Postdoctoral Research Fellow post
Wednesday 30 January 2013
We are seeking a postdoctoral research fellow to work on a environmental modelling research project recently funded by NERC under the Changing Water Cycle Programme. This project will focus on the development and application of integrated approach to model the physical and natural processes within the urban water environment to understand the processes controlling the fate of pollutants in downstream river reaches that originate from upstream urban sources.
You will work in the Centre for Environmental and Health Engineering within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, in collaboration with other UK-leading research teams from Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH), Lancaster and Oxford Universities.
You will have a PhD (or equivalent) in Environmental Science or Engineering, or a related area. Expertise in hydrological and water quality modelling is expected, experience in urban water systems and systems integration modelling is a plus. A good level of programming skills in either Fortran, C/C++ or Matlab is required. You are also expected to have very good communication skills in spoken and written English.
The project will start in April 2013, and appointment is for 36 months.
