Tenure-Track Professorship in Aerosol Modelling

Tenure-Track Professorship in Aerosol Modelling

The University of Vienna is internationally renowned for its excellence in teaching and research, and counts more than 7,500 academics from all disciplines. At the Faculty of Physics, the University of Vienna seeks to appoint a Tenure-Track Professorship in Aerosol Modelling.

The position

The University of Vienna is seeking an excellent candidate for a tenure-track position in the field of aerosol modelling. The position is situated within the research area Aerosol Physics and Environmental Physics with great opportunities for research synergies with the existing groups both at the Faculty of Physics and the Faculty of Earth Sciences, Geography and Astronomy.

The main research direction is the modelling of aerosol properties over the whole particle size spectrum, complementing existing experimental research at the aerosol group. Possible areas may span from particle microphysics and mixing state to optical, radiative and aerodynamic properties, aerosol-cloud interaction, and transport effects in small and large volumes.

Candidates with a strong background in atmospheric aerosol science, aerosol optics, aerosol radiative properties, aerodynamics, irregularly-shaped particles and atmospheric aerosol modelling will be preferred. The successful candidate will develop their own line of research, expanding the research environment of the group and increasing its impact and visibility.
