Vacancy No. 24/3/12 G
The Helmholtz Centre Potsdam, German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), is the national Research Centre for Geosciences in Germany and a member of the Helmholtz Association. The geodynamics group, Section 3.1 "Lithosphere Dynamics" at the GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam seeks individuals with experience in active tectonics for a
2 Research scientist position (m/f)
in the field of Active Tectonics.
Tasks:
Current research of the geodynamics group focuses on interdisciplinary system analysis of plate boundary zones with particular focus on the interaction of tectonic mass flux, earthquake deformation processes, and seismotectonics at GFZ's Earth System Observatories and in our own state-of-the-art tectonic analogue laboratory. The successful candidate is expectedto participate in an integrated field and laboratory-based research program. In addition to experience in investigation of active deformation at plate boundary zones
Qualifications:
A PhD in geology, geophysics or related fields is required. We especially welcome candidates with expertise in modern quantitative methods in several of the following research fields: tectonic geomorphology and paleoseismology, seismotectonics, structural geology, instrumental methods of deformation analysis, simulation techniques and numerical methods. The applicant should have experience in field work and quantitative studies. The successful candidate should have a record of external funding and publications and is encouraged to contribute to existing projects and initiate own projects within our program. GFZ offers a unique opportunity to integrate research with a range of research groups and state of the art facilities.
