, social, economic) <br>costs of integrating water and wastewater planning. The goal of the project<br>is <br>to better understand decentralized treatment and dual water supply options<br>as a means to<br>extend scarce water supplies and develop tools that allow decision makers to<br>formulate sustainability, resilient, and robust long-term community<br>infrastructure plans.<br><br>We are looking for a PhD candidate (or advanced Masters) to work as part of<br>an<br>interdisciplinary team in the process of implementing scenario planning for<br>water and wastewater systems in Tucson, with applicability to other<br>water-scarce, high-growth regions. Scenario planning is an interactive,<br>applied technique that addresses multiple uncertainties (climate,
water<br>resources, infrastructure, social preference, decision-making) through the<br>integration of data analysis and stakeholder outreach. This approach is a<br>key<br>method in adaptive water management.<br><br>The ideal candidate for this position will have a background in<br>environmental<br>science, geography, arid lands, or related field, and should have experience<br>working with stakeholders, the public, and planners. Familiarity with GIS is<br>a<br>plus. Quantitative modeling is not required; instead, this is undertaken by<br>faculty and students in multiple UA engineering departments. However, the<br>GRA<br>in this position will work closely with the modelers as well as utility<br>partners from Pima County and the City of Tucson.<br><br>For details on the assistantship, contact Dr. Christopher Scott<br><<a ymailto="mailto:cascott@email.arizona.edu" href="mailto:cascott@email.arizona.edu">cascott@email.arizona.edu</a>>
at the University of Arizona's Udall Center for<br>Studies in Public Policy, and School of Geography & Development.<br><br>The candidate selected to receive the assistantship will have a full tuition<br>waiver and receive a stipend (at 20 hours per week) with benefits <br>starting Fall 2011. Pending satisfactory progress with project-related<br>research and <br>with the student's course of study, additional funding may be available.<br><br>Christopher Scott<br>Assoc.
