Applications are invited for a W3 Professorship in

Computational Quantum Materials

at the Institute for Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics, Faculty of Physics and Astronomy, Julius Maximilians Universität Würzburg, Germany.

This is a permanent position. We expect applications from excellent and internationally renowned candidates who reinforce or complement the faculty’s research strength and the Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat in the field of “Computational Quantum Materials”. Possible research topics should focus on the theoretical description of complex quantum materials. Numerical methods such as ab-initio theory, methods of many-body physics, and machine learning can play an important role. We envision that the specific research area of the successful candidate enriches the faculty’s existing research program in terms of physics and methods. Furthermore, participation in the Würzburg-Dresden Center of Excellence "Complexity and Topology in Quantum Matter" and in the SFB 1170 is explicitly welcome. 

We ask the appointee (m/f/d) to lead, support and develop education and training within the field of Computational Quantum Materials engaging with undergraduate and graduate students. Applicants should have a track record of publishing in international peer-reviewed journals and demonstrated competence in defining research projects and attracting research funding.

The University of Würzburg is an equal opportunity and family-friendly employer. In order to increase the number of women in leading position, we specifically encourage female applicants.

Please submit your complete application documents per Email to berufungen@physik.uni-wuerzburg.de till 30.06.2022.
