**What the position offers you**:
We offer the opportunity to develop knowledge in large-scale 3D geological modelling in a challenging environment such as the European Alps. Furthermore, the position offers the chance for professional growth and leadership within a collaborative research team. ISTE is a multicultural, diverse, and dynamic academic environment, providing opportunities for training and networking. While the main language of the University of Lausanne is French, research-related exchanges can be conducted in English.
