Postdoc in Experimental Environmental System Analysis (Tuebingen, Germany)

The Center for Applied Geosciences (ZAG) invites applications for the following position:

*Postdoc in Experimental Environmental System Analysis*

which can be filled in immediately. Employment is for up to 3 years (see details below). Extension to 6 years in total is possible. The salary is according to the civil service pay TV-L E13 (100%).

You are currently finishing your doctoral thesis or would like to join a new and dynamic research group during your postdoctoral time? You would like to realize your own ideas within an interdisciplinary team? You are highly motivated to contribute to solutions for pressing environmental challenges? Then this is your unique opportunity!

We are looking for an innovative scientist to actively contribute to the interdisciplinary research program of the work group «Environmental System Analysis», with special emphasize on the combined chemical and biological impacts of human activities in the (aquatic) environment (e.g. pollution, land-use change). The specific area of expertise is open, but should be integrated into and complement with the current research activities of the work group (www.geo.uni-tuebingen.de/ en/work-groups/applied-geosciences/institut/umweltsystemanalyse/arbeitsgruppe.html). Expertise in experimental laboratory and/or field research is especially welcome.

The ZAG enjoys an internationally excellent reputation in applied environmental research. Close collaborations with other large research institutions in Germany, like the Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries and the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, as well as with international partners, exist.

Minimum requirements for filling the position are a doctoral degree and a distinguished record in research. Educational skills are desired since the successful candidate is expected to teach courses in the B.Sc. and M.Sc. programmes of the Department of Geosciences at the Universitaet Tuebingen. Acquisition of third-party funds and (co-)supervision of doctoral students will be welcome.

The Universitaet Tuebingen is an equal opportunity employer and specifically welcomes applications from female scientists. Preference will be given to applicants with disabilities when qualifications are equivalent.

Please complement your application (cover letter, full CV including list of publications and teaching experience, copies of certificates) with your proposed research program (not more than two pages), preferably indicating linkages to other research groups of the ZAG, and including the required timeline at the Universitaet Tuebingen (2 to 3 years). Please submit your documents as a single pdf-file to Prof. Dr. Christiane Zarfl (christiane.zarfl@uni-tuebingen.de) until *November 15, 2014*. The applicant should also arrange for two reference letters to be sent to the above mentioned email address.
