PhD-position: Surface waves and methane in lakes
The Environmental Physics Group at the Limnological Institut, University of Konstanz, Germany, offers a PhD-position within the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 454, Subproject D6: ‚Surface waves and their ecological consequences’. The position will start at 1. January 2009. Salary will be according to TV-L13 (50%).
We are looking for a highly motivated student with a background in environmental sciences/engineering, oceanography, physics, mathematics, or biology.
The research project includes practical field work on Lake Constance as well as theoretical modeling within the framework of the following objectives:
• Release and distribution of methane, nutrients and other tracers in Lake Constance
• Modeling of the surface wave field and the resuspension of particles in Lake Constance
• Modeling the temporal and spatial distribution of particles and tracers
The research focus of the PhD thesis will depend on the personal interests and skills of the candidate.
The application should include:
• A brief statement of research interests/experiences, goals, personal motivation and potential start date
• Curriculum Vitae
• Transcripts
• Contact details of referees
