About us
The working group Hydrogeology and Landscape Hydrology investigates hydraulic and hydrochemical processes in the aquatic environment, in particular the interaction between surface water and groundwater, coastal hydrogeology, the role of water in ecosystems as well as the behaviour of pollutants in groundwater.
The research unit DynaDeep "The Dynamic Deep Subsurface of High-Energy Beaches” is a collaborative project investigating the hydrodynamic and biogeochemical processes in subterranean estuaries, i.e. the connective zones between land and sea. In Phase 2, the role of reactive zones (‘hot spots’), events (‘hot moments’), and compounds (‘hot stuff’) for the overall turnover of the biogeochemical reactor will be addressed at our central field site on the island Spiekeroog in Germany. The transferability and generalizability of our findings will further be challenged by conducting research at additional beaches in Belgium and France and with different global model approaches. With this interdisciplinary strategy, DynaDeep will elucidate the global relevance of the dynamic deep subsurface of high-energy beaches for carbon, nutrient and trace element cycling.

Your tasks
The successful candidate will carry out hydrogeological investigations within DynaDeep 2 . The doctoral candidate will (i) continue the hydrogeological work at the Spiekeroog core site with focus on capturing extreme events, and (ii) participate in the work at the validation sites in Belgium and France. The hydrogeological investigations combine fieldwork (i.e. CTD loggers, tracer data, age dating, lysimeters) and numerical groundwater flow and transport modelling.
Your profile
Requirements:
- University degree (Master or Diploma) in earth or environmental sciences, water engineering, environmental modelling or an equivalent education with hydrogeological components
- Knowledge of (coastal) groundwater flow and transport processes
- Numerical groundwater modelling skills
- Knowledge on classical hydrogeological methods
- Ability to work independently
- Excellent English skills
- Excellent communication and organisational skills, intrinsic motivation and a strong interest in collaborative research
Desirable:
- Experience with density-dependent groundwater flow modelling
- Programming skills in scripting languages, preferably Python and/or Matlab
We offer
- Salary and social benefits in accordance with the regulations of the German salary agreement for public service employees (TV-L)
- An interesting position in an international and interdisciplinary research team
- An open, cooperative, family-friendly working atmosphere
- Opportunities for personal and professional development, e.g. within the graduate school OLTECH
Our standards
The University of Oldenburg is dedicated to increase the percentage of female employees in the field of science. Therefore, female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. In accordance to § 21 Section 3 NHG, female candidates with equal qualifications will be preferentially considered. Applicants with disabilities will be given preference in case of equal qualification.
Further information
We are seeking a motivated doctoral researcher within research unit DynaDeep "The Dynamic Deep Subsurface of High-Energy Beaches” (phase 2) at Faculty V, Institute for Biology and Environmental Sciences (IBU), Research Group Hydrogeology and Landscape Hydrology starting at the next possible date (earliest 10/2025).
Please note that the position is subject to the final favorable decision of the German research foundation (DFG) in early July.
