Akademische*r Rat*Rätin (m/f/d) full-time job unlimited salary grade (Besoldungsgruppe) A13 reference code: Hydro-AR
Bewerbungsende: 26.05.2025
In many regions of the world, groundwater is the quantitatively most important, qualitatively best and safest drinking water resource, and therefore one of the most important georesources in the human-environment system. In the course of climate change and the increasing scarcity of water resources, the importance of groundwater will continue to increase. At the same time, the quality of groundwater is under threat, for example from agriculture, which causes large-scale nitrate and pesticide pollution and can lead to microbial contamination. Pathogenic microorganisms and other pollutants, such as pharmaceuticals, can also enter the groundwater through human wastewater. The hydrogeology working group's current research focuses on aspects of groundwater quality and pollutant fate, transport of dissolved and particulate substances, groundwater ecology and microbial dynamics as well as quantitative hydrogeology.
Job description:
The Akademische*r Rat*Rätin will occupy an important position within the Hydrogeology working group and will be responsible for the following teaching and research tasks:
