Your main tasks

-------------------




We are looking for an internationally recognised researcher to strengthen and further develop the faculty's profile in the field of experimental physics. The successful candidate’s research activities should be in the field of magnetism and primarily serve to investigate magnetocaloric materials, permanent magnets and possibly molecule-based hybrid systems. Their research work should complement the faculty’s existing experimental investigations and potentially be linked to the theoretical descriptions it is developing of these magnetic materials. The future post holder will be required to play a central role in the Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio 270 ‘HoMMage: Hysteresis Design of Magnetic Materials for Efficient Energy Conversion’. The willingness to engage in interdisciplinary cooperation within the framework of other existing research programmes such as SFB 1242, SFB/TRR 247 and IRTG 2D-MATURE is expressly welcomed. The existing research infrastructure at UDE, such as CENIDE and ICAN, can also be utilised for this purpose.


We expect applicants to have published papers in leading peer-reviewed venues and have experience in conducting projects for which they have acquired external funding from competitive schemes themselves, preferably projects funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) or equivalent, as appropriate to the advertised position. A willingness to cooperate with other groups is required. The successful candidate will be expected to initiate future coordinated research projects at UDE.


The successful candidate should represent the field of physics in research and teaching and participate in the teaching activities of the faculty to the usual extent. The University of Duisburg-Essen places particular emphasis on teaching quality. Candidates must outline their didactic approach, also taking the profile of the University of Duisburg-Essen into consideration.


Desirable qualifications include leadership skills and diversity competence as well as experience in academic self-governance in line with the applicant’s academic career stage and the willingness to make a corresponding commitment to the University.

Your profile

----------------




Criteria for appointment are based on Section 36 of the Higher Education Act of North Rhine-Westphalia (Hochschulgesetz; HG). This act requires candidates to have a university degree and a particular aptitude for research work, as is generally demonstrated by outstanding results in doctoral studies in a relevant field. The successful candidate is also expected to have demonstrated further academic achievements as part of a junior professorship, a habilitation or a role as a research fellow at a higher education institution or at a non-university research institution or through research work in industry, administration or another public sector field in Germany or abroad.
