*Lecturer Position in Biogeosciences *

  The Faculty of Geosciences and the Environment at the University of 
Lausanne (Switzerland) wishes to appoint a Lecturer in the domain of 
Biogeosciences. Responsibilities will be divided approximately between 
research (c. 50%), teaching (c. 30%), and laboratory management (c. 
20%). This position will reinforce the Biogeosciences laboratory at the 
Institute of Earth Surface Dynamics (www.unil.ch/idyst 
<http://www.unil.ch/idyst>).

The successful candidate will be involved in teaching at both BSc and 
MSc levels and must be fluent in French (as most of the courses are 
taught in this language) and English. In the MSc in Biogeosciences 
program (www.biogeosciences.ch <http://www.biogeosciences.ch>), the 
following topics will be part of the teaching : global biogeochemical 
cycles, selected topics in advanced biomineralization, and methods for 
studying soils (lab courses). The lecturer will also participate and 
organize field courses and the supervision of Bachelor, Master, and PhD 
students, and will take part in the management of labs at the Institute 
of Earth Surface Dynamics.

Preferably, the candidate must have worked and published in one or more 
of the following fields: soil biogeochemistry, formation and diagenesis 
of terrestrial carbonates, terrestrial carbon cycle. He/she must have an 
excellent experience of fieldwork, particularly in temperate and 
tropical environments.

The position is for two years, but may be renewed for a further two 
years if performance is satisfactory. An appointee who proves to be
