4 months ago

Odense, Denmark Syddansk Universitet (SDU) Full time

Application deadline: 15 September 2024 at 23:59 hours local Danish time
The Department of Biology at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) in Odense invites applications for a position in the ecological research group starting in March 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter.

The group holds several research grants and advisory projects focusing on marine environments and transitional areas (catchment area studies). These projects include the evaluation of aquatic habitats, the planning of actions to improve water/habitat quality, and the actual restoration of key marine habitats. Most projects focus on nutrient cycling, effects of climate adaptation, and urban/diffuse discharge on the marine environment.

We seek a marine ecologist and aquatic ecosystem modeler with excellent scientific and teaching achievements. The candidate should be grounded in marine biology, with expertise at the interface between terrestrial and aquatic environments (estuaries and coastal meadows) appreciated. Skills in environmental modeling of nutrient cycling, water quality, and ecosystem functionalities in relation to marine nature restoration are preferred. The candidate should be able to work in an interdisciplinary team, both within and outside academia, and contextualize research in relation to national plans (WFD, Habitat directive, and climate adaptation plans). Experience in stakeholder and citizen science projects is valued. Teaching capabilities in GIS, environmental modeling, and climate adaptation are necessary.

We offer access to a well-developed research infrastructure, laboratory space, shared analytical equipment, a supportive research climate, and networking activities among scientists.

The candidate will be expected to:

  • Establish and lead their own research group, conduct externally funded research of high national and international quality, and publish research outcomes in peer-reviewed journals and advisory reports.
  • Participate in the Departmental teaching program by contributing to courses including environmental modeling, GIS, and tools in climate adaptation, as well as developing new relevant undergraduate and continuing education courses.
  • Supervise internship, bachelor, master’s, and PhD projects.
  • Communicate complex scientific findings and co-create dialogue between a wide range of stakeholders, politicians, citizens, and ministries.
  • Participate in departmental and university service and public outreach and governmental consultancy.
  • Communicate and write in both English and Danish is preferred.

Applicants must provide documentation of university-level courses in pedagogics or complete SDU’s lecturer training program within the first year of employment.

Questions about the position should be directed to Professor Mogens Flindt ( ) or Associate Professor Sara Egemose ( ).

Application, salary etc.
Appointment will be in accordance with the salary agreement between the Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. Please check links for more information on salary and taxation.

Applications will be assessed by an expert committee. When the committee issues its assessment, applicants will be sent the portion of the assessment pertaining to them personally.

The application must include:

  • A curriculum vitae
  • A full list of publications
  • Copy of PhD diploma
  • Copies of all publications on which the applicant wishes to be evaluated
  • A brief survey of the applicant's most important research results and plans for the next three years
  • A teaching portfolio (not applicable for assistant professor)
