Jobs in Research & Teaching Jobs in Administration & Organisation The University of Vienna is internationally renowned for its excellence in teaching and research, and counts more than 7,500 academics from all disciplines. This breadth of expertise offers unique opportunities to address the complex challenges of modern society, to develop comprehensive new approaches, and educate the problem-solvers of tomorrow from a multidisciplinary perspective. The Faculty of Physics at the University of Vienna invites applications for a Tenure-Track Professorship in Aerosol Modelling The position The University of Vienna is seeking an excellent candidate for a tenure-track position in the field of aerosol modelling. The position is situated within the research area Aerosol Physics and Environmental Physics with great opportunities for research synergies with the existing groups both at the Faculty of Physics and the Faculty of Earth Sciences, Geography and Astronomy. The main research direction is the modelling of aerosol properties over the whole particle size spectrum, complementing existing experimental research at the aerosol group. Possible areas may span from particle microphysics and mixing state to optical, radiative and aerodynamic properties, aerosol-cloud interaction, and transport effects in small and large volumes (e.g., instrumental inlets, atmosphere). Candidates with a strong background in the topical areas of atmospheric aerosol science, aerosol optics, aerosol radiative properties, aerodynamics, irregularly-shaped particles (e.g. mineral dust, volcanic ash, soot, microplastics etc.), and atmospheric aerosol modelling will be preferred. The successful candidate will develop their own line of research, expanding the vibrant research environment of the group and increasing its impact and visibility. The Aerosol Physics and Environmental Physics (AEP) Group at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Vienna combines laboratory, ground-based and aircraft experiments with innovative modelling to study the fundamental physical and chemical properties of aerosol particles and clouds. Climate, Environment, and Sustainability is one of the University of Vienna’s strategic priorities; the AEP Group’s work supports this priority and actively engages with the University’s Environment and Climate Research Hub, fostering strong interdisciplinary links and collaboration opportunities. Our current research focuses on different areas of aerosol science such as nucleation/new particle formation, microphysical and optical aerosol properties, aerosol long-range transport, cloud microphysics, nano-/microplastics, and covers the whole size spectrum from the nano- to the microscale.
