at the GFZ (GeoForschungsZentrum) Germany’s national centre for Geosphere research in Potsdam
We are looking to hire a Working Group Leader in any field of Earth surface processes numerical modelling, i.e., investigating processes and/or integrating data to answer questions pertaining to (but not limited to) the short- and long-term evolution of Earth’s surface morphology, its links with climate or the biota, the impact of human activities and of on-going climate change on landforming processes, or the parameterization and modelling of specific Earth surface processes. We encourage applications from those interested in using classical or novel modelling methods (deterministic numerical models, or data-driven methods such as data mining, machine learning or deep learning).
The position will be based in the Earth Surface Process Modelling section at the GFZ (Section 4.7). We are particularly interested in candidates who wish to develop a research program that allows them to collaborate with members of other sections and departments; in particular, those who collect relevant geophysical, geochemical, hydrological or biological data.
The Working Group Leader is expected to develop an independent research program within the context of the Center’s research program “Changing Earth – Sustaining our Future”, to attract external funding, to supervise Post-docs and PhD students and to participate in collaborative and interdisciplinary research activities and discussions within our research group/section and with local and international collaborators. The Working Group Leader has access to a budget guaranteeing basic research operation and funding for one researcher position (Post-doc or PhD level).
Researchers in the Earth Surface Process Modelling section work on a broad range of themes and come from widely different backgrounds. We are committed to a collaborative environment to ensure that members can rely on each other’s support. We value the development of meaningful skills and experience for the personal careers of our members. We believe that a diverse team is a stronger team.
