Dear Sir and Madam of the River-List
 
My name is Benedetta Rocco and I am an Environmental and Land Protection Engineer (MSc). graduated from the Polytechnic of Milan, Italy in June 99.
 
I'm presently working in the Secretariat of IAHR, responsible of managing the Journal of Hydraulics Research; the job I’m doing is much more related with organisation and managing contacts than technical but is providing me with an invaluable experience in an other country and enabling me to improve my English (I'm already fluent in French). My contract here is due to end in March and I'm now looking for a more technical job.
 
What I'm looking for is a temporary (say six months/one year but no limits in principle) job/internship in order to enlarge my experience and improve my knowledge; any field related with Hydraulics, Water and Land Protection would suit, both within research or consulting firms. I'm very interested in hydraulics modelling. I have no problem of course to travel and to do field work.
 
I' m willing to work hard and learn and any help to find something would be much appreciated.
 
I'm enclosing my CV, as you can see I did my master thesis at the well-know ENEL-Hydraulic and Structural Research Centre, developing an innovative use of tetrapods for river protection works: therefore, my experience till now is in Fluvial Engineering, but my university background covers also Hydrology, Geotechnical and Maritime Engineering.
 
Looking forward to hearing from you and a good advice is always welcome.
Sincerely, yours
 
Benedetta Rocco
