About this position
Leibniz University Hannover invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer in sedimentary geology and stratigraphy within the Institute of Earth System Sciences, Section Geology. The five-year role combines independent research with teaching and academic supervision in the Geosciences.
The successful candidate will conduct research in sedimentary geology and stratigraphy, manage individual research projects, and contribute to securing third-party funding. A major component of the position is the development and delivery of sedimentology teaching for MSc and BSc Geoscience degree programmes, including practical lectures. The postdoctoral researcher will also supervise student projects and undergraduate and graduate theses.
The role includes technical supervision of the laboratory for stable isotopes. This provides an opportunity to apply stable-isotope approaches to Earth Sciences questions while contributing to the institute’s existing expertise in sedimentary geology and stratigraphy. Sedimentary fieldwork and complementary research expertise are central to the position.
The post is based in the Institute of Earth System Sciences at Leibniz University Hannover, an interdisciplinary and international scientific environment in Hannover. The successful researcher will work across research, laboratory management, teaching, project development, and student mentoring.
The position is offered as full-time employment at 100% for five years, beginning 1 March 2027.
