applications for a PhD position in the general areas of earth sciences 
and geochronology (http://www.baunat.boku.ac.at/15208.html). The 
successful candidate will apply field methods and different luminescence 
techniques for establishing a chronostratigraphy of glaciofluvial 
terraces in the northern Alpine Foreland. The temporal focus lies in the

the chronology of ice extent and fluvial dynamics in the study area is 
poorly known.
