Position Description

The Faculty of Physics at the University of Vienna invites applications for a 

Tenure-Track Professorship in Theoretical Gravitational Physics 

We are seeking an outstanding researcher who advances the fundamental understanding of gravity through analytically rigorous, conceptually driven, or high-precision computational approaches. Expertise and research profiles are welcome in one or more areas of theoretical gravitational physics, with particular emphasis on exact and nonlinear general relativity, geometric and mathematical analysis of the Einstein equations, analytical and numerical approaches to strong-field dynamics, relativistic and mathematical cosmology, relativistic matter dynamics in curved spacetime, nonlinear waves, and the analytical and theoretical foundations of gravitational-wave physics.

The Tenure Track professorship will be affiliated with the Faculty of Physics at the University of Vienna and integrated into the Gravitational Physics group (https://gravity.univie.ac.at/), an active research unit engaged in fundamental theoretical questions of gravitation. The group includes faculty members, postdoctoral researchers, and doctoral students working on analytical and conceptual aspects of gravitational physics.

The position is embedded in a broad research environment at the Faculty of Physics, which hosts a variety of theoretical research activities and fosters interdisciplinary exchange. The faculty provides access to seminars, international collaborations, and structured doctoral training.

Overall, the research environment offers strong support for the development of an independent research profile, the acquisition of third-party funding, and the supervision of early-career researchers.
