"Research Position - Kiwi Country (NZ)"
RESEARCH POSITION:

Subsurface-hydrologist/Modeller specialising in the vadose zone/groundwater continuum with Lincoln Environmental at Ruakura Research Center, Hamilton, New Zealand. Lincoln Environmental is a division of Lincoln Ventures Ltd, a research and development company wholly owned by Lincoln University.

The successful candidate would be an integral part of our research team working on groundwater quality protection. The team works on the impacts of landuse on groundwater resources, focusing on water and solute movement and transformations in the soil/vadose-zone/groundwater continuum.

We require a researcher with a proven record of conducting independent scientific work. You will have expertise and field experience in the measurement, analysis, and modelling of the physical and biochemical processes in shallow groundwater and vadose zones.

Working knowledge of one or more of the following areas would be of benefit:
· Geochemistry
· Groundwater resource assessment

Additionally, the successful candidate will meet the following requirements:
* Ability to design, install and conduct innovative field and laboratory research.
* Ability to coordinate research projects and to identify research needs.
* Ability to communicate effectively in written and oral form.
* Proven record in publishing research papers and/or consultancy reports.
* PhD in an appropriate field.

BENEFITS
The position is a permanent position and the salary will be commensurate with qualification and experience.

APPLICATION DETAILS
For further information about this position please contact Dr Greg Barkle
Barkle@lvlham.lincoln.ac.nz.
Applications for this position close on 22nd September 2003.

2. "RE: Research Position - Kiwi Country (NZ)"
I am a scientist from Central Soil & Water Conservation Research & Training Institute, Research Centre, VASAD. This institute is under Indian council of Agricultural Research, Min. of Agriculture, Govt. of India.

I received Ph.D.Degree from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur in year 2003. My thesis title is " Soil Moisture Distribution under a Point Source Emitter: Development and Application of Mathematical Models" . The topic includes the movement of moisture under a point source considering plant water extraction in a hysteresis affected soil in multi-layered configuration.

At present I am working on a project as principal investigator entitled "Effect of conservation structures on groundwater recharge" . The basic aim of the project is to assess the potential recharge taking from different water harvesting/ storage structures and their contribution to groundwater system i.e the interaction on a watershed basis. Beside this, groundwater quality aspects are also being studied on a monthly basis in the whole watershed.
My proficiency in the relevant areas are as follows:
Computer/Mathematical skills:
Programming in Languages C and FORTRAN
experience in numerical methods predominantly used in water resources modeling, like FEM, FDM, and seeking analytical solution to PDE (Parabolic and elliptic, never worked on hyperbolic situations)
Familiar with environments like WINDOWS 9x/NT/2000/XP, UNIX, LINUX(Redhat)
Application software : (Skill from good to moderately good)
o Statistical : SYSTAT 8.0, STAISTICA v5.0
o Mathematical : MATLAB
o Modeling (hydrological) : VS2DTI (transport module water and solute), HYDRUS-2D/SWMS-2D/, RETC, ROSETTA
o Geostatistical analysis : GEOAS, VARIOWIN, SURFER
o Mapping : SURFER 8.0

Developed programmes (Language C)(Ph.D.):
o STEADYFEM (DOS based):

Steady state finite element model to simulate soil moisture distribution under a point source emitter in variable antecedent soil moisture condition in hysteresis affected multi-layered soil including dynamic two-dimensional root growth with water extraction.

o WAARICK (DOS based): Unsteady analytical model developed by Warrick (1974) to simulate soil moisture distribution under multiple point sources emitter with parametric modification to introduce AMC condition, hysteresis in soil with multi-layered configurations.

I have got Some modeling experience on surface hydrology too using FEM (HRU based)
