Akademische (Ober-)Rätin/ Akademischer (Ober-)Rat (m/f/d), A 13/ 14 HBesG - in the Institute of Physics

Tasks:

Diverse and challenging tasks in research and teaching as well as of an administrative nature.

Establishment of an independent research group and self-directed, independent research in the field of Theoretical Atomic and Molecular Physics. The position holder is expected to actively participate in the SFB 1319 'Extreme Light for Analysis and Control of Molecular Chirality (ELCH)', which started on January 1, 2018, by investigating the photoelectron circular dichroism of chiral molecules in as direct collaboration as possible with the experimentally working groups of the SFB. Aspects of atomic and molecular spectroscopy in weak and strong fields will be investigated using modern methods of theoretical physics. Of particular importance are ab-initio descriptions of the electronic continuum spectrum in molecules with applications in angle-resolved electron and fluorescence spectroscopy. Above average publication activity is expected.

Provide teaching support to the Institute. Provide independent scientific services and commitment to the organization, preparation, and delivery of teaching to the extent of 8 semester hours per week. Teaching duties include the usual lecture, exercise, and examination activities in the bachelor's and master's degree programs in physics and in the degree programs in teaching physics and nanostructure science. Supervision of students and bachelor, master, exam and doctoral theses are expected.

Organizational tasks in the institute and department with special responsibility are to be performed. Participation in academic self-administration is taken for granted. Successful acquisition and handling of competitive third-party funded projects (e.g. DFG, BMBF). Membership in the scientific center CINSaT ("Center for Interdisciplinary Nanostructure Science and Technology") of the University of Kassel, in which faculty from physics, chemistry, biology and engineering sciences collaborate, is desired.

Prerequisites:

Completed PhD in Theoretical Physics and at least 6 years of postdoctoral experience following a habilitation in Theoretical Physics. Very good expertise in the theory of interaction of light with atoms, molecules and clusters. Proficiency in a broad range of methods, especially in descriptions of the electronic continuum spectrum in molecules with applications in angle-resolved electron and fluorescence spectroscopy. Excellent proven and internationally visible research experience and publication activity in the above research focus. Proven joint publications with experimentalists from SFB-1319. Independent projects in the SFB.

Proven experience in university teaching, especially independent lecture and examination activities, as well as supervision of bachelor, master, exam and PhD theses. In particular, the position holder should be able to prove that he/she has held courses on quantum mechanics and mathematical methods in physics.

Organizational skills, especially solicitation and management of externally funded projects. Leadership experience and experience in scientific supervision of students. Good knowledge of research structures and administrative processes. Willingness for interdisciplinary cooperation in the field of natural sciences.

In terms of equal opportunities, the University of Kassel strives to offer women and men the same development opportunities and to counteract existing disadvantages. The aim is to significantly increase the proportion of women in research and teaching. Qualified women are therefore expressly encouraged to apply. Severely disabled applicants will be given preference if they are equally qualified and qualified. Full-time positions are generally divisible. Please submit only copies of your application documents (no folders), as these cannot be returned after the selection process has been completed; they will be destroyed in compliance with data protection regulations. Applications with informative documents should be sent to the President of the University of Kassel, 34109 Kassel or bewerbungen[at]uni-kassel[dot]de, indicating the reference number in the subject line, and preferably also in electronic form.
