University of Bremen
With around 20,000 students and approx. 3,500 staff members, the University of Bremen is a medium-sized university. It is one of Germany’s leading universities in terms of third-party funding and research.
The Faculty of Geosciences at the University of Bremen is an internationally established research and teaching institution. It covers the full spectrum of modern geosciences, offers five predominantly English-taught degree programmes (B.Sc. and M.Sc.) with a focus on applied, marine and materials sciences, and maintains close scientific cooperation with non-university research institutions. Together with the Research Faculty MARUM – Center for Marine Environmental Sciences, Bremen is a leading international research location in the field of marine sciences.

Position
We are seeking an enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher to join our Geodynamics and Geophysics group at the Department of Geosciences/MARUM, University of Bremen. This is a 3-year position, open to candidates' own research directions within the broad areas of numerical modelling of the processes driving rifting, oceanic spreading, and/or subduction. New aplication deadline: 7th October 2026.
The group investigates the dynamics of rifted margins and the formation of oceanic crust and plates. Research methods include developing and applying dynamic models of rifting and oceanic spreading, and integrating these models with geophysical, geochemical, and geological data.
The successful candidate will teach 4 hours per week in German or English at B.Sc[1]. and M.Sc[2]. level (§ 23 BremHG) and will co-supervise PhD and Master's students in the group. Candidates are expected to work towards their postdoctoral academic qualification (e.g., habilitation), to develop their own future project applications, and to actively contribute to and integrate with the group's research.
Your qualifications
- A completed academic degree (Master’s/university diploma) in computational geodynamics or related fields.
- A completed, relevant and recognised PhD in the field of geosciences.
- Experience in numerical modelling and scientific computing (UNIX/LINUX, MATLAB/Python/Julia).
- Independent academic work with a consistent record of publications.
- Good written and spoken English.
- Ability to work in a team, high reliability, a sense of responsibility and a willingness to cooperate.
