(Fixed Term Contract for 12 months)
Here at Cranfield, we can offer you the opportunity and resources to really develop your career. Cranfield is an exclusively postgraduate university that is a global leader for education and transformational research in technology and management.
The Water theme has an international reputation for its transformational research and teaching in the science, engineering and management of water in the municipal, industrial and natural environments. Our activities deliver pioneering research that has changed water management thinking and practice and provide progressive educational and research support for practitioners, often through ground breaking collaborations with the private sector. These contributions are founded on strong scientific foundations and are drawn from right across the science and humanities spectrum.
You will support the Institute’s contribution to two major projects funded by the Natural Environment Research Council’s Drought and Water Scarcity programme. You will explore the historical impacts of droughts and water scarcity (D&WS) on UK agriculture and evaluate the effectiveness of improved risk-based water management strategies to reduce future impacts on UK irrigated agriculture. You will also support the delivery of other research contracts for clients on a range of water resource management issues including water security, catchment processes, and agricultural water use.
You will have a PhD obtained (or be close to completion) in Environmental Science or a related discipline, strong data analysis, experience of applying GIS and a range of modelling techniques or disciplines to environmental problems, a growing publication track record and well-developed written and oral communication skills.
