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 characteristic...

About this position

The University of Vienna is recruiting a postdoctoral University Assistant for the Department of Geology within the Faculty of Earth Sciences, Geography and Astronomy. The position focuses on the Late Paleozoic Glacial Period in southern Africa and combines paleoglaciology, geomorphology, field geology, GIS, photogrammetry and quantitative analysis.

The researcher will investigate glacial landscapes and geological datasets through paleoglaciological field studies, photogrammetry, digital mapping and statistical analysis. A central project component is the creation of an open-source digital archive and database for the Late Paleozoic glacial period, integrating existing and newly acquired geological data into reproducible computer-aided workflows.

The role includes participation in and planning of fieldwork, typically for up to six weeks per year, including work in southern Africa. The postdoctoral researcher will also contribute to grant proposals, co-supervise bachelor’s and master’s students, prepare and teach courses, and support the activities and direction of the Geology subject area.

The Department of Geology is recognised for research in sedimentology, stratigraphy and structural geology. With more than 30 faculty and staff members and over 300 students, it provides an international research and teaching environment supported by the wider Faculty of Earth Sciences, Geography and Astronomy.

Funding details

This is a four-year, 20-hour-per-week, fixed-term postdoctoral employment contract, extendable to six years by mutual agreement. The stated base salary is EUR 5,079.50 based on full-time employment of 40 hours per week, with increases possible based on professional experience.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. or doctoral degree in Earth Sciences or a closely related field by the employment start date. Required experience includes GIS, including QGIS or ArcGIS; photogrammetry and structure-from-motion methods for high-resolution 3D models and orthomosaics; processing and analysis of imagery from drone, ground-based, aerial and remote-sensing surveys; quantitative and statistical analysis of paleoglaciological datasets; planning and conducting fieldwork, including logistics, equipment, permits and data management; and paleoglaciological and geomorphological field investigations involving mapping, UAV surveys, sedimentological and geomorphological observations, and sampling. Applicants must be willing and able to conduct fieldwork in southern Africa, typically for up to six weeks per year, be fluent in English, and have an outstanding publication record commensurate with academic seniority.

How to apply
