| Full Professor of Space-Based Astrophysics, U. Vienna | Closing date: 2025-09-17
Contact: Glenn van de Ven |
| In the Department of Astrophysics (https://astro.univie.ac.at/en/) within the Faculty of Earth Sciences, Geography and Astronomy, the University of Vienna seeks to appoint a Full Professor of Space-Based Astrophysics. | | ▸ more |
Space-based observatories have opened up large, new areas of astrophysical research. By far the largest part of the electromagnetic spectrum is accessible only from space and has tremendously enriched astronomy with the discovery of new astronomical objects and previously inaccessible phenomenology. The University of Vienna has a long and successful tradition in contributing to space mission instrumentation and conducting space-based astrophysics. We seek a full professor with profound experience in astronomical space missions to lead internationally visible payload contributions and to carry out a related attractive scientific research program. We expect the professor to attract new space missions to the University of Vienna and represent Austria in the respective international mission consortia. Such space missions would in particular include new projects by the European Space Agency (ESA) for which multiple third-party funding channels are available. The professorship will profit from the well-established recognition by the national funding agency for the space program, close collaborations with other groups at the University of Vienna and the Institute for Space Research in Graz, and connections to Austrian industry.
