Two Ph.D. positions in Hydrogeophysics

The Applied and Environmental Geophysics Group of ETH Zurich anticipates openings for two Ph.D. positions in hydrogeophysics to be carried out within a multidisciplinary river restoration project in the vicinity of Zurich. One of the positions will be dedicated to fully coupled hydrogeophysical inversion using time-lapse crosshole electrical resistance tomography, whereas the other will focus on developing three-dimensional hydrological models from inversions of surface-based geophysical and hydrological data.

The successful candidates should hold a Diploma or Masters degree in geophysics, physics, environmental engineering or computational hydrology, and should have a keen interest and preferably some experience in geophysical and/or hydrological forward modeling and inversion. The candidates must be willing and able to perform extensive field work. We are a dynamic international research group working on a wide variety of high profile topics in applied and computational geophysics. The working languages in our group are English and German.

Specific questions regarding the PhD projects can be directed to Dr. Laurent Marescot (email: laurent@aug.ig.erdw.ethz.ch) and Dr. Niklas Linde (email: linde@aug.ig.erdw.ethz.ch).

Interested candidates should send their Curriculum Vitae and the names and addresses of three referees by February 15, 2007 to:

Dr. Laurent Marescot and/or Dr. Niklas Linde
Institute of Geophysics
ETH-Hoenggerberg
CH-8093 Zurich, Switzerland
