to start at the earliest possible date.

The future professor will be responsible for the subject area Hydrogeology and Aquatic Geochemistry in full width in both research and teaching.

In research, the future professorship holder has the task of further developing the research field of hydrogeology and aquatic geochemistry in an internationally visible manner. Methodological focal points are the hydrogeological and geochemical characterization and experimental and numerical modeling of the subsurface, whereby in addition to the classical methods also quantitative methods for data analysis are requested. Preferred topics are groundwater quality and groundwater quantity in urban and rural areas as well as coastal zones, accounting for the changing climate and the anthropogenic use of the geological subsurface. For this, innovative concepts and well-known methods from the laboratory to the field scale should be employed.

An interdisciplinary link with the main research areas of the CAU Kiel (Forschungsschwerpunkte der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel: Priority research areas (uni-kiel.de)) is desirable.

The ability to teach in German and English is expected after 2 - 3 years at the latest. Relevant teaching experience is expected. The focus should be on teaching basic hydrogeological and geochemical concepts and models as well as topics of hydrogeological and geochemical as well as quantitative methods for data analysis and mapping of the subsurface.

Requirements for employment are a university degree and doctorate in geosciences or a related subject, preferably with a focus on hydrogeology and aquatic geochemistry. Experience in raising third-party funds is expected.

Please refer to the recruitment requirements of § 61 of the Higher Education Act of the State of Schleswig-Holstein.

After successful evaluation and if the additional requirements of § 62a of the Higher Education Act of the State of Schleswig-Holstein are met, the aim is to grant tenure in the professorship.
