We are looking for a talented scientist to deepen or to complement our existing expertise in near-surface imaging using radars. We are open to a wide-range of geophysical techniques (e.g. seismics, electrics, electromagnetics and others) including data analysis and modelling. We welcome scientific applications in terrestrial settings (e.g., near-surface geophysics, critical zone research, glaciology) that integrate well with other groups in our department. We provide much freedom to pursue individual research ideas.

- Establish an independent research profile, including acquisition of third party funding (for example from the German Science Foundation or the European Research Council).
- (Co-)supervision of student research at BSc, MSc and PhD levels.
- Teaching of 4 h per week per semester in courses relating to geophysics on BSc and MSc levels, including applied field mapping courses abroad.
Your profile:
- Dissertation in geophysics, physics, geosciences or related areas.
- Profound experience in one or several geophysical imaging techniques for the near surface which may include data integration & numerical modelling.
- Collegial personality within a workgroup environment, fluency in English.
- Motivation to establish own research profile and a strong academic track record.
