Doctoral student in Water Resources Engineering
Lund University, Faculty of Engineering, Division of Water Resources Engineering
The Faculty of Engineering at Lund University is based in Lund and has approximately 9000 students.
The research carried out is of a high international standard. The faculty comprises of 18 departments conducting research and education within areas such as built environment, environmental technology and chemical engineering. The Department of Building and Environmental Technology has eight divisions including the Division of Water Resources Engineering.
Subject description
This is a four-year PhD project in Water Resources Engineering (focus on Sustainable Water Quality Management), located within an attractive interdisciplinary research environment with opportunities for collaboration with other research groups across the South of Sweden and the United Kingdom. The project is rooted within sustainable water resources engineering research but offers unique possibilities to collaborate beyond disciplinary boundaries to advance sustainable drainage system and constructed wetland system research.
Flooding and water pollution affects sustainability and blue-green infrastructure in many ways. The effects come as a consequence of the damage done during flood events as well as point source and diffuse pollution. Economic and ecological losses occur both in the short-term and long-term. Flooding and aquatic pollution has a detrimental impact on water quality and the environment. Floods and pollution also destroy urban forms with social and cultural values. The PhD project aims to increase sustainability of the built environment with respect to water quality management, protecting blue-green infrastructure from pollution with sustainable drainage systems and wetlands.
Work duties
The main duties of doctoral students are to devote themselves to their research studies which includes participating in research projects and third cycle courses. The work duties will also include teaching and other departmental duties (no more than 20%).
The project will be centred around laboratory work and/or fieldwork on case studies close to Lund.The project will (a) increase the understanding with respect to processes within sustainable storm water and wastewater treatment systems such as wetlands; (b) provide efficient methods to assess water quality risks; (c) find relationships between water quality risks and resilience as well as environmental and socio-economic parameters; and (d) find methods to improve water quality management and resilience.
Admission requirements
A person meets the general admission requirements for third-cycle courses and study programmes if he or she:
• has been awarded a second-cycle qualification, or
• has satisfied the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 credits of which at least 60 credits were awarded in the second cycle, or
• has acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way in Sweden or abroad.
A person meets the specific admission requirements if he or she has
• at least 90 credits in subjects of relevance to the field including at least 60 second-cycle credits and a second-cycle degree project of at least 30 credits in the field, or
• a second-cycle degree in a relevant field.
The PhD research will be conducted in English. Good English scientific writing skills are therefore essential. However, knowledge of at least basic Swedish would be an advantage. The main supervisor speaks English and German.
Assessment criteria
We are looking for a person with a Master's degree (including a relevant degree project) in civil, environmental and water engineering or environmental science and management or similar areas. Documented experience in statistical and/or process-based modelling would be an advantage. A driving licence would be desirable for fieldwork. Knowledge of integrated water resources, wetlands, sustainable drainage, ecosystem services, physical and environmental geography, computer science and statistics are merits. Courses in or experience from analyses of spatial data is also qualifying. The applicant must be able to work well both individually and in a team.
Selection for third-cycle studies is based on the student's potential to profit from such studies. The assessment of potential is made primarily on the basis of academic results from the first and second cycle. Special attention is paid to the following:
1. Knowledge and skills relevant to the thesis project and the subject of study.
2. An assessment of ability to work independently and to formulate and tackle research problems.
3. Written and oral communication skills
4. Other experience relevant to the third-cycle studies, e.g. professional experience.
Consideration will also be given to good collaborative skills, drive and independence, and how the applicant, through his or her experience and skills, is deemed to have the abilities necessary for successfully completing the third cycle programme.
Instructions on how to apply
Applications shall be written in English and include a cover letter stating the reasons why you are interested in the position and in what way the research project corresponds to your interests and educational background. The application must also contain a CV, degree certificate or equivalent, and other documents you wish to be considered (grade transcripts, contact information for your references, letters of recommendation, etc.). Informal enquiries may be made to Prof. Miklas Scholz via e-mail (
