PhD Student Position in Hydrogeophysics
The Institute of Geophysics at the University of Lausanne has an opening for a doctoral student in the field of hydrogeophysics. The selected student will develop techniques for the integration and up-scaling of geophysical and hydrological data to characterize aquifers at the local to regional scale and apply these strategies to a polluted, and correspondingly well-studied, sub-watershed-scale aquifer. The position is funded for three years and will start in early 2010. At the time of appointment, the successful candidate must have the equivalent of an MSc degree in geophysics or a closely related field. We are looking for a highly motivated, mature individual with strong analytical and methodological skills. A basic knowledge of French is an advantage, but not a requirement. This is a unique opportunity for a young researcher to launch his or her career by joining a leading research team. Our institute is well equipped, evolving dynamically, and scenically located on the shores of Lake Geneva, a region of outstanding natural beauty that offers a vibrant cosmopolitan atmosphere and a very high quality of life.
To apply, please send a cover letter clarifying your overall motivation for entering a PhD program together with your curriculum vitae and the names, telephone numbers, and e mail addresses of two referees to Professor Klaus Holliger, Institute of Geophysics, Amphipole Building, University of Lausanne, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland, klaus.holliger@unil.ch. The deadline for submission of applications is November 30, 2009.
The University of Lausanne is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
