UC ANR operates a statewide network of researchers and educators dedicated to the development and application of knowledge to address local agricultural, environmental and health issues. Over 150 UC ANR UCCE advisors conduct research, outreach and education from locally based CE offices serving all 58 counties from 70+ locations throughout the state. By working and living among those we serve, UC ANR expands the University of California's reach to engage all people and communities in California, ensuring equal access to the UC system. Location Headquarters : UCCE Mendocino County, Ukiah, CA. Purpose . The Area Water Quality, Quantity and Climate Change Advisor will implement an innovative extension education and applied research program to address issues related to water quality, quantity, and climate change in the North Coast Regional area. The Area Water Quality, Quantity and Climate Change position will focus on the impacts of climate change (intensifying droughts, floods, wildfire, and extreme events) on water supply and quality. The advisor will work with agricultural and natural resource producers as well as local government water agencies and water districts. Targeted program focus include one or several of the following: 1) maintain and diversify local water supplies that reduce reliance on any one water supply (springs and well systems, recycled water, or water harvesting); 2) protect and enhance natural ecosystems that sustain fish, wildlife, and crop and animal agriculture; 3) build connections with local government water agencies, water districts, indigenous tribes and integrate water management through shared use of science, data and technology; and 4) identify and develop viable options to meet the requirements of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, and other local, state and regional policy issues. The advisor's extension education program will assist leaders and policymakers to understand and create long-term water resiliency plans that include water development and storage, alternative water sources (e.g. recycled and rainwater capture), water conservation and dealing with increasing effects of climate change. Extension efforts will target supporting and strengthening agencies, be they local government, water bodies, county, non-profits, community members or landowners. The candidate will disseminate research results and information through meetings, workshops, newsletters, and all forms of social media that will provide credible and practical options for landowners and organizations to address water use and quality concerns. Opportunities for research are exciting and include both watershed level work, social and policy research, post-fire effects on water quality and quantity, modernization of water capture, storage infrastructure and conservation. Hydrological analysis of area surface water (rivers, lakes) and groundwater (springs and wells) is also needed for planning purposes. Research may include watershed-scale work at the Hopland Research and Extension Center, which has the necessary flumes and automatic data collection e.g. to assess fire treatments on upstream flow and water quality. There are numerous opportunities for extension and research partnerships with a variety of stakeholders and partnerships, including County and City governments, specifically water agencies and planning departments, indigenous tribes, water districts, State Water Resources Control Board, Region 1 & 5 Water Quality Control Boards, Resource Conservation Districts, NRCS, CalFire, Fire Departments, Farm Bureau, and various commodity organizations. Collaboration with other advisors' disciplines are expected to address the complex challenges of water quality and quantity. UCCE counties have been successful in obtaining funding, and through contracts this position could directly perform research on issues important to the existing Lake County Water Agency and the current Mendocino County Water Resource Team and the proposed future Mendocino Water Agency.

A. Degree: Engineering. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by ABET; or (2) include differential and integral calculus and courses (more advanced than first-year physics and chemistry) in five of the following seven areas of engineering science or physics: (a) statics, dynamics; (b) strength of materials (stress-strain relationships); (c) fluid mechanics, hydraulics; (d) thermodynamics; (e) electrical fields and circuits; (f) nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure to properties); and (g) any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics. OR B. Combination of education and experience -- college-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying engineering, and (2) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences and techniques and their applications to one of the branches of engineering. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by one of the following: 1. Professional registration or licensure -- Current registration as an Engineer Intern (EI), Engineer in Training (EIT), or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. Absent other means of qualifying under this standard, those applicants who achieved such registration by means other than written test (e.g., State grandfather or eminence provisions) are eligible only for positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field of their registration. For example, an applicant who attains registration through a State Board's eminence provision as a manufacturing engineer typically would be rated eligible only for manufacturing engineering positions. For more information about EI and EIT registration requirements, please visit the National Society of Professional Engineers website at: http://www.nspe.org. 2. Written Test -- Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination or any other written test required for professional registration by an engineering licensure board in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
