Tasks include active participation in research and teaching in the fields of theoretical nuclear, particle, or astroparticle physics, in particular within the scope of the DFG Research Training Group "Strong and weak interactions - from hadrons to dark matter" as well as the BMBF focus area "Elementary particle physics with the CMS experiment and theoretical studies of processes at the LHC." The prerequisite for this appointment is a Ph.D. degree in theoretical physics.

The University of Münster is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to increasing the proportion of women in academics. Consequently, we actively encourage applications by women. Female candidates with equivalent qualifications and academic achievements will be preferentially considered within the framework of the legal possibilities. We also welcome applications from candidates with severe disabilities. Disabled candidates with equivalent qualifications will be preferentially considered, although some restrictions related to the access to the clean laboratories may apply.

Applications with the usual documents (letter of motivation, curriculum vitae, research statement, list of publications and talks, three separate letters of reference) should be addressed before December 31, 2016 to
