<p>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.</p>
<p>In Division IV – Natural and Built Environment – in the
KIT-Faculty of Physics at the Institute of Meteorology and Climate
Research Atmospheric Trace Gases and Remote Sensing (IMKASF) we
are seeking to fill as soon as possible a University Professorship
(W3) <br>
</p>
<p><b>“Atmospheric Trace Gases and Remote Sensing” </b><br>
<br>
We are looking for an internationally recognised person in the
field of remote sensing of atmospheric composition. You have
experience in the deployment, respectively in the development, of
remote sensing instruments and methods, preferably including the
thermal infrared. Your research improves the process understanding
regarding atmospheric composition and climate. You will lead the
section “Balloons, Aircrafts and Satellites” at IMKASF and develop
it further in terms of technology and research content.. Your
research creates interfaces towards other observational methods
and modelling at the Institute of Meteorology and Climate
Research, at KIT, in the Helmholtz Programme “Changing Earth” and
beyond. <br>
<br>
The IMKASF comprises three sections, all of them working on key
areas related to questions about the role of atmospheric
composition in climate change, in particular the role of the
stratosphere. The section assigned to this professorship combines
world-leading expertise in the development and application of
infrared remote sensing and retrieval theory using various
platforms and devices (e.g. MIPAS, GLORIA and the further
development GLORIA-Lite). The other two sections focus on remote
sensing of atmospheric composition from the ground and from
operational satellites, as well as atmospheric modelling of air
composition in global and regional model configurations. The
institute sections collaborate closely in a spirit of partnership.
A joint research data management is being continuously developed
. <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 Centers for Climate
and Environment and MathSEE and their graduate schools. You will
have numerous opportunities to establish new collaborations at KIT
and beyond. In your function as section head in the
program-oriented research you actively engage in the development
of our infrastructures in the Research Field Earth and Environment
and contribute to the Helmholtz Programme “Changing Earth –
Sustaining our Future”, particularly in the framework of the new
“Karlsruhe Integrated Atmospheric Observation System (KIAOS)”.
Successful acquisition of third-party funding thereby serves to
strengthen and further develop your research focii. <br>
<br>
With a reduced teaching obligation of 2 semester hours per week,
you will represent Atmospheric Remote Sensing in compulsory and
optional lectures and practical training of the degree programs
"Meteorology and Climate Physics” (BSc/MSc,German/English).
Participation in the academic self-administration of KIT is
appreciated.<br>
<br>
A PhD in meteorology, physics, environmental physics or a related
subject area is expected. Outstanding, internationally visible
academic achievements (equivalent to habilitation or successfully
evaluated junior professorship) are required, experience in
personnel management and pedagogical aptitude need to be
demonstrated.<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>
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
31, 2024 by using the vacancy number 1257/2024 digitally as a
single PDF file in English to Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
(KIT), KIT Division IV, via the KIT Department of Physics,
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), 76128 Karlsruhe by

One of the strategic goals of KIT is to strengthen diversity and
to increase the proportion of women in research and teaching.
Women and members of underrepresented groups are particularly
encouraged to apply. <br>
<br>
Recognized severely disabled persons will be preferred if they are
equally qualified.<br>
