Based
in the School of Environment and Technology, University of Brighton, you will
work on the EU-RDF funded CLIMAWAT project which will examine the effects of
long-term climatic change on the behaviour of both chemical and microbiological
pollutants in chalk and fractured granite groundwater catchment areas using
techniques derived from the latest research. This project will also focus on
the quantification of groundwater fluxes in response to particular short and
long term climatic events and assess the change in groundwater recharge
mechanisms in response to changes in the amount and duration of rainfall. The
project is joint between the University of Brighton, University of East Anglia,
Universite de Rennes 1, Universite de Brest and CNRS. You will carry out field
(UK and France) and laboratory based research, conduct basic data collection,
disseminate findings by contributing to project reports, publications and
present findings at meetings. You will have a good (1 or 2:1) degree in
Geology, Earth Sciences, Environmental Sciences or a related subject and have
the ability to convey your ideas and findings clearly.
The post is
fixed-term until 31 March 2013. The successful applicant will have the
opportunity to register for a PhD. For an informal discussion about the post
