Full Professorship (W3) in Experimental Physics (Environmental Physics) (f/m/d)

Candidates are expected to conduct internationally recognized research regarding the modelling of the Earth’s environmental systems and climate. Possible, but not exclusive, subject areas are the terrestrial systems (soil, biosphere and/or cryosphere) within the climate system and/or the coupling between terrestrial systems and other compartments of the environment. We particularly seek candidates who develop and/or make use of modern concepts such as attribution science, machine learning, or data assimilation applied to advanced numerical models, but are not limited to those. The new focus will complement current research on atmospheric and aquatic systems as well as past climates at the Institute of Environmental Physics (IUP). The Department of Physics and Astronomy, the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR), and the Heidelberg Center for the Environment (HCE) offer a stimulating environment at Heidelberg University.

The successful candidate has a strong background in physics and climate dynamics or related fields, enabling contributions to the teaching program in physics at all levels. He or she will be a member of the directorate of the IUP and play a leading role in joint grant applications. Prerequisites for application are a university degree and (in accordance with Article 47, paragraph 2 of the Higher Education Law of the State of Baden- Wrttemberg) a Habilitation, a successfully evaluated junior professorship, an ERC grant, or an equivalent qualification.

Qualified candidates are invited to submit their application in English including a CV, a list of publications, a list with teaching experience and a research plan in electronic form (pdf) until July 8, 2021 to the Dean, Prof. Dr. T. Plehn, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Im Neuenheimer Feld 226, D-69120 Heidelberg (dekanat@physik.uni-heidelberg.de).

Heidelberg University stands for equal opportunities and diversity.

Qualified female candidates are especially invited to apply.

Disabled persons will be given preference if they are equally qualified.
