Professorship in Astrophysics with a Focus on Large-Scale Structure Surveys (W3 tenure or W2 Tenure-Track to W3) Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn
The University of Bonn is an international research university with a wide education and research profile. With a 200-year history, approximately 31,500 students, more than 6,000 staff, and an excellent reputation at home and abroad, the University of Bonn is one of the most important universities in Germany and is recognized as a University of Excellence.
The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, in the department of Physics/Astronomy, invites applications for a
Professorship in Astrophysics with a Focus on Large-Scale Structure Surveys
(W3 tenure or W2 Tenure-Track to W3)
to be filled as soon as possible.
The professorship is intended to continue and strengthen the tradition of excellence in cosmology at the University of Bonn, with a focus on the large-scale structure (LSS) of the Universe and its connection to current and future surveys. Applications are welcome from theorists, phenomenologists, and observers working on cosmological LSS. Depending on qualifications and academic experience, the position will be filled either as a W3 professorship or as a W2 tenure-track professorship leading to W3.
The successful candidate is expected to play a key role in the scientific development of the Dynaverse Excellence Cluster, which initially funds the position, and to engage actively in interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly at the interface with computer science.
Teaching is an integral part of the professorship and covers all levels of the degree programmes. A high-quality teaching concept is expected. Knowledge of German is not required at the time of appointment; however, non-native speakers are expected to acquire sufficient German language skills within a reasonable time frame to fulfil undergraduate teaching duties and to participate fully in academic self-governance.
The recruitment requirements are based on § 36 HG (NRW).
Applications should include the following documents: a curriculum vitae; a list of publications (with up to five publications highlighted and their significance briefly explained); a description of previous research (maximum 2 pages); a detailed research plan (maximum 3 pages); a teaching concept (1 page); as well as an overview of courses taught and third-party funding acquired.
Applicants must clearly state in their application whether they are applying for the tenure-track or the tenured professorship. An application to both positions simultaneously is not permitted.
Please submit these documents by July 26, 2026 via the appointment portal of the University of Bonn: https://berufungsportal.uni-bonn.de
If you have any questions, please contact the front office of the physics and astronomy department at the University of Bonn (fachgruppe@physik-astro.uni-bonn.de).
