Prof. Dr. NataÅ¡a Ravbar). Our research focuses on groundwater quality and pollutant fate, transport of dissolved and particulate substances, groundwater ecology and microbial dynamics as well as quantitative hydrogeology. Job description: Your activities include research on methods for developing early-warning systems for groundwater contamination in karst areas. The main goal is to achieve a better understanding of the transport processes governing the spatial and temporal dynamics of fecal bacteria and proxies for microbial contamination in karst aquifer systems, as a basis for the better management and protection of these valuable but vulnerable freshwater resources. Focus will be on the application of in-situ flow cytometry which allows fast analyses of the total and intact cell count, to distinguish between viable and dead cells and cells with a low and high nucleic acid content. Proxies for microbial contamination are selected hydrochemical parameters and the particle size distribution. The potential study area includes the MalenÅ¡Äica karst spring, which is a regionally important source of drinking water in southwestern Slovenia. The catchment area is considered a typical example of the formation and development of karst landscapes characterised by numerous karst poljes and great temporal variability, forming intermittent lakes, sinking rivers and caves. The area has been a pioneer for speleological and karstological research, is well explored and provides a large amount of historical and current data. The possibility of pursuing a doctorate is given. In addition to your research work, you will also contribute to teaching and support The possibility of pursuing a doctorate is given. In addition to your research work, you will also contribute to teaching and support Bachelor and Master students (2 SWS per semester). Requirements: University degree (MSc) in the field of hydrogeology or equivalent (e.g. geoecology, engineering biology, environmental sciences, water sciences). Desirable: - good background in hydrogeology with experiences in geological field work, hydrochemical and microbiological analytics - good analytical and problem-solving skills, good communications skills and the ability to work independently as part of a team - ability to collaborate with partners from other institutions and to do hydrogeological field work in other countries - very good written and spoken English - valid driver’s license with acceptable driving history ---------------------------------------------------------------- Von: Freie Universität Berlin [log in to unmask] Fachbereich Geowissenschaô€€en - Institut für Geologische Wissenschaften, AG Hydrogeologie Berlin Ansprechpartner: Prof. Nadine Göppert, [log in to unmask] ---------------------------------------------------------------- ********************************************************************** Sie erhalten diese Mail, da sie als &*TOFIELD in der Liste SCIENCE-JOBS-DE eingetragen sind.
