Hi, due to essayforum policy, I can only re-open the thread of 2018/2019 and continue posting. This is my Career plan essay for 2019/2020. Pease help me to make it more competitive. Thanks in advance
CAREER PLAN ESSAY FOR 2019/2020The increasing developments in instrumentation, technology and interpretation techniques allow geophysics to indirectly map physical parameters to solve complex geological tasks. During my master, I will evolve and be able to help my country in challenging sectors that concur with DFID priorities.
For 2018/19, DFID plans to spend 53% of its planned budget for Mozambique to Human Development Sector and support the transformation of rural water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) service delivery is the second priority of DFID in Mozambique. The WASH programme will contribute to reduce child deaths caused by WASH absence, under-nutrition and the sacrifice people do to get water. After returning home, I will continue at HMR or secure job in another consultant to contribute for the success of the WASH project in water component, conducting hydrogeological studies, monitoring boreholes, making more accurate surveys in order to reduce the probability of negative boreholes and modelling the spread of aquifers.
One of the examples of UK support for Mozambique's development, is the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed on 15 February 2018 between Aberdeen City and City of Pemba to use Scottish expertise in the Oil and Gas sector to transform Mozambique focused on cooperation and trade development. As a chevener geophysicist, I will use the MoU to secure a job in the Oil and Gas sector, collaborate and implement programmes to exploit Mozambique's untapped resources as part of economic diversification. In a few years, my determination, skills and achievements will give me the chance to progress to a senior role in management and networking opportunities.
Many geophysical companies in Mozambique offer services related to natural resources. Thus, as a long-term plan, I intend to create a geophysical company not only focused on natural resources but also in environmental and hazards (floods, earthquake, and others) sectors. The DFID is supporting programs to undertake Humanitarian and Climate and Environment challenges (18% and 2% of 2018/19 DFID budget for Mozambique is directed to these sectors respectively).
To help Mozambique and DFID to tackle these challenges, for instance, the company will use geophysical techniques to identify hydrogeological characteristics that influence flood parameters. These results can be used with modelling techniques to identify causes and effects of flooding making possible their risk assessment and monitoring, helping the government to strengthen hazards policies and the capacity to respond to emergency situations. In environmental sector, the company will work with problems related with karst collapse, mine subsidence, detect buried waste, determine the source and level of pollutants and develop plans to reduce and evaluate the impact of contaminants.
The company will also make MoUs with universities to accept interns and create programs to develop fairs in schools to awake pupils love for science. After my PhD, we will make partnerships with universities and other institutions to develop a research division and contribute to science development. I am quite sure that Chevening will give me the necessary tools to start this journey to realize my plans and contribute to the Millennium Development Goals.
