Applications are invited for a full professorship in
Fundamental Astronomy/Space Geodesy
including the Directorate of the Astronomical Institute,

opening August, 1, 2011, at the Astronomical Institute, University of 
Bern, Switzerland (http://www.aiub.unibe.ch). Candidates should have a 
strong research record in fundamental astronomy, e.g., space geodesy and 
astrodynamics in the broadest sense. Current research activities of the 
institute include space geodesy using GNSS and satellite laser ranging, 
gravity field determination and optical surveys for natural and 
artificial bodies in the solar system. Future research might be extended 
towards the study of the orbital and rotational motion of planets 
including their natural and artificial satellites, and to other 
planetary system bodies such as asteroids, and comets. The institute 
develops and operates the Zimmerwald Observatory. The successful 
candidate is expected to direct the institute's research activities, to 
attract external funding, and to actively participate in the teaching 
and supervision of Bachelor and Master students, as well as Ph.D. students.

The University of Bern particularly encourages women to apply for this 
position.

Applications including a curriculum vitae, a publication list, copies of 
the five most important publications, a brief outline of past and future 
research, and a list of external funds raised, should be sent either as 
a hard copy to Prof. S. Decurtins, Dean of the Faculty of Science, 
University of Bern, Sidlerstrasse 5. CH-3012 Bern, Switzerland, or as a 
single PDF-file via e-mail to: dekan at natdek.unibe.ch, by 31 January 2011.
