The Center for Applied Geosciences (ZAG) invites applications for the following position:

Postdoc in Experimental Environmental System Analysis

which can be filled in immediately. Employment is for up to 3 years (see details below). Extension to
6 years in total is possible. The salary is according to the civil service pay TV-L E13 (100%).
You are currently finishing your doctoral thesis or would like to join a new and dynamic research
group during your postdoctoral time? You would like to realize your own ideas within an
interdisciplinary team? You are highly motivated to contribute to solutions for pressing environmental
challenges? Then this is your unique opportunity!

We are looking for an innovative scientist to actively contribute to the interdisciplinary research
program of the work group «Environmental System Analysis», with special emphasize on the
combined chemical and biological impacts of human activities in the (aquatic) environment (e.g.
pollution, land-use change). The specific area of expertise is open, but should be integrated into and
complement with the current research activities of the work group (www.geo.uni-tuebingen.de/
en/work-groups/applied-geosciences/institut/umweltsystemanalyse/arbeitsgruppe.html). Expertise
in experimental laboratory and/or field research is especially welcome.

The ZAG enjoys an internationally excellent reputation in applied environmental research. Close
collaborations with other large research institutions in Germany, like the Leibniz-Institute of
Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries and the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, as
well as with international partners, exist.

Minimum requirements for filling the position are a doctoral degree and a distinguished record in
research. Educational skills are desired since the successful candidate is expected to teach courses
in the B.Sc. and M.Sc. programmes of the Department of Geosciences at the Universität Tübingen.
Acquisition of third-party funds and (co-)supervision of doctoral students will be welcome.
The Universität Tübingen is an equal opportunity employer and specifically welcomes applications
from female scientists. Preference will be given to applicants with disabilities when qualifications are
equivalent.

Please complement your application (cover letter, full CV including list of publications and teaching
experience, copies of certificates) with your proposed research program (not more than two pages),
preferably indicating linkages to other research groups of the ZAG, and including the required
timeline at the Universität Tübingen (2 to 3 years). Please submit your documents as a single pdffile
to Prof. Dr. Christiane Zarfl (christiane.zarfl@uni-tuebingen.de) until November 15, 2014. The
applicant should also arrange for two reference letters to be sent to the above mentioned email
address.
