The University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) is accepting applications for a full-time, permanent position as a professor or associate professor in remote sensing of the Cryosphere.
Applicants should have a strong background in remote sensing with special focus towards earth observation of the cryosphere. The position will add expertise to the department within remote sensing of glaciers, ice sheets, snow cover, and sea ice. The successful candidate must have some experience in conducting fieldwork in Arctic conditions, and is expected to work closely with the physical and chemical oceanographers and meteorologists in the department. Research and education within air-ice-ocean interaction processes will be strengthened through a permanent position in remote sensing of the cryosphere by combining remote sensed data with in situ time series in the atmosphere, on the ice and in the ocean systems.
Applicants must be able to document their qualifications as Full or Associate Professor. To be considered for the position of Associate Professor, a PhD in an appropriate field, or its equivalent, is the minimum requirement. Professor qualifications must be documented as UNIS does not evaluate applicants for professorships.
Arctic fieldwork experience is desired due to the strong fieldwork focus at UNIS, where research and teaching involve year-round field activities. Knowledge and experience from the Norwegian university sector is an advantage.
Applications must be submitted online and include:
- An extensive curriculum vitae, including a full list of publications and previously held grants;
- Education, pedagogic, or teaching certificates, including a list of previously supervised graduate and PhD students, where applicable; and
- Five publications authored or co-authored by the candidate.
