It will also be considered an advantage to have a research orientation that is compatible with the regional context of the Baltic Sea region. In addition, we expect intensive cooperation with the existing working groups of the institute and contributions to the universities research focus on “Environmental Change - Response and Adaptation” (ECRA).
In teaching, applied geology (including hydrogeology) should be covered in its entire breadth in bachelor's and master's courses. In addition, the successful candidate is expected to contribute to the new development of an institute-wide master's programme.
International peer-reviewed publications and successful third-party funding in the field of applied geology are expected as is the willingness to participate in committees and academic administration activities. Working experience abroad and the ability to teach in English are also desirable.
