Postdoctoral Researcher in Soil and Landscape Dynamics – Luminescence-Based Weathering Proxy Development University of Cologne in Germany

Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), through the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology (HIF) and its Department of Analytics, is offering a PhD position on Li, Sn, and W transport and enrichment in Variscan mineral systems . This project is aimed at investigating the structural setting of known magmatic and magmatic-hydrothermal Li, Sn, and W deposits in the Variscan Orogen, identifying structural controls on ore-forming processes, and studying petrological constraints on ...

The University of Cologne’s Institute of Geography is offering an interdisciplinary PhD project on the Rhine floodplain as a biogeochemically coupled system under stress. The project examines how altered hydrology shapes floodplain sediment dynamics and the wider ecosystem response, linking physical and geochemical processes with biodiversity, food webs, microbial activity, and greenhouse gas emissions. The doctoral researcher will contribute to a collaborative project with other PhD students an...

PhD opportunity in Geology and Geophysics at the University of Edinburgh , drawing on the expertise of the Earth and Planetary Sciences Research Institute (EPS) within the School of GeoSciences. The programme supports original research across geology , geophysics , geochemistry , and geodynamics , with strong links to GIS, climate modelling, satellite data analysis, fieldwork, laboratory studies, and numerical computation. Students work with a supervisory team and an academic adviser, and can ac...

This PhD position in Physics of the Earth is offered at the Geophysical Institute (GPI) of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the Black Forest Observatory (BFO) in Karlsruhe, Germany. The project focuses on understanding how atmospheric forces deform the Earth’s crust. The successful doctoral researcher will work across the full scientific workflow, from field deployment to modelling and application. A major part of the work is designing and operating a large-N barometer network, buildi...

PhD opening in terrestrial and cryo-hydrological gravimetry at the GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, Germany, within the Department of Geodesy, Section 1.2 Global Geomonitoring and Gravity Field. The project is part of the ERC Synergy Grant SnowShifts , focused on shifts in snow regimes in extreme environments and on improving understanding of snow volume, snow mass, and their dynamics in the Earth and climate system. The PhD researcher will work on high-resolution snow mass quant...
