Researcher in modelling solute transport in surface water

at  Wageningen University Research

DO YOU WANT TO BE PART OF A CHALLENGING RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT AND WORK ON SOLUTIONS FOR A BIODIVERSE AND SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT? ARE YOU A RESEARCHER IN HYDROLOGY AND/OR SOLUTE TRANSPORT MODELLING IN SURFACE WATER, AND ARE YOU INTERESTED IN THE USE AND FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF SIMULATION MODELS? DO YOU WANT TO DO APPLIED RESEARCH IN SOCIETALLY RELEVANT TOPICS SUCH AS THE IMPACT OF AND OTHER STRESSORS IN THE ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE FOOD PRODUCTION? THEN THIS COULD BE YOUR IDEAL NEXT JOB!

The Environmental Risk Assessment team at Wageningen University and Research is looking for a new colleague to strengthen the team, with a background in modelling of water flows, hydrology, system analysis and/or environmental science. You will contribute to the further development, application and testing of our surface water transport model TOXSWA, which is applied on local and on catchment scale. You will take the role of researcher in some projects and, when applicable, lead relevant projects with a variety of clients (government agencies, NGOs, and industries).
Together with colleagues, you will set out, reshape, acquire necessary funding and implement strategic development lines. You will work in an enthusiastic, multidisciplinary, multi-national team including researchers working with environmental fate models such as (geo) PEARL, ecological effect models, and their integration, as well as researchers working on environmental chemistry, aquatic eco(toxico)logy and environmental risks to bees or arthropods.
