The Institute of Geography at the University of Bremen, Germany, invites
applications for the following academic position, starting October 1,
2019, for the duration of three years:
PhD Student
salary grade EG 13 TV-L
50 % position
reference number: A131/19
The PhD student will work in the Climate Lab of the Institute of
Geography (http://www.geographie.uni-bremen.de/en/climate-geography). In
our work we investigate climate-glacier interactions and the impact of
glacier change on seasonal water availability and sea-level rise. Our
main tool is the Open Global Glacier Model (http://oggm.org).
We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed researcher who will
work on the seasonal contribution of glaciers to run-off in large,
glaciated river basins. Particular emphasis will be given to the
transient meltwater contribution arising from the ongoing glacier mass
loss, combining reconstructions and projections on a centennial time
scale. Additionally, you will be expected to contribute to teaching at
the undergraduate and/or graduate level within physical geography for
two hours per week during the semester.
To apply successfully, you will:
• have a MSc in geosciences, geography, environmental sciences, climate
physics, hydrology or related fields, or a MSc in physics or mathematics
with a background in Earth sciences;
• have experience with numerical modeling of the Earth system
(preferably in glaciology or hydrology);
• be fluent in English (equivalent to CEFR level C1) and have excellent
skills in scientific writing;
• enjoy working in an international and interdisciplinary team.
Proficiency in German is not necessary, but may be helpful for everyday
life in Bremen and will increase the choice of courses you may teach.
The University of Bremen is an equal opportunity employer and aims
particularly at increasing the share of female scientists employed in
research and teaching. Thus, qualified women are especially encouraged
to apply. International applications and those from candidates with a
migration background are explicitly appreciated. Candidates with
disabilities will be given preference in case of equal qualifications.
Questions regarding the position should be addressed to Ben Marzeion
