The Department 5 “Earth Surface Processes”, Section 5.4 “Hydrology”, invites applications for a
Post-Doc Position (m/f).
with the focus on hydro-gravimetry.
Changes of the water cycle from local to global scales are subject of research in Section 5.4. In the field of hydro-gravimetry, ground- and satellite-based gravimetric techniques are applied to assess variations in continental water storage. The application of (super-conducting) gravimeters as an innovative hydrological tool is developed in ongoing and future research activities in close co-operation with Department 1 (Geodesy and Remote Sensing).
Tasks:
- Development of (super-conducting) gravimeters as hydrological monitoring devices
- Signal processing and signal separation for time-variable gravity data time series (satellite- and ground-based gravimetry)
- Analysis of water storage variations based on gravimetric and complementary data and hydro-geophysical modelling
- Design and analysis of hydro-gravimetric monitoring networks
- Strong support in the writing of proposals in order to gain third party funding
- Co-supervision of PhD students
- Presentation and publication of scientific results
Qualifications:
- PhD in the field of hydrology, geodesy, geophysics, environmental sciences or similar disciplines
- Experimental background and experience with field hydrology and/or gravimetric techniques (GRACE, gravimeter)
- Experience with local and/or global hydrological modelling
- Willingness to work in the field
- Programming skills (e.g., R, IDL or Matlab)
- Good publication record
- Motivation to work in a multi-disciplinary team
- Good command of English language, German is an asset
