We invite applications for a PhD position within the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft / German Research Foundation) project Influence of tillage practice on infiltration processes in agricultural catchments.
Content of the research project:
User Review
( votes)The influence of different tillage operations on runoff formation and runoff concentration will be analysed and physical-based modelled for small catchment areas (lower mesoscale < 6.3 km²). Therefore, data of agricultural catchment areas with conventional, integrated and ecological cultivation are used. The main focus is to determine the hydrological interaction between the processes which are influenced by different land use and tillage practice and to quantify the consequences of local measures to reduce runoff. The spatial and time series data are available in a high resolution and important processes (e.g. sealing of soil) are measured separate. Therefore, the processes can be verified, calibrated and validated both separate and in interaction.
Scenarios shall be simulated to quantify the effectiveness of tillage and soil coverage on water retention and runoff reduction. Possibilities and limits of flood protection will be analysed. At last test simulations will be realised with larger raster resolution to get an advice if it is possible to regionalize the scientific findings. If these tests are satisfactory, the transfer of processes and simulations to the upper mesoscale (100-1000 km²) will be carried out in a new project.
Job description
The successful candidate will work with the newest water balance model WaSiM-ETH 8.2.9 (see http://www.wasim.ch/en/index.html). The focus of the simulation is the evaluation of sealing processes due to erosive rain events in combination with different tillage operations.
Additionally, two dimensional overland flows will be modelled to fully understand different water pathways including infiltration and return flow. A comparison between conventional and ecological soil cultivation will conclude the research.
The applicant is expected to have a Diplom / M.Sc. in civil / environmental engineering or geographic / soil sciences.
Advanced scientific programming skills (FORTRAN90, MATLAB, UNIX) are expected and the ability to work efficiently in a team is regarded as essential.
The position is offered for 18 months. During this time period a PhD thesis can be completed because essential pre-work (data analysis, build-up of the WaSiM model) has already been done.
Payment is according to TVöD, E13 60% including extensive social security plans. It is possible to start the scientific work with a M.Sc.-Thesis on the basis of a student employment. After examination the position (TVöD, E13 60%) can be continued over the offered period (18 months).
The Universität der Bundeswehr seeks to increase the number of female scientists and encourages them to apply. Handicapped persons with comparable qualifications receive preferential status.
All applications (including a cover letter, a curriculum vitae and copies of scientific degrees), received before 1st of March 2009 will be considered. The position is open until filled.

Dear Sir/madam
I am extremely interested in applying my knowledge and experience to the PhD position in your lab. I recently read about it on the Nature jobs website. My education during B.Sc. of agricultural sciences (major in animal production), previous work and training experience, and my master degree in animal nutrition well to excel in this position.
I have excelled academically at Assiut University, maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 84.89% with the 1st honor degree in my undergraduate studying and receiving numerous academic awards and scholarships throughout my undergraduate and ostgraduate studying. In 2006, I have got the M.Sc. from Assiut University. And M.Sc. thesis is entitled «Canola meal versus undecorticated cottonseed cake and soybean meal as a protein supplement in growing lambs rations”. Nowadays, I am in Thessaloniki, Greece to collect some data for my PhD project. In addition, I have eight years of experience in different animal production laboratories, animal field work , which has given me the ability to respond correctly to challenging situations,, be patient, hard worker, and act politically with different personalities. I am eager to bring to your group the benefit of my experience, qualifications and skills which are nicely fit with your multidisciplinary project needs.
Please note that my CV exhibits my experience and accomplishments relating to the duties of this position. Having worked for the Assiut University as assistant lecturer in animal production department since Nov 2000 till the present time, attended many workshops through the Faculty and Leadership Development Project, Ministry of Higher Education, at Egypt. I gained a wide variety of communication and soft skills. These presentation skills, written and oral communication with undergraduate students, other scientific groups, community members and leaders, responding to students inquiries and interactive participating in inter-groups seminars.
I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss more specifically how I might apply my background to meet your project’s needs. Thank you for your consideration, and I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Mahmoud A.M. Abdullah
