This is a fixed-term contract. The term is fixed for a period of 36 months. The position calls for 65 % of standard work hours per week.

CLICCS is an ambitious research program at Universität Hamburg and its partner institutions. Funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), it is part of Germany’s Excellence Strategy. The program aims to understand climate changes, taking into account internal variability, extreme events, and unexpected side effects, addressing the natural and social spheres as well as their interactions. CLICCS will investigate how climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. It will identify those climate futures that are consistent with both climate and social dynamics (possible), and those we expect to unfold with appreciable probability (plausible).

The successful candidate should have a university degree in a relevant field (Geosciences, Biology, Chemistry) and willingness and ability to work on research vessels and in chemical laboratories.

The University aims to increase the number of women in research and teaching and explicitly encourages women to apply. Equally qualified female applicants will receive preference.

Qualified disabled candidates or applicants with equivalent status receive preference in the application process.

Applications should include a cover letter, a tabular curriculum vitae, and copies of degree certificate(s). Please send applications (1 PDF) by September 30,  2019 to birgit.gaye [at] uni-hamburg.de.
