The Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) with its 1,100 employees has gained an excellent reputation as an international competence centre for environmental sciences. We are part of the largest scientific organisation in Germany, the Helmholtz association. Our mission: Our research seeks to find a balance between social development and the long-term protection of our natural resources.
The jobAt the Department of Hydrogeology at UFZ we seek a motivated PhD-candidate with strong skills in the numerical simulation of channel flows (CFD) and coupled groundwater-surface water systems to join a DFG-funded collaborative research center (CRC1357) on Microplastics. The research focuses on the simulation of transport and fate of microplastic (MP) in fluvial systems. The application should include a detailed CV (including names and addresses of two potential referees), a letter of motivation, copies of certificates, if applicable, pdf-copies of relevant published work.
Your tasksThe potential candidate should have a Master's degree in hydrology, hydraulics, civil or environmental engineering, geo- or environmental sciences (with a focus on water) and a strong background in numerical modeling (CFD, hydraulic models).
