The University of Bonn is an international research university offering a broad range of subjects. With a 200\-year history, some 31,500 students, more than 6,000 employees and an outstanding reputation in Germany and abroad, the University of Bonn is one of the leading universities in Germany and has been awarded the status of a University of Excellence.

The newly established Hertz Chair in “Astrochemistry” within the Transdisciplinary Research Area Matter: Building Blocks of Matter and Fundamental Interactions (TRA 2\) is seeking a full\-time, permanent

Data Scientist

to start on October 1, 2026\.

Hertz Chair in “Astrochemistry”

The field of Astrochemistry is an interdisciplinary field at the interface of Astronomy, Physics, chemistry and Computer Science. Prof Viti's group is at the forefront of astrochemical modelling. We develop innovative methodologies to connect theory and observations. This led over the years to the development and maintenance of an open\-source suite of astrochemical and statistical/machine learning codes.

We seek an outstanding candidate who will take the lead on the application of computational methodologies for the group. This includes three core competencies: scientific software engineering, machine learning engineering and data science.
