The HydroGeophysics Group (HGG) at Department of Geoscience, Aarhus University, seeks a Post Doc to support HGG research projects in 3D modelling of transient electromagnetic (TEM) data. The candidate will contribute to the further development of our 3D finite element forward and inversion code for ground- and airborne TEM. The candidate will be part of a group of scientists, engineers, and software developers who develop methods, instruments, and software to apply to the research performed in the group worldwide. The position is initially for two years due to funding.
Job assignments
Presently, several projects within modelling and inversion of TEM data in 1D, 2D and 3D are ongoing at HGG.
These projects focus on development of new and efficient numerical schemes and application of the algorithms for inversion of ground and airborne field data.
The successful applicant will be required to contribute to on-going algorithm development and will be expected to help guide the overall design of the algorithms. We work with finite elements with hexahedral and tetrahedral element shapes. A large focus is on the numerical optimization, using a combination of OpenMP and MPI. The applicant will also be expected to participate in data acquisition, processing, and inversion of TEM data collected within HGG projects.
The candidate will co-supervise PhD students, master students and bachelor students and will also be expected to contribute to undergraduate/graduate courses taught by members of HGG.
Qualifications
The successful applicant will have a PhD in geophysics or physics and should have significant experience within the fields of: TEM, numerical modelling, finite elements, OpenMP and MPI. He/she must have excellent mathematical skills. Experience in programming in Fortran and Matlab is mandatory. Teaching and tutoring experience is mandatory (previous experience supervising master students and PhD students is a benefit).
The candidate is expected to have written several scientific papers and have good experience in presenting scientific results at conferences and meetings. The candidate must be fluent in English both written and oral.

Place of work
The place of work is C.F. Møllers Alle 4, 8000 Aarhus C, Department of Geoscience, Aarhus University. The beautiful Aarhus University campus is located close to downtown Aarhus, the second largest city in Denmark with 400 000 inhabitants. It has a lively and charming downtown close to Aarhus Bay. In Denmark, schools, higher education, and health care are free.
Application deadline
All applications must be made online and received by September 13, 2020. The application must be submitted via Aarhus University’s recruitment system, which can be accessed under the job advertisement on Aarhus University’s website.
Application procedure
Shortlisting is used. This means that after the deadline for applications – and with the assistance from the assessment committee chairman, and the appointment committee if necessary, – the head of department selects the candidates to be evaluated. All applicants will be notified whether or not their applications have been sent to an expert assessment committee for evaluation. The selected applicants will be informed about the composition of the committee, and each applicant is given the opportunity to comment on the part of the assessment that concerns him/her self. Once the recruitment process is completed a final letter of rejection is sent to the deselected applicants.
Letter of reference
If you want a referee to upload a letter of reference on your behalf, please state the referee’s contact information when you submit your application. We strongly recommend that you make an agreement with the person in question before you enter the referee’s contact information, and that you ensure that the referee has enough time to write the letter of reference before the application deadline. Unfortunately, it is not possible to ensure that letters of reference received after the application deadline will be taken into consideration.
Formalities and salary range
Natural Sciences refers to the Ministerial Order on the Appointment of Academic Staff at Danish Universities under the Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation.
The application must be in English and include a curriculum vitae, degree certificate, a complete list of publications, a statement of future research plans and information about research activities, teaching portfolio and verified information on previous teaching experience (if any). Guidelines for applicants can be found here.
Appointment shall be in accordance with the collective labour agreement between the Danish Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. Further information on qualification requirements and job content may be found in the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff at Danish Universities.
Salary depends on seniority as agreed between the Danish Ministry of Finance and the Confederation of Professional Associations.
All interested candidates are encouraged to apply, regardless of their personal background. Research activities will be evaluated in relation to actual research time. Thus, we encourage applicants to specify periods of leave without research activities, in order to be able to subtract these periods from the span of the scientific career during the evaluation of scientific productivity.
