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:

Junior Professorship (W1) in
Theoretical Physical Oceanography

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”.

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:

– theory of the large-scale ocean circulation and its variability
– ocean mixing associated with mesoscale or submesoscale eddies
and its parameterisation for use in ocean models
– development and implementation of inverse methods to aid
interpretation of observational datasets
– dynamical concepts for data assimilation

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.

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.

A requirement of the position is a doctoral degree. The position has been
opened with respect to Art. § 64 of the “Higher Education Act” of the State
of Schleswig-Holstein. General information can be found at the homepage
http://www.berufungen.uni-kiel.de. For additional information about the
position please contact Prof. Dr. Arne Biastoch (abiastoch(at)geomar.de).

Detailed information about the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research
Kiel can be found under http://www.geomar.de.

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.

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.
