The Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Bristol (UK) is looking to appoint an exceptional individual to enhance its strength in multidisciplinary water and environmental engineering (http://www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/). This position is part of an expanding water research community in both the department and across the University. We seek a candidate with international leadership potential in the broader field of water resources to complement existing strengths in water and environmental engineering. Candidates with expertise in integrated water resource management; water resources systems analysis and groundwater modelling are especially welcome. You will be expected to contribute to research, knowledge transfer and teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Research & Development (ORD), National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL), Ecosystems Research Division (ERD), Athens, Georgia, is in need of a computer scientist/engineer and have begun advertising for the position.
Duties include serving as a software engineer/scientist within a multi-disciplinary team designing software systems; developing integrated computer systems using computer software concepts; serving as an expert in matters of system architecture, computer languages, implementation hardware issues, and technologies for model distribution and documentation via web sites; and evaluating, developing, and designing real-time control systems and related software applications using computer languages, hardware, and software development tools, and computer industry practices.

- Based at one of 8 leading European universities or research centres (Technical University Delft and Wageningen University, The Netherlands; EAWAG, Switzerland; Henri-Tudor, Luxemburg; University of Coimbra, Portugal; Justus Liebig University Giessen, Germany; University of Bristol and University of Sheffield, UK).
- Candidates will be seconded to universities, companies andresearch centres throughout Europe during the project.
- Closing dates 24 th July or mid-August, depending on the post.
- For more information see www.quics.eu.
You would become part of the interdisciplinary Marie-Curie Initial Training network
QUICS “Quantifying Uncertainty in Integrated Catchment Studies”, where leading
engineers and scientists collaborate with private sector companies to train researchers capable of developing and implementing uncertainty management tools for the Water Framework Directive (WFD). The consortium will develop new uncertainty assessment tools that can be used in WFD implementation studies. The research will address uncertainty propagation at the spatial and temporal scales found in catchments and develop tools to reduce uncertainty by optimising sampling and monitoring and the objective selection of model structures. This will reduce uncertainty in model predictions and improve the quality of our surface waters, and reduce costs of implementing the WFD.
