WSU water faculty and staff,
After 12 years as Director of the State of Washington Water Research Center (WRC), Dr. Jonathan Yoder stepping down June 30 of this year, and we are in the process of identifying a new director. WSU has a very deep and broad network of excellent water-focused researchers and educators who could lead the WRC very effectively into the future, so we are pursuing a WSU-internal search.
As part of this process, Dr. Yoder will be holding three Zoom meetings to provide a description of the WRC, what it has done over the last dozen years, summarize basic director responsibilities, and discuss any topic anyone wants to discuss.
Meeting times are listed below with a zoom link are below.
Wed March 11 2-3 pm (Zoom link)
Thurs March 26 11:30-12:30 (Zoom link)
Monday March 30 3-4 pm (Zoom link)
In the near future we will be eliciting statements of interest for the Director Position. The process is still in development, but a general timeline includes a call for statements of interest publicized in late March, a deadline for that call in April, and a selection process in May/June. This is subject to change.
The information sessions will target people who might consider becoming the Director of the WRC, but feel free to attend even if you just want to learn more about the WRC, what it does, and it’s future prospects. And feel free to attend more than one!
Please contact Director Yoder at yoder@wsu.edu if you have any questions.
