We seek to appoint an expert in empirical research and modeling in applied geology focusing on water resources in conjunction with climate impact assessment and potential links to engineering geology and hydrogeology. Applications of geographic information systems (GIS) in research and teaching are encouraged. The willingness to engage in interdisciplinary research with mineralogy, geodynamics, tectonics, paleobiology, and geography including designing and participating in collaborative projects is expected. This includes the development of an internationally visible research and teaching program within the Department of Geography and Geosciences and should include topics related to sustainable use of geo-resources, climate change impacts and mitigation. The GZN provides an excellently equipped and vibrant active environment to enhance existing expertise in environmental and geosciences with new field methods and modeling approaches.

Successful candidates demonstrate excellent academic achievements in research and teaching at the highest international standards. You have substantial research experience abroad and/or international cooperations as well as experience in managing research projects and in raising third-party funding. A university degree and an outstanding doctoral degree as well as a passion for education and pertinent teaching experience are prerequisites. Candidates who are able and willing to teach in both English and German are desired. The position also requires additional postdoctoral qualifications. These should be in the form of a habilitation (postdoctoral thesis) or equivalent academic qualifications.
