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.
