The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Department of
Physics and the Max-Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short
Pulse Spectroscopy (MBI) invite applications for a
W3-S-Professorship in “Experimental Physics” with
Emphasis on Ultrafast Phenomena that will result in the
joint appointment of a Director at the Max Born Institute
from October 1st 2022.
MBI is part of the Forschungsverbund Berlin e. V. (FVB) and is a member of
the Leibniz Association. MBI conducts basic research in the field of nonlinear
optics and ultrafast dynamics in the interaction of light with matter and
pursues applications that emerge from this research.
The new appointee will be a member of the Board of Directors of the MBI
and will assume the scientific leadership over division C of the institute.
The candidate is expected to pursue research in a frontier area of modern
physics with ultrafast lasers. Possible themes include, but are not limited
to, the interaction of matter with ultrashort laser pulses, the physics of high
average power lasers and their applications, ultrafast nanophotonics, and
time-resolved structure research based on the use of ultrashort electron
and/or x-ray pulses, complementing continuing research activities at the
MBI. A more detailed description of the responsibilities of a MBI Director
is given in the statutes of the institute, and will be made available upon
request. The new appointee will contribute to the teaching in Physics
(2 SWS) at the Humboldt University Berlin (HU Berlin).
The applicants must meet the legal requirements for professorial appointments
in accordance with § 100 of the Berliner Hochschulgesetz.
Additional requirements:
- an internationally leading role in the area of experimental
physics with lasers
- experience in the supervision of research groups
- management of scientific projects and the acquisition
of third party funding
- experience in national and international collaborations
Expectations: commitment to cooperate with national and international
partners in the framework of, e.g., „Sonderforschungsbereiche“ and
research networks; strong motivation for contributing to the teaching in
physics at the HU Berlin.
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and MBI aim to increase the proportion
of women in research and teaching and strongly encourage qualified
female scientists to apply. They are family-friendly institutions and information
about the family situation of applicants is therefore welcome. Researchers
from abroad are welcome to apply. Disabled persons will be given preferential
consideration in case of equal qualification. People with a migration
background are specifically encouraged to apply.
Please send your application until October 7th, 2021 and quoting the
reference number PR/010/21 to: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Dean
of Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Prof. Kulke, Unter den
Linden 6, 10099 Berlin, Germany (Your application must include a curriculum
vitae, copies of certificates and documents, a detailed description
of your teaching experience and current and future research projects and
a list of publications with up to 5 selected reprints of more recent works).
To speed up the process, applicants are requested to submit their application
electronically at https://www2.mathnat.hu-berlin.de/ExperUltra in pdfformat,
in addition to their application on paper. Since we will not return your
documents, please submit copies in the application only.
