PhD Researcher in Alpine Geohazards and Landscape Evolution
3 weken geleden
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to contribute to our project on alpine geohazards and landscape evolution. The project aims to understand the impact of climate change and mountain building on alpine geohazards, with a focus on the Western Southern Alps of New Zealand.
The successful candidate will be part of a research team that integrates numerical and analytical techniques to study how environmental changes drive landscape evolution. The project involves two tightly integrated PhD positions, one focusing on quantifying post-glacial erosion and sediment dynamics, and the other on developing a next-generation landscape evolution model.
The PhD researcher will be responsible for conducting fieldwork, collecting and analyzing data, and developing and implementing numerical models. The project offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of new knowledge and methods in the field of alpine geohazards and landscape evolution.
Key Responsibilities- Conduct fieldwork in the Western Southern Alps of New Zealand to collect data on erosion and sediment dynamics.
- Analyze data using numerical models and techniques.
- Develop and implement new numerical models to simulate landscape evolution.
- Collaborate with the research team to integrate results and develop new knowledge.
- MSc degree in Earth Sciences or related field.
- Experience with numerical modeling and data analysis.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- A guaranteed monthly salary of € 2.872 (gross) per month during the first year that increases to a maximum of € 3.670 (gross) per month in the fourth year.
- Tuition fees and funding for field work, analytical expenses, conferences, and travel.
- A full-time 38-hour working week comes with a holiday leave entitlement of 232 hours per year.
- 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% end-of-year bonus.
We are an inclusive community that values diversity and internationalisation. We encourage anyone who recognizes themselves in this vacancy to respond, regardless of age, gender, origin, religion, philosophy of life, orientation, disability or chronic illness.
