The working group Hydrogeology and Landscape Hydrology at the Department of Biology and Environmental Sciences offers a position for a:

PhD-student
(pay grade 13 TV-L, 50 %)

The position is available for 3 years, starting as soon as possible.

The working group Hydrogeology and Landscape Hydrology investigates hydraulic and hydrochemical processes in the aquatic environment, in particular the interaction between surface water and groundwater, water and matter transport in landscapes, the role of water in ecosystems and the behaviour of pollutants in groundwater.

The position is part of a DFG research project on the behavior of wastewater-bound organic micropollutants in groundwater with a particular focus on their redox-dependent biodegradation and long-term persistence. Laboratory experiments and field investigations on contaminated groundwater downstream of former sewage irrigation fields in Berlin are carried out within the project. The successful candidate will perform accompanying reactive transport modeling of field- and laboratory data to confirm developed conceptual models and to derive degradation rate constants in relation to the prevailing redox regime.

We are looking for a modeler with a university degree (Master or Diplom) in earth sciences, physics, applied mathematics, computer sciences or an equivalent education. The ideal candidate will have experience in numerical reactive transport modeling and a keen interest in hydrogeology and environmental sciences.

The University of Oldenburg strives to increase the percentage of female employees in the field of science and encourages applications from female candidates. Handicapped applicants will be given preference in case of equal qualifications.

Applications can be submitted until the 31.10.2010 to Prof. Dr. Gudrun Massmann, Department of Biology and Environmental Sciences, Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, D26111 Oldenburg. For further inquires please contact Ms. Massmann at gudrun.massmann@uni-oldenburg.de.

Searching for scholarships Tips

Searching for scholarships is a time consuming and, sometimes, costly experience that, with the right tools and guidance, can be relatively stress free and efficient. Knowing what sources to use, who to consult and basic strategy techniques can save a lot of unnecessary paperwork and time.

School Resources – Use Them!

Start with the easiest and most practical resource you have – your guidance counselor or advisor. Schools hire guidance counselors and advisors to help you make the transition into higher education and to assist in every manner possible when making that transition. Guidance counselors often have access to scholarship materials and applications that are available only to students at your school or are difficult to gain access to through other conventional methods. Additionally, if your school has a career center or library section devoted to college preparation, you have a good chance of finding scholarship materials as well. Look for books containing scholarships, different brochures promoting scholarships or other materials that may include such information.

If you know what colleges you’re most interested in attending, or already know where you will be attending college, then check with the financial aid office at those schools. Like high school specific scholarships, colleges frequently offer scholarships to students applying to or attending their school. Because the number of applicants for open scholarships is so large, it is always a good idea to start with scholarships available only to students at the high school you currently attend or at the college you plan on attending because the applicant pool is narrowed significantly.

Open Up Your Choices

After exhausting your resources at the respective career centers and financial aid offices, you can begin your scholarship search through the internet. The internet offers a wealth of scholarship information and opportunities, with some websites containing thousands of different scholarships. Many of these websites allow you to create a profile about yourself containing your grade point average, standardized test scores and extracurricular activities which will be compiled and then matched with scholarships meeting your profile. Some of these websites require a fee to use their services. Be sure you have used all other tools at your disposal before paying for a service that will provide you with a list of scholarships you are likely to find elsewhere for free.

Be specific and particular when reviewing the criteria scholarships require. If the scholarship qualifications include a grade point average of 3.2 and you have a 3.0, it generally isn’t worth your time to apply. Scholarship selection boards begin by narrowing their applicant pool down to students who qualify based on their initial application before reviewing essays, letters of recommendation and extracurricular activities. If your numbers don’t match the required criteria, all your time in preparing your application will likely be for nothing. Selection boards have a lot of applications to review, and they have to begin narrowing down their pool by first taking only applicants who meet the initial criteria. Instead, try to find scholarships which are specially tailored to some attribute you have that others may not. Many scholarships are based on the location you live in, gender, ethnicity or background. However, if, for example, your grade point average is close to meeting the specified criteria of the scholarship and you feel your grade point average will rise to meet that criteria once your last semester’s grades are added, then apply for the scholarship.

It All Pays in the End

The search for a scholarship can be lengthy and finding scholarships you are qualified for can be even more stressful. But your time and effort will pay off in the end if you have carefully sought out scholarships for which you qualify and have applied correctly. After all, the thousands of dollars a scholarship provides is well worth the hours spent finding the right scholarship for you.
