Salary: In line with the Marie Skłodowska-Curie ITN requirements
Reference: ENVGE1066
Closing date: 30 November 2017
Fixed term for 3 years
Early-Stage Researcher (PhD position) in Hydroecology in the Marie
Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network (ITN) (EuroFLOW)
Project 3, School of Geography, Faculty of Environment
Early-Stage Researcher (PhD position) in Hydroecology
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network (ITN):
A European training and research network for
environmental FLOW management in river basins
(EuroFLOW) – Future river flows: designing and modelling
environmental flow regimes to account for changing climate
and policy drivers, School of Geography, Faculty of
Environment.
Are you interested in working in the research field of environmental flows? Do
you want to further your career and attain a PhD in one of the UK’s leading
research intensive Universities?
The University of Leeds is recruiting an Early-stage researcher (PhD student) in the
framework of the EuroFLOW Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network.
The Early-stage researcher (ESR) will be employed for a period of 36 months at the
University of Leeds, UK, and will be part of a network of 15 PhD students enrolled in
a European network of ten academic and thirteen partner institutions.
The overall aim of EuroFLOW is to develop new theoretical and empirical insights via
ground-breaking experimental manipulations, large-scale field surveys and
development of cutting-edge models to inform the management of water flows and
aquatic ecosystems in river basins. The research programme at the University of
Leeds focuses on monitoring and modelling how reservoir release operations affect
instream biota, and ecosystem quality.
This ESR position will test the existing environmental flow standards used in the UK
and design and implement a number of alternative flow scenarios to examine how flow
regimes could be used to provide additional benefits to both the environment and
society. The EuroFLOW ESRs will be embedded in a vibrant research community
covering all aspects of water science via the River Basin Processes and Management
research group, as well as the wider water@leeds network which is one of the largest
interdisciplinary centres for water research in any university in the world,
encompassing expertise from across the physical, biological, chemical, social and
economic sciences and engineering as well as the arts.
Good time management and planning skills, with the ability to meet tight
deadlines and work effectively under pressure;
Excellent written and verbal communication skills including presentation skills;
Proven ability to manage competing demands effectively, responsibly and
without close support;
A proven ability to work well both individually and in a team;
A strong commitment to your own continuous professional development.
