About this position

This postdoc project at the University of Copenhagen focuses on how sea-level rise and coastal squeeze are reshaping tidal flats in the Danish Wadden Sea. The researcher will study tidal flat evolution, sediment characteristics, and the factors controlling sediment dynamics in coastal wetlands as part of the multidisciplinary WadProof project.

The project examines recent and historical changes in tidal flat development and texture, the effects of dikes, and the drivers of sediment characteristics across the intertidal zone. The work combines field-based sediment collection with analysis of surface sediment and core data, together with hydro- and sediment-dynamic measurements. A further part of the research will test remote sensing approaches, including unmanned aerial vehicles and orthophoto data, to map intertidal marine sediment type distributions.

The postdoc will be embedded in the research group Geomorphology, processes and landscapes in the Section for Geography, within the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management, Faculty of SCIENCE. The group studies the processes shaping coastal, estuarine, marine, fluvial and glacial landscapes across scales from grains to landscapes and from seconds to millennia, using quantitative methods and a strong empirical focus.

The project includes collaboration with researchers from Aarhus University and the coastal department of the Danish Environmental Agency. The role combines research with teaching and may include other duties, offering a research environment centred on coastal geomorphology, sediment dynamics, and landscape-scale analysis.

Funding details

20-month postdoc position funded by the Aage V. Jensen Charity Foundation; salary follows the Danish state academic agreement and a salary supplement may be negotiated.

What's required

Applicants must have a PhD degree and be qualified in physical geography, marine geology or other geosciences. Interest in estuarine and coastal geomorphology is required, along with good spoken and written English communication skills. Experience with collection and analysis of empirical data, including processing satellite and UAV data, is considered an advantage. The application must include a cover letter with a motivation statement and brief research contribution outline, a CV with publication list, conference presentations and teaching experience, diplomas for Master’s and PhD degrees, and up to five selected articles; if the PhD is not yet awarded, the expected submission and/or defence date should be specified in the CV.

How to apply

Apply electronically via the APPLY NOW link. Submit the application in English with a cover letter, CV, diplomas, and up to five selected articles marked with an asterisk on the publication list. Ensure the application is submitted by 29 November 2026 at 23:59 GMT+1.
