SWAT-Related Job Announcements

The Watershed Science & Modelling Laboratory (WSML) of the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Alberta is looking for one innovative and highly motivated candidate to develop models and conduct research on “watershed nutrient modeling under changing climate”. The successful candidate will work with and/or enhance the existing process-based agro hydrological models and data at the WSML for agricultural watersheds of western Canada. More specifically, the candidate will contribute to understanding of nutrient fate and transports from terrestrial soils into the river systems, and their fate and transport in the river systems by application in prairie watersheds of western Canada. For this, the candidate is expected to simulate sediment export and its loads and transport across study watershed. The candidate is highly expected to develop collaborative publications as well as their independent publications at the WSML. The end goal is to provide scientifically credible knowledge for sustainable management of water and food resources in an uncertain future.

Location: Watershed Science and Modelling Laboratory (https://cms.eas.ualberta.ca/faramarzilab), Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Alberta. 
Term: This is a full time position for one year and potentially for two years, depending on the performance of the candidate in the first year. 
Contact: Send your updated CV to Dr. Monireh Faramarzi via faramarz@ualberta.ca 

The Géosciences Environment Toulouse of the Toulouse University, France is searching for a doctoral student on the modeling of major elements variability within a karst aquifer based on a distributed approach. The selected candidate will work on a thesis project aims to propose innovative methods for hydrogeochemical simulations of karst water resources and will be based on an interdisciplinary collaboration (GET, University of Colorado, Munich Technological University) which will have the Baget karst basin as its study site integrated within the SNO Karst and as a conceptual basis the ISPEEKH approach. Candidates with training in Geosciences (Hydrogeology and hydrogeochemistry) or fluid mechanics with both proven modeling skills (experience on SWAT) and skills in terms of hydrogeochemical analyzes and sampling in the field are strongly preferred.

Please send your CV, cover letter and academic grades to
