Job description

Offer DescriptionJob description:The University of Vienna is a community of over 10,000 individuals, including approximately 7,500 academic staff members, who passionately pursue answers to the profound questions that shape our future. Fueled by curiosity and a deep sense of duty, they contribute invaluable insights to research and teaching, enriching our society. Are you inspired and driven by the desire to make a meaningful impact? We are currently seeking a/anUniversity Assistant postdoctoral51 Faculty of PhysicsStartdate: 01.12.2024 | Working hours: 40 | Collective bargaining agreement: §48 VwGr. B1 lit. b (postdoc)Limited until: 30.11.2030Reference no.: 3210Are you interested in experimental aerosol physics and developing novel methods? Are you fascinated by large-scale international aircraft field experiments addressing urgent environmental challenges such as climate change? Do you enjoy being in the field and deploying novel instrumentation for coarse mode aerosol and cloud characterization? If so, we invite you to join the Aerosol Physics and Environmental Physics Group.Where to apply WebsiteRequirementsSpecific RequirementsYour personal sphere of play:As a university assistant (Post-doc) in this 6-year position, you will be part of the Aerosol Physics and Environmental Physics Group around Professor Bernadett Weinzierl.The Aerosol Physics and Environmental Physics (AEP) Group at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Vienna combines highly-sophisticated laboratory, ground-based and aircraft experiments with innovative modelling to study the fundamental physical and chemical properties of aerosol particles and clouds. Current research focuses on related but different areas of aerosol science and covers the whole size spectrum from the nano- to the microscale. We are looking for a motivated Post-doc to extend our team.Your future tasks:Active participation in research, teaching & administration, which means:

• You will be involved in unique ground-based and airborne research projects in which we collaborate with top scientific institutions such as NASA and NOAA.
• You will be in the field for large-scale aircraft measurement campaigns (typically several weeks per year) that only a few groups in the world carry out.
• You will contribute to the setup and operation of upcoming ACTRIS National Facility for aerosol in-situ at the University of Vienna.
• Your research will focus on microphysical aerosol properties, and on the detection of airborne microplastics.
• You will perform laboratory characterization of new instruments for ground-based and airborne application.
• You will analyze and interpret data from the urban background Aerosol Observatory at the University of Vienna, and from past and upcoming ground- and airborne field experiments.
• You will continuously stay informed about the state of the art in your field, and develop and strengthen an independent research profile.
• You will contribute to outreach by publications, conference presentations and public activities.
• You will contribute to the success and self-organization of the group for research, and help with some administrative tasks.
• You will contribute to project applications and the acquisition of third-party funding.
• You will independently teach courses as defined by the collective agreement, and (co-)supervise students.

This is part of your personality:

• You have completed your PhD degree or Diploma in physics, and/or aerosol related topics such as atmospheric sciences, aerosol chemistry or meteorology.
• Knowledge in experimental physics and field work, ideally in aerosol physics and/or atmospheric physics, including measurements of aerosol microphysical properties.
• Very good programming skills (including Python and/or Igor).
• Experience with airborne field measurements.
• Willingness to travel (typically several weeks per field experiment abroad).
• Physical conditions for participating in research flights.
• Driver’s license is considered an asset.
• Experience with measurement techniques for aerosol microphysical properties is considered an asset.
• Experience in teaching aerosol physics-related classes is considered an asset.
• Experience with the acquisition of third-party funding is considered an asset.
• High ability to express yourself both orally and in writing.
• Excellent command of written and spoken English.
• Ability to work in a team.
