INTERCOAST – Integrated Coastal Zone and Shelf-Sea Research

International Research Training Group
INTERCOAST – Integrated Coastal Zone and Shelf-Sea Research

The DFG funded International Research Training Group INTERCOAST in collaboration between the University of Bremen (Germany) and University of Waikato (New Zealand) will be filling a PhD scholarship

The work will concern on the general area of in-situ and laboratory soil characterization of natural and use-influenced coastal areas in the framework of the project IC4 dealing with geotechnical frontiers and open questions related to constructional impacts during coastal development. Geotechnical soil properties from offshore construction to the reuse of dredged material in harbour construction and related environmental concerns form the thematic outline of the PhD scholarship.

During dredging and construction projects, such as offshore wind park development and/or harbour construction, vast amounts of fine grained material have to be handled in Northern Germany and in New Zealand. The dislocation of fine grained sediments raises logistic, geotechnical and environmental questions to be dealt with. The aim of the project IC7 is to contribute to a better understanding of material properties and in-situ investigation techniques to make fine grained coastal material more predictable in terms of re-use and construction purposes. Recently, new in-situ testing equipment was developed in Bremen – the Ph. D. candidate will have the opportunity to use this novel state-of-the- art equipment in applied and basic complementary projects along the North Sea, Germany, and the Bay of Plenty area in New Zealand.

We are searching for an enthusiastic and dynamic researcher who is interested in the field of geotechnical lab- and field testing with openness to interdisciplinary, especially environmental questions. The successful candidate will work in projects involving field (in-situ testing) and lab work based in New Zealand and the North Sea, Germany.

Requirements:
* Completed MSc or Diploma degree in Geology, Civil Engineering, Geophysics, Physics, Earth Sciences or related fields
* Existing knowledge/interests in engineering geology, geotechnics, soil testing, sedimentology, or related fields
* Side Skills in scientific computing, programming or basic numeric modelling/simulatio n are highly welcome

The position is limited to a term of up to 3 years and funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG). Salary and benefits are linked to the federal German employee scale E TVL13/2.

Applicants should submit under the reference number A133/09 (IC4) their letter of motivation, a CV including copies of diplomas, a publication list if applicable, and contact information for three referees. These documents should be submitted electronically as a pdf document (maximum size 1 MB) to Prof. Dr. Katrin Huhn (khuhn[at]uni- bremen.de) and Prof. Dr. Tobias Moerz (tmoerz[at]uni- bremen.de) .
The deadline for the application is December 1st, 2009.

The University of Bremen is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applications from all qualified individuals. In addition to the scientific education the research training group supports families. As the University of Bremen intends to increase the proportion of female employees in science, women are particularly encouraged to apply. In the case of equal personal aptitudes and qualification, priority will be given to disabled persons.

Jakarta 10720, Indonesia

1. The buses which goes to Senen Bus Station all of them pass through Gedung Balai Pustaka. Especially which route is through Pasar Baru .

2. Bus Transjakarta, from Blok M you have to change the bus 2-3 times.
Way 1 : from Blok M change the bus in Dukuh Atas bus stop to the bus towards Pulogadung, then take a bus in Pramuka bus stop towards Ancol, this bus pass through Gedung Balai Pustaka. The closest bus stop (Budi Utomo) is about 800 meters from Gedung Balai .
Way 2 : From Blok M take the bus in the Harmoni Bus Stop, the bus towards Pulogadung, get down in Senen Bus Stop and walk about 800 meters, or from this bus stop take the bus towards Ancol and get down as mentioned in way 1. About the distance, this two bus stops is about the same. (It is better if you take ojek or bajaj from this bus stop to Gedung Balai Pustaka)

3. If you take taxi with old tariff (TL=Tarif Lama) from blok M with no traffic jam is about Rp. 30.000,00.

4. From Blok M use bus Patas AC 76. Gedung Balai Pustaka is in the right side, after you pass through Depag, and say to conductor "Balai Pustaka"

5. Use a busway from Blok M towards Kota, get down in Sawah Besar bus stop. From here take a Mikrolet M12 towards Senen. After cross road Wahidin and before senen get down and cross the street.
