Join our interdisciplinary team as a postdoctoral scientist to apply your data science expertise to unique datasets for a highly relevant societal problem.

The Department of Earth Sciences is looking for an enthusiastic and communicative postdoctoral scientist with a strong background in data science who leverages scientific methods, processes, algorithms, and systems to extract knowledge and understanding from structured and unstructured data. You will work on the NWO-funded (Dutch Research Council) project ‘Developing a data-constrained forecasting model of surface deformation in the Groningen gas field region’.

Your job

Surface subsidence is a significant problem above the gas reservoir in the Netherlands province of Groningen, affecting the environment, buildings, infrastructure, and water management. Compaction of the reservoir continues to drive subsidence, but there also are other, shallower, earth processes that have a significant ...
