Purpose

The CEEW’s sustainable water programme informs policy-making for the sustainable development of water resources and their effective management through research in the areas of: mainstreaming circular economy in used water management through planning for treated used water reuse; enabling water security under changing climate through developing pathways for resilient water systems; assessing policy coherence for inclusive water and allied resources governance; and water accounting based planning.

For its sustainable water programme, CEEW seeks to hire a Programme Associate having a good understanding of India’s water sector. An ideal candidate should have a thorough understanding of urban water management issues and challenges, especially considering the climate variability and change, and the current policy discourse (supply and demand management, and used water treatment, recycling, and reuse) for addressing them. The candidate should have prior experience working in the used water management and circular economy sectors.

Along with a policy research orientation, the candidate should possess strong data analysis skills and support the organisation in accessing various existing secondary data sets, such as those from the Census of India, Urban Local Bodies, Central and State Pollution Control Boards, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Ministry of Jal Shakti, India WRIS or any other data sets available in the public domain. The candidate should have proficiency in using statistical tools. Hands-on experience with geo-spatial tools and experience of working in projects involving the engagement of urban local bodies will be desirable.
