CAMPOS seeks 15 Doctoral Researchers (3 years, 75% TV-L E13) and 3 Postdoctoral Researchers (up to 4 years, 100% TV-L E13/14)

CAMPOS - Catchments as Reactors: Metabolism of Pollutants on the Landscape Scale


CAMPOS is a new Collaborative Research Center (CRC) for long-term multidisciplinary research in the field of pollutant turnover on the catchment scale starting in January 2017. It aims at identifying reactive zones and landscape elements controlling storage, biogeochemical transformation, or elimination of pollutants, at identifying the respective processes and their dynamics, as well as at developing a new modeling framework to simulate and predict reactive transport and pollutant behavior on the landscape scale.


CAMPOS seeks for 15 Doctoral Researchers (3 years, 75% TV-L E13) and 3 Postdoctoral Researchers (up to 4 years, 100% TV-L E13/14) starting between January and July 2017 for the following eight collaborative projects:


1 - Assessing Pollutant Turnover in Rivers
PhD P1/1: Field and model based assessment of in-stream contaminant transformation
PhD P1/2: Chemical analysis & bioassays towards detection of environmental processes


2 - Pollutant Turnover in the Groundwater - Stream Transition Zone
PhD P2/1: Biogeochemical transformation in the groundwater-surface water transition zone
PhD P2/2: Transformation of organic micropollutants in sub-catchments

Please submit applications to <link mail window for sending>info@campos.uni-tuebingen.de (ONE pdf-file, max. 5MB). Applications should clearly indicate to which position they refer and include a letter of motivation, a CV, transcripts or degree certificates including grades, proof of special qualifications, prints of publications if applicable, and a list of at least two referees.
The participating institutions want to increase the number of female researchers and specifically encourage female candidates to apply. Special gender-equality measures will be emplaced within CAMPOS. Disabled persons will be preferred in case of equal qualification.
