Faculty Positions (Full Professor and Tenure Track Assistant Professor)
(deadline March 5, 2012)
Atmospheric Composition Modelling and Observations

The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has vacancies for two positions in the atmospheric greenhouse gases group of the Centre for Isotope Research (CIO), which is part of the Energy and Sustainability Research Institute Groningen (ESRIG). One of the positions is a modeller, the other an observationalist.

The first candidate is expected to lead this group, and to extend the present, mainly observation-oriented group by a substantial modelling effort. The second candidate is expected to lead the present atmospheric observational programme of the CIO, directed to greenhouse gases and related tracers. Their experience and innovative ideas, and their fruitful interaction should develop the group into a leading international research group in this field. They have to be able to base the work to a large extent on external funding.

Both are excellent teachers who can motivate students of different disciplines and will develop new courses on specific topics about this subject in the BSc and the MSc programmes. Teaching duties include the supervision of bachelor, master and PhD students.
