Opportunities

Here are some opportunities that may be of interest:

CEH Hydro-JULES Programmes


- The first Hydro-JULES Summer School will run 12-16th July 2021 (delayed 12 months by Covid). *** APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN UNTIL 30th APRIL 2021 ***.


- The Hydro-JULES summer student programme was launched 15-MAY-19 to allow graduate students to visit CEH to work on specific projects with a member of the Hydro-JULES team (internships up to eight weeks, paid pro rata at NERC PB8 rate (c. £20k p.a.)). *** APPLICATIONS CURRENTLY CLOSED (because of Covid-19) UNTIL MARCH 2021 ***.


- The Hydro-JULES visiting scientist programme intends to facilitate collaborations that will share knowledge, advance existing research, stimulate new research areas, allow collective response to scientific initiatives, raise the international profile of CEH and enable new relationships to be built in the following environmental research fields:
  • Quantification of hydro-meteorological risks,
  • Using high-resolution climate predictions for hydrological applications,
  • Calculation the impacts of environmental change on evaporation, transpiration, and soil moisture,
  • Modelling flood inundation over large areas,
  • Representing anthropogenic interventions in the water cycle, and
  • Application of new techniques including Earth observation and data assimilation.
The Programme provides funding of up to £2,500 per applicant to support work that is aligned to the Hydro-JULES strategy, by hosting UK and international scientists visiting and working within CEH. *** THIS SCHEME HAS NO DEADLINE: JUST APPLY ***.

See video here for UKCEH's achievements in its first year of independence after Dec 2019.

For UKCEH, see our vacancies page (those only open to existing CEH employees are either on Workday or here) and training opportunities

OTHER INTERNSHIPS:

If you are interested in what I do and/or any of my projects but none of the opportunities above are appropriate (or you are not eligible), then I'm very open to people who would like to
     (a) Visit me at UKCEH and find out a little about this place (see video here) and what I do (see above): send me an email and give me a bit of notice, but I'm always open to this. 10am-lunchtime is generally a good time. The address of CEH Wallingford is here and there are direct buses from Oxford and Reading.
     (b) Do a short internship with me (~ up to 1 month). If you want to gain some experience in environmental science / ecology / hydrology / environmental modelling, then I can arrange a temporary desk for you at CEH Wallingford (any time of year, but subject to me being here too during the time you choose, of course). I can't offer to pay you or cover expenses, but these days getting experience on your CV is always good and you never know where these things might lead (it's not quite as bad as Conservation Science yet, but it's a very rough job market out there ...). I've hosted 3-4 people on this basis since 2015 from school-leavers to undergraduates and they've all told me they benefited greatly from the experience. No, you don't necessarily need to know how to code or do stats: you can choose the project and if we need skills like that then I'll take you through the basics. See here and send me an email if you are interested.

In March 2020 we reran the course we did in February 2018 on Big Data in Environmental Biology. Again, it was heavily over-subscribed. No date set yet for another run of it, but check back here in the future.

Dates: 16 - 19 March 2020
Venue: Department for Continuing Education, Oxford
A NERC-funded four-day postgraduate skills training course on how to analyse very large environmental and ecological data-sets with advanced multivariate statistics (including big data analysis) that aims to provide integrated training for those needing a skillset of statistical approaches for industry-specific applications in ecology and environmental science that is relevant to student research and employability needs. The course itself and accommodation in Oxford are free to any successful applicant irrespective of nationality, along with a limited travel budget. Priority is given to NERC funded PhD students.
The course aims to impart an in-depth knowledge of current analytical techniques in several important statistical and industry-relevant areas. The course is based wholly on R and features comprehensive, real-life projects and case studies, all demonstrated by expert facilitators.
For further information on the course and to apply please see here.
