Now Hiring!
The Cluster of Excellence "Climate, Climatic Change, and Society" (CLICCS) investigates climate dynamics and climate-related social dynamics as well as the interactions between the two. To this end, we are looking for colleagues from a wide range of disciplines, including the natural sciences as well as the social sciences. We are proud to work together in a truly integrating manner.
In addition to job advertisements from the University of Hamburg, you will also find some from our CLICCS partners, e.g. Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, Helmholtz Centre Hereon, and German Climate Computing Centre. Together, we are all part of CLICCS. In 2026, there will be 28 doctoral positions and a further 28 postdoctoral positions to be filled. The first job posting is out, and we will be publishing more here gradually over the next few weeks:
