The Geomorphology & Geochronology chair group focuses on how physical, biological, and anthropogenic processes shape the outer skin of our planet. To expand our team, we seek for a talented candidate with in-depth knowledge of (soil-)landscape evolution across different spatial and temporal scales. You will get the unique opportunity to use field, laboratory, and geochronological data to test and develop new numerical modeling tools and to establish a geomorphic software laboratory. Although this position is primarily located at the chair group for geomorphology & geochronology (Prof. Reimann) the combination with other chronometric techniques such as cosmogenic nuclides is possible within the department and highly encouraged. We expect the candidate to establish strong research links to other disciplines within the Department of Geosciences.
YOUR TASKS
- Integrating field and geochronological data to establish rates of Earth Surface Processes (incl. uncertainties)
- Setting up a geomorphological software laboratory
- Initiating applications for research grants
- Publication of results in international peer reviewed journals
- Bridging across disciplines within Geosciences Department
- Building a strong teaching profile in Physical Geography
YOUR PROFILE
- Degree in Geosciences (preferably associated with Geomorphology)
- Affinity with numerical modeling Earth Surface Processes
- Affinity with programing software codes, preferably in “R”
- Strong academic track record
- Affinity with teaching
- Very good communication skills in English (oral & written)
- Willingness to learn a proficient level of German in 2 years
WE OFFER YOU
