The Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Bristol (UK) is looking to appoint an exceptional individual to enhance its strength in multidisciplinary water and environmental engineering (http://www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/). This position is part of an expanding water research community in both the department and across the University. We seek a candidate with international leadership potential in the broader field of water resources to complement existing strengths in water and environmental engineering. Candidates with expertise in integrated water resource management; water resources systems analysis and groundwater modelling are especially welcome. You will be expected to contribute to research, knowledge transfer and teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
The University of Bristol provides excellent opportunities for multidisciplinary collaboration, which are supported through the Cabot Institute. This Institute seeks to address the challenge of living with global environmental uncertainty through collaborative science, social science and engineering research. Supporting resources include a free High Performance Computing facility and a large recently refurbished hydraulics laboratory with potential for further development. Both the Faculty of Engineering and the Department of Civil Engineering enjoy a high international standing in teaching and research, and continue to attract the highest caliber students.
