The Applied and Environmental Geophysics (AUG) Group at ETH (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) in Zurich has openings for two gifted young geophysicist at the post-doctoral level. The appointments will be for an initial period of two years. Subject to good performance and funding, one of the positions may be extended for an additional two years. We seek excellent scientists who have expertise and interests in theoretical and/or practical aspects of applied, engineering, and environmental geophysics (including hydrogeophysics). The successful candidates will be expected to: (i) initiate and conduct their own research projects, (ii) co-supervise undergraduate- and graduate-level thesis projects, and (iii) contribute to the teaching of applied, engineering and environmental geophysics courses. Furthermore, they will participate in the teaching of a recently launched joint MSc degree in Applied Geophysics with colleagues at the Technical University of Delft (TUD) and the Aachen University of Technology (RWTH). Good knowledge of English is essential and it would be an advantage, although not essential, to have a working understanding of German. At the time of appointment, the successful candidate must have a doctoral degree in geophysics or related subject. Information on AUG's research activities can be found at http://www.aug.geophys.ethz.ch/ and the joint MSc degree at http://www.idealeague.org/geophysics/.

To apply please post or email your resume together with the names, telephone numbers, and e mail addresses of two referees to Professor Alan G. Green, Institute of Geophysics, ETH-Zürich, CH-8093, Zürich, Switzerland, green@aug.ig.erdw.ethz.ch. Deadline for receipt of applications is June 30, 2008.
