We have funding for a PhD studentship on an EU Project on Low-head Hydropower.
*PhD Opportunity in Low-head Hydropower at UNESCO-IHE, Delft*
UNESCO-IHE's Department of Water Engineering has the opportunity for a suitably qualified student to study for a PhD on Low-head Hydropower. The work is part of a European Union project led at UNESCO-IHE by Nigel Wright<http://www.unesco-ihe.org/users/prof_n_g_wright_phd/>, Professor of Hydraulic Engineering and River Basin Development.
The project will involve the use and developed of advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics to optimise turbines used in Low-head Hydropower. Use will be made of commercially available software with suitable adaptation and simulations will be carried out on a dedicated PC cluster. Investigation is also required on the development and implementation of the technology for developing countries.
The project covers tuition fees and a maintenance allowance and is open to students of any nationality. The successful applicant will need to satisfy the admission regulations of UNESCO-IHE (
http://www.unesco-ihe.org/education/prospective_students/admission_requirements/).
The PhD will be awarded jointly with Delft University of Technology.
Candidates are required to have a Masters degree in a relevant subject.
Experience in numerical modelling is highly desirable. Good skills in
written and verbal presentation in English are required.
More information on UNESCO-IHE can be found at www.unesco-ihe.org.
Suitably qualified applicants should send a CV and letter of motivation to
Prof Wright at: LHH.PhD@gmail.com before April 18th 2008.
