Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of Glaciology

The Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering (www.baug.ethz.ch<http://www.baug.ethz.ch>) at ETH Zurich and the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research, WSL (www.wsl.ch<http://www.wsl.ch>) invite applications for the above-mentioned assistant professorship.

The assistant professor will lead a research group to be shared between the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering at ETH Zurich and the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research, with a strong research focus on alpine glaciology. The new assistant professor will be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate level courses, to maintain an active research programme, and to contribute to the departmental service. The research group will be located at the Laboratory of Hydraulics, Hydrology and Glaciology at ETH campus Hönggerberg in Zurich as well as at the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research in Birmensdorf.

The successful candidate should hold a doctoral degree in civil or environmental engineering or a related discipline and should have expertise in physical glaciology. Relevant research areas include, but are not limited to, dynamic behavior of mountain glaciers, sub-glacial processes, fracture growth and mechanical failure in glacier ice, glacier hazards and climate-glacier interactions. We are particularly interested in individuals who combine acquisition and interpretation of data with theoretical work. The development and use of numerical models (e.g. ice flow, ice fracturing, glacier hydraulics) to combine research and engineering problems with observations is also a desired research direction. The selected candidate should establish an attractive teaching programme and must be committed to excellence in education, as well as promote, execute and apply modern teaching methods.



The new assistant professor will be expected to teach undergraduate level courses (German or English) and graduate level courses (English).


This assistant professorship has been established to promote the careers of younger scientists. The initial appointment is for four years with the possibility of renewal for an additional three-year period and promotion to a permanent position.
