Posting: Position: MS & Full-time Research Assistant Start reviewing process: 18 July 2023

Position Title: M.S. Student/s & Research Assistant in the Department of Bioenvironmental Systems Engineering, National Taiwan University

Location: National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan Starting Date: August 2023 (Fall 2023)/January 2024 (Spring 2024) Duration: 2 years (can be extended up to 4 years if funding is available)

My lab (River and Catchment Modeling Lab) recruits highly motivated graduate students and full-time research assistants to develop/improve/apply numerical river/catchment models here in Taiwan.

Job Description:
The selected candidates will be responsible for, but not limited to, developing and implementing large-scale river network numerical models. The selected candidates will be required to be familiar with basic programming skills (e.g., python or C++) and numerical analysis skills.

Our laboratory also incorporates commercial models (such as SWAT, SWMM, CE-QUAL-W2) to simulate and forecast the effects of human activities on the basin environment. For instance, one of our primary research areas involves modeling point and non-point source contamination within the catchment, while assessing the trajectory of local lake water quality. We firmly believe that our work here can have a positive impact on the environment and society as a whole, and we sincerely hope that you will consider joining us in this endeavor.

Funding:
The selected candidate will receive a stipend, tuition waiver, travel allowance for attending conferences, and access to professional development activities.

Eligibility Criteria:

• For those applying for M.S. - B.S. degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Agricultural Engineering, or with a background in any related discipline.
• For those applying for Full-time Research Assistant - M.S. degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or Agricultural Engineering, or with a background in any related discipline.
• A background in programming and experience in using hydrological/hydrodynamic models.

Application Process:
Interested candidates can send CVs and other supplemental materials to: cwjyu@ntu.edu.tw

We highly encourage prospective candidates to promptly submit their applications. This position offers an exceptional chance to contribute to advancing environmental technologies and substantially impact agricultural, hydrology, and bioenvironmental systems engineering.

I am eagerly anticipating receiving your application.
