The Department of Physics at TU Dortmund University offers the
following position (starting at the earliest opportunity):
Professorship (W3) Quantum Materials
(Experimental Physics)
Our profile
Comprising 17 departments in the natural and engineering sciences as
well as the humanities and social sciences, TU Dortmund University is a
dynamic university with a strong profile in research, teaching,
promotion of young scientists and transfer.
The Department of Physics combines excellent research in the focus
areas of condensed matter physics, particle physics and medical
physics with a modern and future-oriented teaching concept. It
maintains national and international networks in both research and
teaching and is successful in attracting third-party funding.
Profile of the professorship
You represent the field of experimental condensed-matter physics with
a focus on the growth, preparation and investigation of quantum
materials with non-trivial magnetic and optical properties (for example:
magnetic topo-logical matter, two-dimensional materials with nontrivial
spin properties, quantum magnetic systems) and further develop
this field at a top international level. In doing so, you will participate in
research networks and coordinated research programs within and
outside TU Dortmund University and are committed to promoting early
career researchers.
The research in the Department of Physics at TU Dortmund University
has a strong focus on the development of advanced spectroscopic and
theoretical methods for the study of linear and nonlinear, equilibrium
and nonequilibrium dynamics in condensed matter. The appointment is
also intended to strengthen these activities by the design and
preparation of novel quantum materials with non-trivial magnetic and
optical properties. Great potential can be leveraged through
combination with the spectroscopic methods available in the
department. In addition, it is possible to get involved in the “Research
Center Future Energy Materials and Systems”, that was recently
established by the University Alliance Ruhr (see:
www.uaruhr.de/researchallianceruhr/futureenergymaterialsandsystems.html.en).
In teaching, you are responsible for the subject of experimental physics
and participate appropriately in the regular teaching activities of the
department.
Your qualifications
You have obtained a doctorate with above-average success and
acquired a post-doctoral lecture qualification (Habilitation) or an
equivalent qualification. You have demonstrated your research
excellence in the field covered by the professorship through continuous
national and international publications in internationally recognized
journals, including those with peer-review, especially in the last years.
Furthermore you have been successful in obtaining competitively
awarded third-party funding. Additionally, you have the potential for
excellent teaching and are willing to teach on the Bachelor level in
German in the medium term. Social and leadership skills and the
willingness to participate in academic self-governance will complete
your profile. Moreover, the recruitment requirements in Sections 36
and 37 of the North Rhine-Westphalia Higher Education Act (
Gesetz
über die Hochschulen des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen, HG) apply.
Attractive environment
We offer an excellent academic environment
and attractive cooperation opportunities with
renowned international, national, and regional
partners. The metropolitan Ruhr Area with the
University Alliance Ruhr (UA Ruhr) guarantees
short distances to a diversity of partners from
science and industry. With our Dual Career
Service, we accompany your partner in the
professional orientation in the region if
desired. We will be happy to provide information
about housing and living in Dortmund
and help you find childcare options. If you are
coming to us from abroad, our Welcome
Service will support you upon your arrival in
Germany.
Diversity welcome
A central goal of TU Dortmund University is to
promote diversity and equal opportunities. We
strive to significantly increase the percentage
of women in research and teaching and
therefore welcome applications from female
academics. We support the compatibility of
family and career and promote gender
equality in academia and research. Related
career breaks will be taken in consideration.
We give preference to severely disabled
applicants if their qualifications meet the
requirements.
