The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Heidelberg University invites
applications for a
TENURE-TRACK PROFESSORSHIP
(W1 WITH TENURE TRACK TO W3) IN
EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS
Candidates are expected to develop a strong research program in low energy
precision measurements at the boundaries of particle physics and atomic
physics. Subject areas could be EDM or axion searches or tests of fundamental
symmetries, but are not limited to these. We particularly seek candidates
who are interested in small or medium scale experiments exploiting dedicated
technologies. The position aims to complement our efforts in the area of
precision tests of the Standard Model. It will be located at the Physikalisches
Institut and embedded in the active research environment in experimental
and theoretical particle physics and atomic physics, both at Heidelberg University
and the Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik (MPIK).
In accordance with Section 51 Landeshochschulgesetz Baden-Württemberg
(the Baden-Württemberg State Higher Education Act), this appointment requires
a completed university degree, an excellent doctorate, and pedagogical
aptitude, which has generally been proven through teaching experience. The
professorship is a qualification position and we are thus searching for a young
researcher with typically up to six years of experience.
The Tenure-track Professorship (salary grade W1) will initially be limited to
six years and, following a positive tenure evaluation, will be converted to a
permanent W3 professorship. Provided that the general legal (German civil
service law) and budgetary regulations are fulfilled, it is intended that the
successful candidate will have civil service status.
Further information on the Tenure-track program (e.g. the evaluation statute)
is available at the website of the Human Resource Division
www.uni-heidelberg.de/tenuretrack
This professorship is funded by the Tenure Track Programme of the German
Federal Government and the Federal States.
The University aims to increase the number of women in areas in which they
have been underrepresented in until now. Qualified female academics are
especially invited to apply. Preference will be given to disabled applicants who
are otherwise equally qualified for the position.
