The Role of Place and Scale on Effectiveness of Temporary Storage Areas for Surface Runoff Attenuation

This project addresses the need to understand where and at what scale land management could help to improve above and below ground storm water storage for managing floods. It integrates hydrology with soil science and will provide crucial steps for policy and practitioners to design and manage temporary water storage strategies within our landscapes.

We welcome applications from candidates with a background in a relevant subject (Hydrology, Soil Science, and Environmental Science). An enthusiasm to carry out field work, laboratory experiments and analysis combined with hydrological modelling is also required. A driving licence would be desirable. Full funding is available from the Scottish Government via the Hydro Nation Scholars Programme. Scholarships are awarded on competitive merit and the student will be located at either or both institutes in Aberdeen.

Application deadline is 6th January 2020 and shortlisted candidates will be interviewed in February 2020. For more information, follow: https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/the-role-of-place-and-scale-on-effectiveness-of-temporary-storage-areas-for-surface-runoff-attenuation/?p115294
