Tenure-track Professorship (W1) for Geology

We are looking for a person who represents the field of geology in research and teaching with enthusiasm and places emphasis on innovative research. A focus on sediments and sedimentary rocks is desirable. You will join the academic staff at Institute of Applied Geosciences (AGW) in working together across disciplines. Furthermore, you have didactic skills, look back on internationally visible scientific achievements, and are able to raise third-party funds.  

You will be responsible for teaching tasks in the areas of geology, sedimentology, and geological field training. Within the framework of the W1 professorship, you will teach four semester periods per week (referred to as SWS) up to the interim evaluation, followed by six SWS. You are able to teach in German, or will acquire the required language skills.

As a tenure-track professor, you will be part of the management team of Institute of Applied Geosciences and participate in KIT's academic self-administration.

According to Article 51, Landeshochschulgesetz Baden-Württemberg – LHG (Baden-Württemberg Act on Universities and Colleges), the employment is for six years as a civil servant on a temporary basis or as an employee.

This tenure-track professorship (W1) is funded by the "Bund-Länder Program for the Promotion of Early-career Researchers".

The evaluation procedure and the general evaluation criteria follow the "Quality Assurance Concept for Junior Professorships with Tenure Track at KIT" (available at the Dean's Office). Of particular importance for the interim and final evaluations are the above-mentioned subject-specific focuses, i.e. visible own contributions to the relevant area of research and teaching, internal and external cooperation as well as acquisition of third-party funding.
