<p>Kiel University and GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel
intend to attract more qualified women for professorships. The Faculty
of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at Kiel University, Germany, and
GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel jointly invite
applications for the following position to be filled as soon as
possible:</p>
<p>Junior Professorship (W1) in<br>
Theoretical Physical Oceanography</p>
<p>which is initially appointed for 3 years („Beamtenverhältnis auf
Zeit”). After positive evaluation, the position will be extended by up
to 3 additional years. The junior professorship is embedded at GEOMAR
Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel in the research unit “Theory
and Modelling” which is part of the research Division “Ocean Circulation
and Climate Dynamics”.</p>
<p>The junior professor is expected to initiate and lead excellent and
internationally recognized research in the area of ocean dynamics and
contribute to the theoretical understanding of the general ocean
circulation and its role in climate variability. We are looking for a
candidate with research experience and interests in one or more of the
following fields:</p>
<p>– theory of the large-scale ocean circulation and its variability<br>
– ocean mixing associated with mesoscale or submesoscale eddies<br>
and its parameterisation for use in ocean models<br>
– development and implementation of inverse methods to aid<br>
interpretation of observational datasets<br>
– dynamical concepts for data assimilation</p>
<p>The junior professorship will thematically and methodically enhance
the existing capacity of the research unit. It shall foster and expand
the existing collaboration within the research division and across
disciplines in Kiel Marine Sciences.</p>
<p>The junior professor is required to participate in the educational
programme of ocean and climate physics by teaching in theoretical
oceanography at both the undergraduate and graduate level. The teaching
commitment is 4 semester hours per week. It is required that lectures
can be given in English. The willingness to teach in German within 3
years is expected.</p>
<p>A requirement of the position is a doctoral degree. The position has

<p>Kiel University and GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel
both wish to increase the number of female scientists in faculty
positions and encourage applications of qualified women. Female
applicants will be given priority if their qualifications and
achievements are equal to those of male applicants. Applications from
scientists with disabilities will be given priority in case of equal
qualifications. We explicitly encourage candidates with a migration
background to apply. Please refrain from submitting photographs.</p>
<p>Applications should be written in English and include (1) cover
letter; (2) curriculum vitae including certificates of academic degrees,
list of publications, past and present funding and information on
teaching experience; (3) statement of previous and future research
interests and (4) a teaching plan. Applications together with private
and academic mailing and e-mail addresses and telephone number should be
submitted by December 31, 2016 to The Dean, Faculty of Mathematics and
Natural Sciences, Kiel University, D-24098 Kiel, Germany.</p>
