The Institute of Geological Sciences at the University of Bern, Switzerland, invites applications for a Full Professorship (tenured) starting on August 1, 2012.
The successful candidate is expected to establish an internationally competitive research and teaching program in Structural Geology. Teaching duties include courses at all levels (BSc in German, MSc in English) for students with a major in Geology and also for students in Geography. It is also expected that the successful candidate will take on selected administrative responsibilities within the University and will collaborate in projects with other members of the Faculty of Science.
Candidates must have a strong scientific record in the field of Structural Geolo-gy, as demonstrated by publications in international peer-reviewed journals and by the acquisition of external research funding. In addition to demonstrated scientific and teaching excellence, candidates with the ability to combine field observations with quantitative models of processes in the Earth's crust will be given preference. The desired research emphasis is on large-scale geodynamic processes that form the Earth's surface, and/or the role of fluids in the deformation of the Earth's upper crust. The University of Bern is ideally situated to take advantage of the Alps as a focus of research and teaching.
The University of Bern particularly encourages women to apply for this position. The employment conditions and the research environment at the University of Bern are both very attractive. Applications including a curriculum vitae, a publication list, copies of the five most important publications, a brief outline of past and future research, and a list of external funds raised, should be sent either as a printed copy to Prof. Dr. Silvio Decurtins, Dean of the Faculty of Science, University of Bern, Sidlerstrasse 5, CH-3012 Bern, Switzerland, or as a single PDF-file via e-mail to: dekan@natdek.unibe.ch, by February 10, 2011.
