Chair (W2) of Low-Temperature Physics of Topological Quantum Materials and Devices Dresden University of Technology

At the Faculty of Physics, the Institute of Solid State and Materials Physics invites applications for the Cluster of Excellence Complexity, Topology and Dynamics in Quantum Matter (ctd.qmat) for the

Chair (W2) of Low-Temperature Physics of Topological Quantum Materials and Devices

is to be filled at the earliest possible date
Key Duties and Academic Responsibilities: The chair will comprehensively represent the field of “Experimental Condensed Matter Physics’’ in research and teaching. The research should focus on the field of low-temperature physics of novel topological and correlated materials either as bulk systems or functional devices. The latter could be in form of thin films, hybrid or hetero-structures, lateral nanostructures/-membranes, 2D materials, or cavity quantum materials. The chair is embedded into the Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat, in which phenomena, materials, and applications of topological physics are studied. It will actively contribute to strengthening this modern research area with a long-term perspective, e.g. via the investigation of bulk materials at low temperatures and in high magnetic fields by means of transport measurements or local probes, or the development, design and characterization of quantum- or topological devices. In addition to active research within ctd.qmat, the participation in other collaborative research activities is explicitly desired. The chair is also actively involved in teaching duties at the Faculty of Physics and in academic selfadministration.
Requirements & Candidate Profile: We are looking for a personality (m/f/x) with proven expertise in the field of low-temperature physics of novel topological and correlated materials, including their investigation as bulk materials or their application in functional components. We expect you to be familiar with acquiring third-party funding and to be experienced in project and group management. We place special emphasis on top-class publications, strong international contacts, as well as independently acquired and ideally successfully conducted research projects. We explicitly also encourage applications with excellent research programs from early career researchers that just started an independent group or project lead. You inspire our students with your high level of motivation and have proven teaching skills, demonstrated by extensive experience in independently conducting bilingual courses (German and English). Your participation in academic self-administration is a given. Your independent, reflective way of working, strategic thinking, sense of responsibility, and motivational leadership of interdisciplinary, diverse teams round off your profile. Immediate proficiency in German is not a prerequisite, but we expect you to acquire sufficient language skills within a reasonable period of time to conduct teaching and administrative tasks in German. To be eligible for the position, you need to have a doctorate in physics or a related discipline as well as a habilitation or habilitation-equivalent achievements in research and teaching.In all other respects, the requirements for appointment, official duties and administrative status are governed by §§ 59, 69, 71 of the Act on Higher Education Institutions in the Free State of Saxony (SächsHSG) and the Regulations on Duties and Responsibilities of Institutes of Higher Education (HSDAVO).
