Professorship in near-surface geoscience
Department of GEoscience, Aarhus University
Department of Geoscience, Aarhus University
The Department of Geoscience currently employs around 70 staff including faculty, externally funded researchers, post-docs, PhD students, as well as administrative and technical personnel. We have a strong research profile spanning a broad range of geological and geophysical disciplines, including basic and applied aspects of the Earth surface systems (hydrogeology, hydrogeophysics, Quaternary studies, palaeoceanography, palaeoclimate, sedimentology, stratigraphy, geochronology, organic petrology, seismic acquisition, processing and interpretation) as well as the deep interior of the Earth (petrology, geochemistry, geophysics, structural geology, basin modelling). The Department is well equipped for the relevant research and teaching with infrastructure comprising sedimentological, micropalaeontological and geochemical laboratories with state-of-the-art instruments, including a pool of seismic acquisition equipment (both onshore and offshore). The Department has strong links to other departments at Aarhus University including Physics and Astronomy (including radiocarbon dating facility), Biology, Chemistry, and Archaeology, as well as the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, and other Danish Universities.
The beautiful Aarhus University campus is located close to the downtown of Aarhus, the second largest city in Denmark with about 400 000 inhabitants. Aarhus has a lively and charming downtown close to the Aarhus Bay at the Baltic Sea. In Denmark access to schools, higher education, and health care is free.
