UK: PhD Studentship - School of Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics
Written by Administrator
Sunday, 06 May 2007
Studentship: Up to £15,500 per annum
Fixed term appointment for three years
The Centre for Water Systems (www.exeter.ac.uk/cws) is the largest UK
research group working in the field of urban water engineering.
Applications are invited for a PhD Studentship post in water distribution
systems modelling and optimization. This position is related to a new EPSRC
funded collaborative project (NEPTUNE) in which 8 universities and three
industrial partners will be working together to improve real-time management of
water distribution networks. The successful applicant will register for a fully
supported PhD degree. You will collaborate in undertaking advanced computer
modelling work (network operations modelling, development of intelligent data
mining techniques, decision support tools, etc), to examine the effects of
network failures (pipe bursts, discolouration events, etc) on optimal operation
of the system.
Applicants should have a first degree in Engineering (preferably a MEng in
Civil Engineering). An MSc (or equivalent) in a water engineering/modelling
and/or practical experience would be advantageous. The research will suit a
graduate with a strong academic background and an interest in computing work.
The ideal applicant would possess knowledge and experience relevant to the
development and implementation of clean water models, computational hydraulics
and numerical methods. Research expertise related or complementary to the
Centre's current research is preferred, but good candidates in other areas of
water quantity/quality modelling, optimisation methods, water-industry problems
and pipe network management will be considered.
Please note the sponsor will pay fees up to the UK/EU rate for home and EU
citizens. However, overseas students will need to fund the balance of the fees
for overseas Research Students.
Informal enquiries should be made to either to Prof. Dragan Savic at
, telephone, 01392
263637, Dr Zoran Kapelan at
, telephone,
01392 264054 or Dr Christos Makropoulos at
,
telephone 01392 264049.
To apply please send an up-to-date curriculum vitae, with details of the
names and addresses of two referees to:
Prof. Dragan Savic
