Sulawesi/Indonesia using stable water isotope
The position will be limited for 3 years and should be filled as soon as
possible. Salary: Pay grade 65 % TVL 13 of German state regulated public
service salary scale.
Your duties
The project aims to quantify the isotopic signature of water vapor
exchange of a montane rainforest, to determine the origin and recycling
of atmospheric water using stable water isotopes, and to characterize
plant water isotope composition. Tasks include testing and installation
of a laser spectrometer for water isotope measurements and
meteorological instruments , organization and carrying out field
measurements in Sulawesi/Indonesia, supervision of local assistants,
analysis and interpretation of data, presentation of results nationally
and internationally, publishing in peer-reviewed journals.
Your profile
? M.Sc. degree in meteorology, environmental sciences, geo-ecology,
biology, physics, geography, etc.
? Experience with data analysis in R or Matlab is a plus
? Willingness to collaborate with Indonesian and German Partners
? Ability and willingness to do extended fieldwork in the tropics
? Proficiency (Fluency) in English; German a plus.
The project will be based in G?ttingen, but fieldwork is done in Central
Sulawesi/Indonesia. Longer stays (up to 10 months) at the field site are
expected. Close research collaboration with the University of Tadulako
in Palu/Sulawesi and the necessary research infrastructure already exist.
The University of G?ttingen is an equal opportunities employer and
places particular emphasis on fostering career opportunities for women.
Qualified women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply as they are
underrepresented in this field. Disabled persons with equivalent
aptitude will be favoured.

the usual documents by December 24, 2013 to
<bioklima-job@uni-gottingen.de>. If you have any questions, please
contact Prof. Knohl (phone: +49 551 39-33682, e-mail:
<bioklima-job@uni-gottingen.de>). Information about the bioclimatology
group can be found at <http://www.uni-goettingen.de/bioclimatology>.
We request that you send your application documents as single pdf file.
We will dispose the documents after a holding period of five months.

Science, ETH Zurich, Switzerland.
-> The program: the 1.5-year program in Atmospheric and Climate Science
aims to educate outstanding young scientists for careers in academia,
public administration and the private sector. Students gain in-depth
understanding of climate processes and their interactions ? ranging from
the molecular to the global scale and from short-lived phenomena to
changes over millions of years. The program offers quantitative
knowledge on atmospheric dynamics, climate processes and feedbacks,
biogeochemical cycles, paleoclimatology and in-depth training in
numerical modelling of weather and climate. More information can be
found at <www.iac.ethz.ch/edu/prospective/>.
-> The institutes: the program is offered by world-leading institutes in
the field of atmospheric physics, chemistry and dynamics, and global and
regional climate change (e.g. <www.iac.ethz.ch/>, <www.clidyn.ethz.ch/>,
<www.up.ethz.ch/> or <www.climategeology.ethz.ch/>). During the second
half of the program students are directly involved in the research
groups and receive individual supervision and training.
