The swisstopo SA3D project aims at building a harmonised large-scale 3D geological model of the Alpine region of Switzerland until 2030. Such 3D models support a wide range of applications, including, but not limited to, infrastructure planning, groundwater resource management, natural hazard assessment, and georesources exploration. SA3D employs advanced 3D geological modelling techniques and consolidates extensive expertise in regional geology, sourced from multiple academic institutions. Through such coordinated collaboration, SA3D aims to deliver an accurate and reliable underground geological models. To complete the SA3D project, swisstopo funds multiple modelling projects across various universities, each tasked with building a total of eight 3D geological sub-models of distinct areas in the Alpine orogen. The here announced position involves two main responsibilities: (i) integrating and consolidating the eight SA3D sub-models into one unified regional 3D geological model, ensuring technical and interpretative consistency, and (ii) developing one of the regional sub-models in the South Alpine domain, providing a robust scientific interpretation.

To strengthen our team within the framework of the Swiss Alps 3D (SA3D) project in collaboration with swisstopo, we are looking for a motivated and skilled geoscientist to join us for a period of up to five years, starting on 5 January 2026 or by agreement.

The position is fixed-term with 1-year contracts. In agreement with swisstopo, annual renewal is foreseen until the end of 2030 (maximum 5 years).
