As of April 1, 2008, the Institute for Geoinformatics at the University of Münster has an opening for a

Junior Professor (with tenure track)

Our Institute is the first and largest of its kind in Germany. Research and teaching cover the semantics of geospatial information, spatial assistance systems, process modeling and simulation, geostatistics, interoperability in service-oriented architectures, spatial data infrastructures, and geovisualization.

The new faculty colleague will be expected to build and manage a research group, teach two courses each semester (at least 4 hours a week, in German and/or English), advise graduate students, and contribute to administrative duties.

Applicants should have a PhD in a relevant field and a record of research excellence in an innovative field contributing to Geoinformatics (Geographic Information Science). They should not have been employed as researchers at a German university (wissenschaftliche/r Mitarbeiter/in or wissenschaftliche Hilfskraft) for more than a total of six years so far.

Salary is according to the German W1 scale. The contract will be for an initial three years, to be extended for 3 more years after a successful mid-term evaluation. After these, candidates will be able to apply for tenure at the W2 level.

Women are especially encouraged to apply. Handicapped applicants with equal qualifications will be given preferential treatment.
