GFZ is Germany's national centre for solid Earth research. We advance the understanding of dynamic processes to address global challenges, from mitigating the impacts of natural hazards and sustaining our habitat amid global change to responsibly managing georesources. We are part of the Helmholtz Association, the largest German scientific organisation. With around 1,200 employees as well as ca. 500 guest researchers, we contribute to the Helmholtz Research Field Earth and Environment, aligning cutting-edge research with societal relevance and international collaboration. Our work integrates multidisciplinary studies across Earth's system components, leveraging advanced technologies and infrastructure to research solutions and to transfer our knowledge to society. We are doing this according to our vision: "Taking the pulse of our Earth to safeguard a habitable planet".
For section 4.4 Hydrology (department "Geosystems"), we are looking for an:
Engineer (f_m_x) – Terrestrial hydrogravimetry
Reference Number 10488
Are you passionate about cutting-edge science and its potential to address real-world challenges? We are excited to be seeking a talented Field Engineer to join our team working on a groundbreaking EU‑funded project, EQUIP‑G. This project is all about the newest technological development in gravimetry: quantum gravimeters, instruments that are becoming increasingly important in fields like hydrology, volcanology, climatology, and geothermal energy.
As a core of EQUIP‑G, we will set up the first network of quantum gravimeters as an infrastructure prototype across Europe. We will bring this technology to life through numerous use cases that act as a proof of concept of this cutting-edge technology and demonstrate its added value for research and applications. At GFZ, we are leading 3 of these 8 use cases. You will be involved in all stages, from development, testing and deployment to data collection and analysis. This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to a truly innovative project and become part of an internationally growing community of scientists and engineers.
