:: Fixed-term Senior Research Associate/Lecturer (“Oberassistent:in”) Position (80-100%) in GIScience ::
 
The Geographic Information Visualization and Analysis (GIVA) group at the University of Zurich invites applications for a fixed-term Senior Research Associate/Lecturer position in Geographic Information Science. The position is housed in the UZH Geography Department and associated with its internationally reputed GIScience Center.
 
:: Your responsibilities ::
We seek a well-rounded and open-minded researcher who will contribute to the diversity of our team. The successful candidate will bring an innovative research agenda to complement existing research of the group and will be successful in obtaining external funding to leading an own research group. The new colleague will work effectively on interdisciplinary and collaborative projects, including graduate-student supervisory committees, and teach a variety of graduate seminars and undergraduate courses (i.e., introductory statistics) in the department’s GIScience curriculum. Ideally, the substantive domains of contribution within GIScience include geographic information visualization/geovisual analytics, spatial cognition, quantitative (empirical) research methods, or related areas. A proven, strong background in quantitative methods (e.g., [geo]statistics/data science, machine learning, etc.) would be an asset. While the teaching language in the Masters program is English, and some teaching at the undergraduate level may also be in English, working German language skills are desired. Support would be provided for acquiring such skills for non-German speakers.
 
:: Your profile ::
A completed PhD in Geography or a closely related discipline (e.g., Cognitive Science/Psychology, Computer/Data Science, etc.) is required. Applications to increase the diversity of our group are highly encouraged.
 
:: Place of work ::
University of Zurich, Department of Geography, Winterthurerstr. 190, 8057 Zurich, Switzerland.
 
:: Start of employment ::
The appointment will be initially made for 1 year (starting June 1st, 2023), with opportunity for multi-year extensions (potentially up to 9 years).
 
 
:: Further information ::
