A PhD scholarship is available at the Department of Environmental, Social and Spatial Change (ENSPAC),
Modelling spatial catchment hydrology using Earth Observation and Distributed Temperature Sensing of streams.
The purpose of the PhD project is to use distributed temperature sensing (DTS) of streams to improve the spatial parameterization and modelling of catchment hydrological processes. The DTS system uses a long (2 km) fiber-optic cable to provide stream temperature measurements with 1 m resolution. In particular, the system will be used to identify, parameterize and model lateral inflows to the stream in relation to the spatial characteristics of the upland contributing areas. The PhD student will be involved in measuring, analyzing and modelling the data using also ancillary information.
The scholarship is financed by the Danish Research Council for Technology and Production as part of a larger research project which includes the use of Earth observation and other spatial data for modelling hydrological and atmospheric processes (www.upscalehydrology.ruc.dk). The PhD student will be working in the research project group and is co-supervised by the Department of Environmental Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Environment) who is also a research project partner. The PhD student will be affiliated to the Graduate Programme in Environmental Stress Studies (GESS) at Roskilde University. GESS is an international graduate program that covers a broad range of research topics within the area of environmental stress (www.ruc.dk/gess).
Candidates with a background in physical geography or environmental engineering and with an interest in both field hydrology and hydrological modelling are encouraged to apply for the position. Experience in hydrological modelling, spatial data management, computer programming, field hydrology and/or data analysis is considered advantageous. Further information can be obtained by contacting Eva Boegh (eboegh@ruc.dk, tel +45 46743942) or Dan Rosbjerg (dr@env.dtu.dk, tel +45 45251449).
Employment as Ph.d. student is for up to 3 years. The employment includes up to 840 hours work at the department (teaching, research communication etc.) The applicant should be willing to work with national and international monitoring programs and assessment of environmental quality. Salary and other conditions are in accordance with agreement between the Danish Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations.
Candidates receiving GESS scholarships are automatically registered in the school. They are expected to participate actively in relevant courses, seminars and other activities arranged by GESS.
Roskilde University encourages all interested applicants, regardless of age, sex religious or ethnic background to apply.
The application should include a project proposal description (max 5 pages), candidate certificate, and curriculum vitae. Letters of recommendation may also be submitted. The application should be submitted in 5 copies to

Hi, Any idea how scholarships for United States Airforce Works? What is the age eligibility?
Let me introduce myself. I am Guesh Zeru from Ethiopia. I am 32 years old. I had a B.Sc degree in applied geology and a graduate of Master degree in hydrogeology both from Mekelle University (Ethiopia) in 2007. My master’s thesis is on the Title of Groundwater modelling (both transient and steady groundwater flow /2D and 3D visualization/, vertically 20 layer model using Numerical finite difference method). This was to evaluate the potential of the basin and to set the optimum abstraction rate from the well field, and I have CGPA 3.84. I am well familiar with groundwater modelling, and I do have sound knowledge on MODFLOW & 3D master program, ArcView & ArcGIS, Groundwater MODELLING (Modflow&3D), Surfer8, Globalmapper,Geophisics (IPI2&winresist), Aquitest (for pumping test analyses), Aquakame (for water chemistry analysis), ILWIS all extensions and I have around 7 years of experience in field of hydrogeology /Investigation of groundwater potentials, identifying well fields, Evaluation of potentials of well fields using modelling for urban water supply & for Irrigation and drilling supervisions. By now I am working In DEBREMARKOS UNIVERSITY (ETHIOPIA) as full time lecturer and I give the course of hydrology, geology and Remotsensing&GIS. Now I am looking for a PhD degree and I am highly interested to do my PhD on the field of (hydrology/hydrogeology fields, groundwater MODELING (flow and Transport), surface water & groundwater interaction through modelling and geochemical tracers). this is not only for water managment but also contributing solutions for the global enviromental issus Co2 emission wastwater disposal. So, please consider me on the position you have or help me please I am able to work hard, I am flexible, opened minded and eager to learn to do something new challenges. I think it would be a perfect start of my career. I hop that the above experience, knowledge and skill make me convenient for filling your scholarship PhD position.
Hoping to hear the best, I remain.
With best regard
Thank you very much.
