environmental science.
The direct relationship of the rainfall with the concentrations in pesticides
is a major stake of the environment. The objective of this project carried out
in close connection with hydologist partners is to develop new modelling techniques
and tools for the transfer of the pesticides towards water surface based on the
observation of rainfall, flow and pesticide concentrations.
You will be part of an international research environment for up to three years
while you expand your knowledge of the field and write your doctoral thesis.
This gives opportunities for many inspiring conversations, a lot of interesting
work and some travel.
The position is limited to at most three years. Usually, a PhD student will
spend about 80 percent of his or her time on graduate studies, and about 20
percent on teaching.
The position is funded by a grant of the French National Center for Scientific
Research (CNRS) and is open to applicants of any nationality. Gross income: 2095
€ per month.
Typical profiles are candidates with Master degrees in control engineering,
signal processing, computer science, environmental science or mathematics
with strong interdisciplinary interest in modelling and simulation of environmental
systems. Good programming skills (e.g. Matlab, etc.) are also highly desirable.
Teamwork and presentation skills, as well as fluent English, are necessary requisites.
French speaking is not required.
Application:
The application deadline is 26th April 2010. The successful candidates might be
selected for an interview process in Spring and have to be available for a start
in October 2010.
CV and further enquiries should be directed to Marion Gilson and Hugues Garnier:
