The Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development at Utrecht University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level. We are searching for a highly motivated natural scientist in the fields of water resources management, hydrology and sustainability who fits with our interdisciplinary environmental sciences research group. Because of the male/female ratio of the Environmental Sciences group we especially invite female candidates to apply.
The Assistant Professor will contribute to scientific research and teaching in the field of water resources management in the light of sustainable development. Focus is on the knowledge of hydrological processes, how they are influenced by anthropogenic activities and how water resources management can steer environmental interactions in the direction of sustainable use of water resources and the associated ecosystem functions. Particular attention is foreseen to the spatial and temporal patterns of, and the interactions between, the relevant physico-chemical and human processes on the regional scale of catchments and/or aquifers.
