Applicants are invited for a six-years position in the field of low-temperature stable isotope geochemistry. Candidates should hold a PhD degree, have a strong track record in environmental stable isotope geochemistry and experience in gas isotope mass spectrometry. The successful candidate will be expected to operate a gas-IRMS lab, teach classes in advanced stable isotope geochemistry as well as basic and advanced geochemical lab-courses, and participate in ongoing projects of the research group including fitness for field and maritime campaigns. The candidate will also be expected to develop a strong research program in low-temperature stable gas isotope geochemistry. Candidates with experience in stable isotope hydrology or three-isotope systems are particularly welcome.

The institute is currently focusing its research activities in the fields of quaternary geosciences and isotope geochemistry. Laboratories include gas-IRMS, organic and inorganic geochemistry, MC-ICP-MS in addition to the Cologne-AMS facility.

Applications should include a statement of research and teaching interests, curriculum vitae, proof of qualification and contact information for at least three individuals who can provide letters of recommendation. Review of completed applications will begin June 9^th, 2013.

Applications and information requests should be sent to:
