About Us
ReGis a pioneering solar desalination technology firm dedicated to addressing global water scarcity while restoring marine and coastal ecosystems. We integrate cutting-edge renewable energy systems with ecological conservation to build climate-resilient communities. Our projects span biodiverse coastal regions, partnering with governments, NGOs, and local stakeholders to deliver sustainable solutions.
Core Values: Innovation, Environmental Stewardship, Interdisciplinary Collaboration, Community Empowerment.
Role Overview
We seek a visionary Water Researcher (PhD) to lead R&D initiatives in solar desalination technology with a focus on marine and seaside biodiversity restoration. You will design and optimize eco-friendly desalination systems, assess their ecological impacts, and drive innovations that align water production with ecosystem recovery.
Key Responsibilities
- Ecological Impact Assessment:
- Collaborate with marine biologists to monitor biodiversity outcomes (e.g., coral health, mangrove survival, sediment salinity).
- Design mitigation strategies for brine discharge and resource extraction impacts.
- Fieldwork & Pilot Projects:
- Lead pilot deployments in water-scarce coastal zones, ensuring minimal ecological footprint.
- Collect and analyze environmental data (water quality, soil health, species diversity).
- Interdisciplinary Collaboration:
- Partner with engineers, data scientists, and social scientists to co-design community-integrated solutions.
- Publish findings in high-impact journals and present at international conferences.
- Grant Writing & Funding:
- Secure grants from environmental agencies (e.g., UNEP, World Bank) to scale projects.
Qualifications
- PhD in Environmental Engineering, Marine Science, Hydrology, or related field with a focus on desalination/water treatment.
- Technical Expertise:
- Proven experience in solar desalination technologies (e.g., MD, RO, solar stills).
- Strong background in ecological impact assessment and marine biodiversity metrics.
- Proficiency in modeling tools (e.g., GIS, MATLAB) and data analysis (Python/R).
- Fieldwork Experience:
- Hands-on experience in coastal/marine ecosystems, brine management, or pilot-scale deployments.
- Publications: Track record of peer-reviewed research in desalination, ecology, or renewable energy.
- Leadership: Ability to mentor junior researchers and manage cross-functional teams.
Desired Skills:
- Knowledge of international environmental regulations (e.g., UN SDGs, Ramsar Convention).
- Experience with community engagement or participatory research methods.
- Language skills (e.g., Arabic, Spanish) for fieldwork in target regions.
Why Join Us?
- Impact: Directly contribute to reversing biodiversity loss in water-scarce regions.
- Innovation: Access to state-of-the-art labs and pilot sites for groundbreaking research.
- Global Network: Collaborate with leading universities, NGOs, and policymakers.
- Fieldwork: Travel to biodiverse coastal zones (e.g., Red Sea, Gulf of California).
