The position is placed at the Department of Earth Sciences and is directed towards Geoinformatics including GIS, remote sensing and environmental modelling.
The Department of Earth Sciences has four subject areas including Geography/Physical Geography,
Oceanography, Geology, and Marine Geology. Recently, a strategic program for the Department has been established, which proposes a further strengthening of climate research including regional climate change and its impact on society.
This appointment is linked to the recently appointed August Röhss Professorship and will be an important step in the realization of the strategic program. The emphasis on Geoinformatics will contribute to the desired integration of various research groups in the Department, and will increase collaboration with other institutions within and outside the University. We welcome applicants with a strong background and extensive experiences in application of Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing in Earth Sciences, especially in climatic and/or hydrological studies. It is expected that the successful candidate is experienced with programming GIS applications in a GIS environment, working with relational databases, web applications, and different data formats (e.g. NetCDF, GRIB), statistical tools (e.g. R, SAS, S-Plus) and programming in UNIX based systems (e.g. FORTRAN, C, Perl, IDL, MATLAB).
