Junior professorship (non-tenured) in Goettingen

Post by Jens Niemeyer » May 12 2010

The Faculty of Physics at the Georg-August University Goettingen invites applications for a Junior Professorship (W1) in computational cosmology with emphasis on cosmological structure formation.

See also http://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/152508.html for more information. Closing date: June 11, 2010.

The appointment will initially be made for 3 years, with possible extension for another 3 years following positive evaluation.

The successful candidate is expected to be highly qualified in cosmological structure formation research. Extensive experience in at least one of the following fields is necessary: numerical simulations of large scale structure evolution, thermal and chemical evolution of the intergalactic medium, galaxy formation and evolution, evolution of galaxy clusters, reionization of the universe. A modern research infrastructure will be provided. Active participation in the planned Collaborative Research Center on "Astrophysical Flow Instabilities and Turbulence" will be expected.

The teaching requirements include a participation in the regular physics curriculum at the undergraduate and graduate level for 4 h/week during the semester.

The formal requirements for the recruitment follow § 25 NHG (Nds. GVBl. 5/2007, S. 69). The Public Law Foundation Goettingen University holds the right of appointments. Details can be given upon inquiry. Previous periods of employment as scientific assistant or researcher should not exceed 6 years; details can be found in the NHG.

Applications from foreign countries are encouraged. A part time appointment can possibly be given. Handicapped candidates are given priority, if equally qualified. The University of Goettingen is determined to increase the percentage of female professors. Therefore, we strongly encourage qualified female scientists to apply.

Applications with the standard documents (CV, publication list, presentation of teaching and research record, diplomas) should be sent by 11th June 2010 to:

Dekan der Fakultaet fuer Physik
der Georg-August-Universitaet Goettingen
Friedrich-Hund-Platz 1
D-37077 Goettingen
GERMANY
