Initiative to Tackle Flood Skills Shortage05/06/2009 |
|
| Scotland's environment watchdog is launching an initiative with two of Scotland's universities to address the shortage of skilled scientists to meet Scotland's future flood risk management challenge. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) is announcing the creation of new trainee posts this and the following two years within their flood risk science training programme. |

The successful candidates will work for SEPA on a part time basis whilst also studying for Masters of Science (MSc) degrees at either the University of Dundee or Stirling, SEPA's partners in this initiative. When qualified, it is anticipated that successful graduates will be offered permanent jobs in SEPA helping deliver improved flood risk management for Scotland and meeting the challenges of the forthcoming Flooding Bill. Full details of the positions available online, including entry requirements, are available at. Both courses are open to applications from other full time and part time students.
