The Department of Hydrology at the University of Bayreuth offers two PhD Position for three years within the framework of the DFG Research Unit 580 "Electron Transfer Processes in Anoxic Aquifers". The position is open beginning this summer/autumn.
The dissertation projects focus on the reactivity of iron hydroxides in sulfidic ground waters, their role in the anaerobic sulphur cycle, and the linkage between the involved biogeochemical processes. The work comprises experiments in the laboratory and in the field. Further information about the objectives of the two dissertation projects (SP KNO and SP PEI) and Research Unit 580 can be found at http://www.bayceer.uni-bayreuth.de/fg_ct/.
We are seeking candidates with a background in environmental sciences or geosciences with experience in the field of experimental aquatic geochemistry and mineralogy either in the laboratory or in the field. The candidate should have an interest in teamwork within an interdisciplinary group of researchers that focuses on the identification of biogeochemical processes in ground water. Experience in the use of spectroscopic tools, microscopy, stable isotopes, or modelling of reactive transport is of advantage. Prerequisite for the position is an excellent diploma/master degree.
Applications should include a CV, transcripts/certificates, names of referees and a statement of the candidate´s motivation for the application. They should be sent to Dr. Klaus-Holger Knorr or Prof. Dr. Stefan Peiffer, Department of Hydrology, University of Bayreuth, D-95440 Bayreuth.
The position remains open until filled.
