Junior Professorship in Marine Meteorology

Junior Professorship in Marine Meteorology

GEOMAR - Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research

Kiel, Germany

The Junior Professor is expected to initiate and lead excellent and internationally recognized research in the field of meteorology with links to ocean and climate research. We are looking for a candidate with research experience and interests in one or more of the following areas:

• Observations and remote sensing;
• Theory, modelling and diagnostic of ocean-atmosphere interactions;
• Understanding the processes of atmospheric dynamics and physics in the troposphere and stratosphere;
• Analysing atmospheric climate fluctuations, including extreme weather events;
• Development of atmospheric components of Earth system models;
• Data science and machine learning for the evaluation of meteorological data or as a basis for digital twins;
• Sea-going research.

The Junior Professor shall thematically and methodically enhance the existing capacity of the research unit, expressed by a research plan. We particularly expect interdisciplinary cooperation within the research division and across disciplines within Kiel Marine Sciences (KMS). The professorship is associated with teaching in the Kiel Bachelor's/Master's degree programs (within the teaching obligation) in English and potentially also in German in the field of meteorology and climate physics, for which a suitable teaching concept must be submitted.

The successful applicant should have a university degree in mathematics, natural sciences or engineering and a PhD in meteorology, physical oceanography, climate sciences, physics, mathematics or data science in Earth system sciences and a publication record in meteorology or climate sciences. Experience in obtaining third party funding and teaching is an advantage.
