Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) – The Research University in
the Helmholtz Association creates and imparts knowledge for the
society and the environment. It is our goal to make significant
contributions to mastering the global challenges of mankind in the
fields of energy, mobility, and information. For this, about 9,800
employees of KIT cooperate in a broad range of disciplines in
research, academic education, and innovation.<br>
<br>
The Division IV – Natural and Built Environment, Institute of
Meteorology and Climate Research Troposphere Research (IMKTRO), KIT
Department of Physics offers as soon as possible a permanent<br>
<br>
<b>University Professorship (W3) “Experimental Meteorology“</b><br>
<br>
We are looking for you as an internationally recognized personality
in the field of Experimental Meteorology in the troposphere, in
particular ground-based and airborne field research. You have
experience in the use of state-of-the-art in-situ and remote sensing
instruments (e.g. Eddy Covariance systems, lidars, radars, microwave
radiometers) in the context of field campaigns, as well as in the
area of data synthesis and interpretation. Your experimental
research enables collaboration in the fields of modelling, model
evaluation and data assimilation, e.g. by contributing to the
development of observation operators and multi-platform retrievals.<br>
<br>
IMKTRO works in the four research fields of (i) clouds and aerosols,
(ii) regional climate and climate change, (iii) weather and weather
forecasting and (iv) integrated field measurements. With the
KITcube, IMKTRO operates one of the world‘s most comprehensive
mobile atmospheric measurement systems, which has been used in
numerous international campaigns. In addition, KIT is a member of
the development consortium of the ICON model (with focus on aerosol
and regional climate modelling) and is in close research cooperation
with the German Weather Service.<br>
<br>
KIT offers an excellent interdisciplinary environment at the
interface between natural sciences and engineering. You will
cooperate closely with colleagues at the KIT Center for Climate and
Environment and the GRACE graduate school, and have a wide range of
opportunities to establish new collaborations at KIT and beyond. You
will continue your successful record of acquiring third-party
funding, e.g. in future-oriented topics such as the application of
methods of artificial intelligence. In addition, you will actively
contribute to the Helmholtz program „Changing Earth – Sustaining our
Future“, particularly in the framework of the new “Karlsruhe
Integrated Atmospheric Observation System (KIAOS)”.<br>
<br>
The Full Professorship (W3) is part of the collegial leadership of
the Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research Troposphere
Research (IMKTRO). With a teaching obligation of 9 semester hours
per week, you will represent Experimental Meteorology in compulsory
and elective lectures and practicals of the degree programs
„Meteorology and Climate Physics (BSc/MSc, German/English)“. You
will also be expected to participate in academic
self-administration.<br>
<br>
A PhD in meteorology (alternatively in physics, environmental
physics or similar) and outstanding, internationally visible
scientific achievements (a German Habilitation or an equivalent
qualification) are required for employment. Experience in leadership
and a high level of didactic competence are expected.<br>
<br>
Employment is subject to Art. 14, par. (2) of the KIT Act in
conjunction with Art. 47 LHG Baden-Württemberg (Act of
Baden-Württemberg on Universities and Colleges).<br>
<br>
As a family-friendly university, KIT offers part-time employment,
leaves of absence, a dual career service, and coaching to support
the work-life balance.<br>
<br>
We prefer to balance the number of employees (f/m/d). Therefore, we
kindly ask female applicants to apply for this job.<br>
<br>
Recognized severely disabled persons will be preferred if they are
equally qualified.<br>
<br>
Please mail your application with the usual documents (i.e. cover
letter, curriculum vitae, research concept, description of previous
teaching activities and teaching concept, equal opportunity and
diversity concept, as well as an overview of acquired third-party
funding and a publication list) until July 15, 2024 by using the
vacancy number 1211/2024 digitally as a single PDF file in English
to Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), KIT Division IV,
Department of Physics, 76128 Karlsruhe, Germany, e-mail: dekanat@
