Dear colleagues, I would appreciate it if you could draw this PhD research opportunity to the attention of anyone who may be interested in it. Prof. David Butler Urban Water Research Group Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering Imperial College of Science, Technology & Medicine Imperial College Road London SW7 2BU, UK Tel: +44 (0)20 7594 6099 Fax: +44 (0)20 7594 6124 Email: [log in to unmask] WWW: http://ewre-www.cv.ic.ac.uk Post-Graduate Vacancies EU Research Training Network Applications are invited for a PhD studentship in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Imperial College, London. The research focuses on extending and enhancing an in-house developed integrated urban wastewater system model to become a part of a regional (river basin) model including advanced control features. The work will be part of a newly formed European Research Training Network entitled 'Getting Systems Engineering into Regional Wastewater Treatment Strategies' in co-operation with leading European academic institutions. The position offers an excellent opportunity to work on a world-class international research project. The researcher will be based in London and be part of a EU-wide team of workers. EU Research Training Networks place great emphasis in training and mobility of researchers and therefore provide the opportunity for researchers to work at several other European universities for short periods. The positions are available immediately. The studentship is available for 39 months and includes tuition fees and a stipend of £12000 per annum tax-free. Applicants should possess good computing programming skills, and have experience or an interest in working in the environmental engineering field. Applicants must be below 35 years of age and be nationals of an EU Member State or Associated State and must not have carried out their normal activities in the UK for the more than 12 out of the last 24 months prior to the appointment. Applicants from other countries are acceptable but they must have resided in the European Community for the last five years (but have not resided in the UK for more than 2 years in the last 5). This appointment is not available to UK nationals.
