1 Postdoc in Geosciences on Integrated Hydrosystem Modelling (m/f) at the Department of Geosciences in Germany | University of Tuebingen

The International Research Training Group (IRTG) “Integrated Hydrosystem Modelling” at the Universities of Tübingen (Germany), Hohenheim (Germany), and Waterloo (Canada) targets at developing and applying numerical models of flow and reactive solute transport in coupled hydrosystems comprising of land-surface and subsurface compartments. These models are needed to assess the impacts of environmental change on water quantity and quality at catchment scale. The IRTG offers a structured PhD program at the German partner universities with joint international training and supervision.

We seek for 1 Postdoctoral Researcher (2 years, 100% TV-L E14) starting on June 1, 2014 following his/her own research agenda fitting into the research program and contributing to the integration of the IRTG. Candidates for the postdoctoral position are requested to submit a research plan.

Applicants must have finished his/her PhD in the research field of the IRTG, show a good publication record, and should have gained specialized knowledge in process analysis or hydrosystem modeling. We expect an independent, documented research agenda fitting into the topics of the IRTG, willingness to train and collaborate with doctoral candidates, and very good communication skills. Experience in an international research context is preferred. Experience in using HydroGeoSphere is beneficial, but not mandatory.

The participating universities want to increase the number of female researchers, particularly in the field of modeling, and specifically encourage female candidates to apply.

Special gender-equality measures will be emplaced within the IRTG.

Disabled persons will be preferred in case of equal qualification.
