Researcher Position in Climate-Tectonics Interactions

We are seeking a highly motivated researcher to join our team at the Helmholtz Centre Potsdam. The successful candidate will contribute to the EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network "Climate-Tectonics Interactions using Big Data informed Models" (INITIATE).

Key Responsibilities:

  • Gather and compile data on the distribution of sedimentary units and integrate those via potential field modelling and gravity data to build a model of the crust-mantle boundary.
  • Use existing tomography to map heterogeneities in the temperature and density distributions in the lithospheric mantle.
  • Front-end the derived model against physics-driven simulations to constrain the thermomechanical state of the Corinth Rift.
  • Use the results to design forward numerical experiments to test working hypothesis on controlling factors on localization of deformation.
  • Interpretation and publication of results in peer-reviewed journals.

Requirements:

  • Master degree or diploma in Physics, Mathematics or Geosciences is mandatory.
  • Knowledge of thermal-hydraulic-mechanical physical processes.
  • Knowledge of geophysics and deformation mechanisms.
  • Knowledge in 3D structural modeling and numerical methods.
  • Programming skills are an advantage.
  • Good English language skills.

Eligibility:

  • Researchers recruited in a Doctoral Network must be Early Stage Researchers and not have been awarded a doctoral degree.
  • At the time of recruitment researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity in the country of their host organization for more than 12 months in the 3 years prior to the reference date (EU mobility rule).

What We Offer:

  • Ambitious and varied tasks in a dynamic and international research environment.
  • State-of-the-art equipment.
  • Public service benefits.
  • Extensive training opportunities.
  • Professional career advice offered by our in-house Career-Centre.
  • Flexible working hours and conditions.
  • Support with finding a good work-life balance offered by our Institute day-care centre on site.
  • Working at the Albert Einstein science park on the Telegrafenberg in Potsdam.
  • Work place within walking distance of Potsdam main train station, or just a short ride on the shuttle bus.

Salary:

  • 3342 €/month gross living allowance.
  • 600 €/month gross mobility allowance.
  • When applicable, a family allowance may also be provided in the amount of 660 €/month.
  • Other possible allowances include long-term leave and special needs.

How to Apply:

Please use our online application form only. Requirements on the application: cover letter on research interests plus motivation, mobility declaration including documentation, names and contact information of two referees, CV, transcripts and diplomas on master degree, approved documentation of proficiency in English, scientific publication list (if applicable).
