Postdoctoral Position, Environmental Geophysics
Field: Environmental Geophysics
Contract: 1 year (with possible extension)
Period: fall 2020 – fall 2021
Work time: Full time
Job description
The Géoressources et Environnement (Bordeaux INP, Bordeaux, France) research team, in collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (California, USA), is seeking applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow to develop and implement geophysical approaches to characterize soil-plant interactions that govern grapevine variability at a world-class Château in Pauillac, near Bordeaux. In particular, the position focuses on the integration of geoelectrical methods with soil sample and remote sensing datasets to investigate the influence of soil copper content, texture, moisture and landscape properties on wine grape characteristics.
The position requires an outstanding record of original and high-quality research and demonstrated experience. Essential for the position is a Ph.D. in geophysics, earth sciences, environmental sciences, engineering or related degrees. The incumbent must demonstrate experience in environmental geophysics, including geoelectrical field data acquisition, inversion, integration and interpretation. Desired is a solid foundation in soil physics, statistics, and geospatial constructs. The incumbent is expected to be motivated, well-organized, and able to perform independent research leading to high-quality presentations and publications. Furthermore, a clear communication in English or French is required.
The Postdoc Fellow will have the opportunity to interact with viticulturalists at the Château, and must have ability to commute between the Château and Talence to perform laboratory and numerical analysis of acquired samples/data at the University.
A cover letter describing interest in and experience relative to the position, as well as a CV, is requested by 08/30/2020. The documents will be sent to:
