Vacancy: Senior Scientists, GFZ

GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences is seeking talented and ambitious individuals who have expertise in the development and use of computational methods and their applications to the study of Earth surface processes at a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, i.e. from the tectonic to the human scales. They are particularly interested in candidates with interest and/or experience in one of the following areas:   

the integration of large datasets into models, and in particular the use of innovative data assimilation techniques, i.e. artificial intelligence or deep learning techniques; a statistical approach to the parameterization of climatic, hydrological or seismic forcing of Earth surface processes; the study of the co-evolution of life and landform, including, for example, but not limited to the integration of phylogenomic constraints in models of landscape evolution.

Each senior scientist position will be supported by funding for a PhD student or a Post-doc as well as some basic operational funding. They will be expected to attract additional external funding.
