We welcome students and interns with an interest in the Earth and Environmental Sciences and geotechnical engineering. The research areas in our section include geomorphology, environmental seismology, geochemistry, and natural hazards. Your activities could include:
- work in our labs, focusing on biochemistry, sediment and water analysis, or physical processes,
- the analysis of seismic, geochemical or remotely sensed data, or
- the design and construction of scientific equipment in our electronics and construction laboratories.
In the past, we have hosted students and interns for periods ranging from two weeks to six months. Limited financial support may be available, depending on topic, background and length of the internship. If you are interested in a thesis or an internship with us, please contact geomorphology-students@gfz-potsdam.de. To find a good match, it would be helpful if you include a short description of your background, your interests, including specific research groups or projects with which you would like to be involved, and possibly a CV. Before you contact us, our current research themes can support you in identifing your interests.
