governance; and water accounting-based planning.

For its sustainable water programme, CEEW seeks to hire a Research

sectors.

Along with a policy research orientation, the candidate should possess

strong data analysis skills and support the organisation in accessing various

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.
