Associate professor or professor in Global observations of atmospheric water

University of Gothenburg, Sweden
Closing date: 17 October 2023

Chalmers University of Technology is recruiting an Associate Professor or Professor to lead research on global observations of clouds, precipitation and humidity. The position is a permanent faculty position at the Division of Geoscience and Remote Sensing (GEO) at the Department of Space, Earth and Environment.

Major responsibilities
Your expertise will help us expand our research on the atmospheric branch of the hydrological cycle and its role in weather and climate. Particularly, your research should strengthen our capabilities in observing tropospheric water content and processes, for example, but not limited to, precipitation, evaporation, horizontal and vertical water transport, clouds, and latent heat transfer.

You will conduct research and develop your research program, secure funding for new projects, contribute to existing projects, and supervise PhD students and post-docs. Besides research, you are expected to teach up to 20% of your working time. Other important aspects of the position include communicating your research as well as cooperating within the department, academia, industry and with society at large.

In addition to the position’s specific field of research, the current recruitment should also foster and facilitate collaboration within the established research fields of the GEO division. The recruitment should be in line with the division’s strategy to strengthen the core expertise of the division rather than introducing entirely new research fields.

Contract terms
Full-time permanent employment.

Qualifications
You are an independent researcher with a PhD degree in atmospheric science, meteorology, physics, or related discipline.
