Professor in applied basin research and structural geology

The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) seeks an applicant with a strong research profile in applied basin research including expertise in large-scale structural geology, tectonism and depositional systems to fill a new full professor position.

You are expected to contribute to GEUS’ overall strategy by strengthening our knowledge of interpretation reflection seismic data in integration with other techniques involving well and outcrop data. GEUS conducts basin analyses to investigate the storage and resource potential within sedimentary basins in the Kingdom of Denmark.

GEUS further collects large amounts of marine and onshore seismic data to improve our understanding of sedimentary basins, the deep crust-mantle system, and the evolution of different tectonic provinces. GEUS further has a core repository that stores cores and cuttings from Danish wells, and we have advanced laboratory facilities for core analyses, radiometric dating and provenance investigations.

Much of GEUS’ own data collection has typically focused on the Danish and Greenlandic areas, but GEUS is also involved in other international studies involving both cross-border basin analysis and applied basin studies in other parts of the world. The professor is expected to contribute and drive such studies within the GEUS’ strategy1 …
