Full Professorship (W2) "Solid State Quantum Systems"

Technical University of Darmstadt

Darmstadt, Germany

Your tasks

We are recruiting a University Professor (W2) for Solid State Quantum Systems to strengthen ongoing research at the Institute of Condensed Matter Physics in the field of hybrid quantum systems, starting as soon as possible.

As a university professor at TU Darmstadt, you and your research group will conduct innovative research in a new specialised field, strengthening current research in hybrid quantum systems. As part of this, you will develop an internationally visible research programme that will raise the profile of our department and make a lasting contribution to the field.

In addition, your working group contributes to cooperative research programmes with the existing groups in the Institute of Condensed Matter Physics and establishes a thematic link to the activities in the groups of the Institute of Applied Physics.

The scientific focus of the position includes optical, electronic and spin excitations and their applications in new materials such as 2D materials, hybrid material systems, magnetic materials, quantum dots and optically active defects such as NV-centres, heterostructures and interfaces, as well as the use of modern spectroscopy and microscopy techniques.

Alongside excellent research, we expect innovative and engaging teaching in experimental physics. You will contribute at a high level to teaching at Bachelor's level across the full breadth of the curriculum.

Your profile

You are expected to have a doctorate of high academic quality and a habilitation or equivalent in experimental physics. Previous research should demonstrate international visibility through innovative publications, science communications and projects fostering knowledge transfer. We also expect the pedagogical and leadership skills of the candidate to meet current scientific standards, and for you to be willing to undergo further training.

You should be willing to actively acquire third-party funding and lead a diverse working group, and demonstrate a high level of commitment to international networking, for example through cooperation and participation in European research initiatives.

Being part of the Frankfurt Rhine-Main metropolitan region, Technical University of Darmstadt and its surroundings are characterized by living internationality. The core element of this is a cosmopolitan climate with functional multilingualism at our university. Therefore, very good English and, at the latest after three years, good German language skills are expected.
