Joint Professorship (m­­/­­f­­/­­div; W2) at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum and at GSI Darmstadt in experimental physics in the field of experimental exploration of hadrons

The future holder of the post will represent the subject in research and teaching. From the research perspective, the professorship is deeply embedded into the NRW excellence network NRW-FAIR. The applicant should demonstrate the ability to develop a productive and vigorous externally-funded research program in the field of experimental hadron physics as well as the enthusiasm and drive to teach and mentor both undergraduate and graduate students. The new professorship should strengthen and/or complement existing activities in the field of hadron physics with a focus on either developing cutting edge charged particle tracking detectors or on developing and applying Machine Learning methods to the operation and physics data analysis of hadronic/particle physics experiments. The successful candidate will mainly focus on the experiments at FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) GSI Darmstadt in Germany, such as CBM, HADES or PANDA. Modern detector technology is also used in the engineering sciences or medicine, and there are already existing alliances in Bochum in this regard. The successful candidate is also expected to contribute proactively to both Bachelor and Master level teaching, supervision of doctoral students and scientific staff mentoring. Teaching duties will concentrate on the experimental physics curriculum, with a teaching load of at least 2 SWS. Positive evaluation as a junior professor, habilitation or equivalent academic achievement are required. Established qualifications in research and teaching are required.
