The Department of Earth Systems Analysis (ESA) of the International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) is a centre of expertise in geology, geomorphology, soil sciences, mineral exploration and exploration geophysics. It seeks to provide and apply relevant geo-information for the understanding of earth surface and geological processes for the sustainable use of georesources and for the use of geoscience in the mitigation of natural and man-induced disasters. The focus is on themes in the earth sciences that are of societal relevance, such as georesources management, exploration and exploitation, land degradation, natural hazards and disaster management in relation to earth dynamic processes, and environmental geosciences and process modelling. The Institute also has a laboratory facility for geochemical, water and soil analysis. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />The Institute invites applications for the two positions of lecturer (Docent).
