About this position

The University of Vienna is advertising a University Assistant postdoctoral position in Atmospheric Transport Modelling within the Atmospheric Transport Processes research group led by Prof. Andreas Stohl at the Department of Meteorology and Geophysics.

The group develops the Lagrangian transport model FLEXPART and studies atmospheric transport across a wide range of topics, including greenhouse gases, pollutants, water vapour, heat, and inverse modelling for sources of greenhouse gases, radionuclides, and air pollutants. The future research strategy also includes studies of the higher atmosphere. The advertised project mentions possible research topics such as contamination transport in the atmosphere, microplastics pollution, and transport of water or heat in the atmosphere.

This is a postdoctoral research and teaching role. Duties include active participation in research and teaching, independent teaching within the collective bargaining agreement, co-supervision of BSc and MSc theses, publication in peer-reviewed journals, and contributing to the collaborative culture of the team and department.

Eligibility highlights include a completed PhD/doctoral degree in atmospheric sciences (for example meteorology or climatology) or a related field, experience in data analysis and interpretation grounded in theoretical/physical understanding, strong teamwork skills, and very good English.

The position is based at the University of Vienna in Vienna, Austria. It is a temporary replacement position available from 23 November 2026 to 15 March 2027, with possible extension by mutual agreement if the absence is prolonged. The gross salary is at least EUR 5,014.30 paid 14 times per year.

To apply, submit a short letter of interest, a CV with publication list, and contact details for two referees through the university job portal. The application deadline is 26 October 2026.
