Universität des Saarlandes
Saarbrücken
Saarland University is a campus university with an international focus and a strong research profile characterized by the three main research areas ‘Computer Science’, ‘NanoBioMed’ and ‘Europe’. With numerous internationally respected research institutes situated in the vicinity of the university and dedicated support for start-up companies, Saarland University is an ideal environment for research, teaching and innovation. The proportion of international students studying at Saarland University is well above the national average and is testimony to the university’s strong international focus. Saarland University has been an officially certified family-friendly university since 2004.
One of the key fields of research at the Department of Physics is quantum technologies, particularly in the areas of quantum information processing, quantum communication and quantum sensing. The department maintains strong Interdisciplinary links to research groups in mathematics, computer science, systems engineering and chemistry.
The Department of Physics in the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology at Saarland University in Saarbrücken is inviting applications for the following position to commence on 1 October 2024:
W1 Junior Professorship (W3 tenure track position) in Experimental Physics with a focus on Quantum Technologies
(m/f/x; Reference no.: W2375)This position will initially be a fixed-term public sector position (Beamtenverhältnis auf Zeit) for a period of four years. The duration of the appointment may be extended up to a maximum of six years in total if this is supported by the results of the teaching appraisal and the external assessment of the appointee’s research work.

The successful candidate will conduct research in the field of controllable quantum systems. Possible experimental platforms include, among others, trapped-atom or trapped-ion systems, defects in solids such as colour centres in diamond, and semiconductor quantum dots. Your research work should focus on potential applications in the fields of quantum technologies such as quantum metrology/sensing , quantum communication or quantum computing/simulation. The research programme you propose should complement and strengthen existing research work being conducted in the Department of Physics. Close involvement in the Transregional Collaborative Research Centre SFB-TRR 306 QuCoLiMa 'Quantum Cooperativity of Light and Matter' and participation in the Jülich-Saarbrücken Graduate School 'Quantum Information and Computation' would be welcome. A core future task will be to develop research activity at the interface of physics and physics-adjacent disciplines such as mathematics, computer science, systems engineering and chemistry. The successful applicant will be involved in teaching the full range of courses and modules in experimental physics as well as contributing to the Bachelor's and Master's degree programme 'Quantum Engineering'.
The appointment will be made in accordance with the general provisions of German public sector employment law.
