Ph.D. position in hydrology
Subject : “Application of functional connectivity indicators for improving subgrid surface flow hydrogram estimation in distributed hydrological modelling”
The Agricultural Engineering research group of the Earth and Life Institute is offering a PhD fellowship for a period of up to 4 years to work on the refinement of surface flow modelling at the subgrid scale of distributed hydrological models.
Research project summary
Subgrid modelling of surface hydrological flow in physically-based, spatially-distributed models is currently based on the use of effective parameters which cannot properly capture the subgrid connectivity of surface runoff. A promising connectivity function – the Relative Surface Contribution function (RSC) (Antoine et al., 2009) - has been recently developed and tested at the 1 m² scale, which improves the modelling of subgrid runoff generation. This project seeks to pursue the integration of the subgrid connectivity function in spatially-distributed hydrological models and to test the scale-dependency of the RSC function and its time-rate of change for contrasted initial conditions. This will involve a combination of field/lab and numerical experiments.
The Institution
The candidate will be hosted in the Agricultural Engineering research group of the Earth an Life Institute (ELI) of the Université catholique de Louvain in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. The Environmental sciences section of ELI offers a dynamic, multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary research environment dealing with various topics related to agriculture and the environment. The research activities of the Agricultural Engineering research group focus on water resources, soil-plant interactions and soil conservation. Additional information concerning the Environmental sciences section of the Earth and Life institute can be found at http://www.uclouvain.be/ , and regarding UCL at http://www.uclouvain.be/ . Collaboration with research groups in The Netherlands and France is expected.
Applications
The successful candidate should be a national from a European country and hold a M.Sc. degree in hydrology, earth or environmental sciences (or related disciplines). Experience with modelling and a good mathematical background will be an advantage. The candidate will be attributed a renewable fellowship (€2,300 – 2,570 per month depending on prior degree) for an initial duration of 15 months. In addition, he/she will benefit from social security coverage.
Candidates should send by October 15, 2010 – preferably by email - a letter of intent, the name and address of 2 referees, a curriculum vitae and a copy of the grades obtained for the masters degree to:

Ph.D. position in hydrology
The way to AMINEF in Gedung Balai Pustaka
American Indonesian Exchange Foundation
Balai Pustaka Building, 6th. Floor
Jl. Gunung Sahari Raya No. 4
Jakarta 10720, Indonesia
1. The buses which goes to Senen Bus Station all of them pass through Gedung Balai Pustaka. Especially which route is through Pasar Baru .
2. Bus Transjakarta, from Blok M you have to change the bus 2-3 times.
Way 1 : from Blok M change the bus in Dukuh Atas bus stop to the bus towards Pulogadung, then take a bus in Pramuka bus stop towards Ancol, this bus pass through Gedung Balai Pustaka. The closest bus stop (Budi Utomo) is about 800 meters from Gedung Balai .
Way 2 : From Blok M take the bus in the Harmoni Bus Stop, the bus towards Pulogadung, get down in Senen Bus Stop and walk about 800 meters, or from this bus stop take the bus towards Ancol and get down as mentioned in way 1. About the distance, this two bus stops is about the same. (It is better if you take ojek or bajaj from this bus stop to Gedung Balai Pustaka)
3. If you take taxi with old tariff (TL=Tarif Lama) from blok M with no traffic jam is about Rp. 30.000,00.
4. From Blok M use bus Patas AC 76. Gedung Balai Pustaka is in the right side, after you pass through Depag, and say to conductor "Balai Pustaka"
5. Use a busway from Blok M towards Kota, get down in Sawah Besar bus stop. From here take a Mikrolet M12 towards Senen. After cross road Wahidin and before senen get down and cross the street.
