[Equal] ETH Zürich: Ausschreibung: Professur in Computation Science und Multiscale Modeling

[EqualOpportunity (SL)]

Professor of Computational Science

Professor of Multiscale Materials Modeling

 

ETH Zurich is strengthening its engagement in the area of computational science and high performance computing. The initiative includes interdisciplinary research and teaching collaborations as well as a strong interaction with the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) at Manno/Ticino which is part of ETH Zurich.

 

Applications from candidates with internationally recognized research credentials and proven teaching abilities are invited for two professorial positions:

 

Professor of Computational Science

The Department of Computer Science (www.inf.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites applications for a professorship of Computational Science. The new professor should have an excellent record of internationally recognized research, which demonstrates a strong knowledge of computer science and links with computational methods and application domains. The expertise may encompass computational methods including multiscale modeling, uncertainty quantification, or nonlinear dynamics integrated with high performance computing for simulation of challenging problems in application areas such as biology, climate or materials science. A strong background in Computer Science is required for this position. A demonstrated record in interdisciplinary, innovative research bridging Computer Science with other scientific fields while contributing to the development of fundamental computer science concepts is highly desirable. The future professor is expected to establish and lead a research group within the Department of Computer Science at ETH Zurich. The successful candidate shall contribute to teaching courses in Computational Science and core courses of Computer Science. He or she will be expected to teach undergraduate level courses (German and English) and graduate level courses (English).

 

Professor of Multiscale Materials Modeling

The Department of Material Science (www.mat.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites applications for a professorship of Multiscale Materials Modeling. The new professor should have experience with static and dynamic simulation techniques in computational science and engineering. It is expected that these simulation techniques are used for systematic coarse graining to solve the time-scale problem in the context of relevant applications from materials science. Theoretical modeling is anticipated to complement and support simulations in reaching the goal of understanding materials properties in terms of atomic structure. The successful candidate is expected to establish close collaborative relationships with other members of the Department - established both through applications and on fundamentals of multiscale modeling and to teach students of Materials Science at all levels, as well as offer specialized courses for other disciplines (e.g. Physics, Chemistry, Computational Science, Applied Mathematics). For this position applications are accepted for all levels (assistant professorship with tenure track through tenured full professor position). The future professor will be expected to teach undergraduate level courses (German and English) and graduate level courses (English).

 

Please submit your application together with a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, the names of at least three referees, and a short overview of the research interests to the President of ETH Zurich, Prof. Dr. Ralph Eichler, Raemistrasse 101, ETH Zurich, 8092 Zurich, Switzerland, no later than August 31, 2009. With a view toward increasing the number of female professors, ETH Zurich specifically encourages qualified female candidates to apply.
