The successful candidate will be expected to teach Endogenic Geology and Petrology/Deformation of Metamorphic Rocks at the Bachelor and Masters level, in addition to the supervision of doctoral candidates. 2. Geological Earth Surface Processes (6 years/tenure track) The Candidate’s research program should complement and add to the research profile of our department (see <http://www.geo.uni-muenchen.de/depearthenv/index.html> http://www.geo.uni-muenchen.de/depearthenv/index.html). A good foundation in exogenic geological processes (e.g. Sedimentology or Sedimentary Basin Dynamics) is a prerequisite. The successful candidate will be expected to teach Exogenic Geology and Sedimentology at the Bachelor and Masters level, in addition to the supervision of doctoral candidates. Additional information that applies for both available positions: * Willingness and ability to obtain research funding, to participate in field training and to cooperate in the administrative self-government of the University are required. * The candidate should provide a CV and copies of 3 publications.
