Researcher in Engineering Geology - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Subject description
Research focussing on investigating field and laboratory time-domain (TD) and
frequency-domain (FD) spectral induced polarisation (SIP) data as a base for
estimating hydraulic properties and the monitoring of soil contamination processes
for environmental and engineering applications.

Work duties
The main duty is to conduct research in field and laboratory environments with the
induced polarisation (IP) method. That includes:

· Research within the subject area
· Conduct field investigations at hydrogeological test sites in Sweden and
abroad with TD and FD SIP, together with cooperation partners
· Design and perform laboratory SIP measurements in a microbiology
laboratory to investigate the influence of bacteria on sand filter samples
· Data processing, analysis, inversion and interpretation of the acquired
laboratory and field data
· Adapting and testing algorithms for estimating hydraulic properties from
the SIP field results. Evaluation against laboratory and field hydraulic
testing data
· Presenting results at conferences and in peer-review papers
· Raising research third party funds
· Supervision of degree projects and doctoral students
· Collaboration with industry and wider society
· Administration related to the work duties listed above

Qualification requirements
Applicants must have:
· A PhD or equivalent research qualification within the subject of the
position.
· Post-doctoral research experience within the subject of the position.
· Education on and work experience of applied geophysical methods in
general.
· Documented long experience under laboratory and field conditions of the
IP method in both time-domain and frequency-domain.
· Good knowledge and skills in the work with bacteria in a microbiology
laboratory environment.
· Proven ability to organise, conduct and manage field experiments, also
abroad.
· Very good oral and written proficiency in English.
· Basic oral and written knowledge in Swedish.
· Very good communication and organisational skills.

Assessment criteria and other qualifications
· Documented ability to present and publish results at national and
international conferences and in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
· Successfully proven ability to seek and receive research funding.
Consideration will also be given to good collaborative skills, drive and
independence, and how the applicant’s experience and skills complement and
strengthen ongoing research within the department, and how they stand to
contribute to its future development.

Terms of employment
This is a 80%, fixed-term employment of a maximum of fifteen months, starting on
January 2, 2021.
