Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) – The Research University in the Helmholtz Association creates and imparts knowledge for the society and the environment. It is our goal to make significant contributions to mastering the global challenges of mankind in the fields of energy, mobility, and information. For this, more than 9.000 employees of KIT cooperate in a broad range of disciplines in research, academic education, and innovation.
The Division V – Physics and Mathematics, KIT Department of Physics offers for the earliest possible date a tenured
University Professorship (W3) “Applied Physics”
We seek a qualified experimental physicist, in particular in the field of quantum optics based on condensed-matter systems and related areas. Your research could include, for example, optical quantum technologies, photonics, optical spectroscopy, with materials such as two-dimensional semiconductors or molecular systems, and the realization of micro- and nano-photonic hybrid devices or integrated systems. KIT offers a range of coordinated research activities. Your participation in these activities is strongly encouraged.
You will be part of the board of directors of the Institute of Applied Physics and assume responsibilities in the academic self-administration. You are expected to take over university duties and cover a teaching load of 9 hours weekly during the semester, which includes teaching at all levels of the undergraduate and graduate curriculum (eventually in German) and to supervise bachelor, master and Ph.D. students. You have a Habilitation degree or possess equivalent scientific and teaching qualifications.
The terms of employment are listed in § 14 (2) KIT Gesetz in conjunction with § 47 Landeshochschulgesetz (LHG) of the State of Baden-Württemberg. An upper age limit for an appointment as civil servant for life follows from § 48 Landeshaushaltsordnung Baden-Württemberg.
As a family-friendly university, KIT offers part-time employment, leaves of absence, a dual-career service and coaching to support the work-life balance.
We prefer to balance the number of employees (f/m/d). Therefore we encourage female applicants to apply for this job.
Recognized severely disabled persons will be preferred if they are equally qualified.
Qualified candidates should submit the usual documents (including a curriculum vitae, a research plan, presentation of previous and planned teaching, and a list of publications) until October 31, 2023 using the vacancy number 2222/2023 to: Bereich V, Dekanat der KIT-Fakultät für Physik, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT), 76128 Karlsruhe, Germany, preferably by email as a single document in pdf-format, to dekanat@physik.kit.edu. For further information, please contact Prof. Dr. David Hunger, email: david.hunger@kit.edu.
