Professorship in computational Earth surface processes (Aarhus University, Department of Geoscience)

Professorship in computational Earth surface processes The Department of Geoscience, Aarhus University, invites applications for a Professor position within the field of computational Earth surface processes. Understanding the processes driving long-term landscape evolution and associated sea level variations presents a global challenge. Addressing this topic requires a multidisciplinary approach involving methods from most science disciplines. We seek an experienced scientist who can lead the growth of this interdisciplinary field. The ideal appointee has a broad geoscience background with groundbreaking achievements within computational modelling of landscape evolution caused by, for example, glacial and fluvial erosion and transport processes. An excellent record of academic achievements is expected, as well as an excellent record of attracting external funding from national and/or international funding agencies. The appointee will teach courses at all levels in relevant geoscience disciplines as required by the general educational profile of the Department. Student supervision and teaching experience is a prerequisite, and a teaching portfolio must be submitted with the application.
