Job description:
The Faculty of Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz has an opening for a
Scientist
(Akademische Rätin / Akademischer Rat, Bes. Gr. A 13)
at the Institute of Physics to be filled by October 1st, 2017. The institute hosts a number of experimental and theoretical working groups; the position is assigned to Prof. Volker Büscher as part of the working group „Experimental Particle and Astroparticle Physics“.
The working group is strongly involved in a number of high energy physics experiments. This includes the ATLAS experiment and its upgrade for the high-luminosity phase of the LHC, the NA62 experiment measuring rare kaon decays, research and development towards a high-precision hadron calorimeter for future collider experiments within the CALICE collaboration, as well as the ShiP experiment exploring the dark sector. The group is part of the cluster of excellence PRISMA („Precision Physics, Fundamental Interactions and Structure of Matter“), dedicated to explore key questions of the fundamental constituents of matter and its cosmological implications.
The successful applicant is expected to take on a leading role in the research activities of the group, to engage in detector construction, operation and data analysis, to supervise postdocs and students, as well as to participate in teaching in the bachelor and master programs. The position offers opportunities to contribute to shaping the Mainz research program with the support of the cluster of excellence PRISMA. In addition it is possible to work towards obtaining the Habilitation.
In addition the position involves responsibilities in the area of IT infrastructure of the institute. This includes in particular the coordination of technical and scientific computing personnel, the continued development of the institute‘s IT concept as well as responsibilities for the structure and content management of the institute‘s web pages. Active participation in the academic and institute administration is expected.
Applicants should have a university and PhD degree in physics and good knowledge of german. Substantial research experience in experimental high energy particle physics in the areas of data analysis, electronics, detector development or detector operation as well as solid IT expertise are required.
Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz is aiming to increase the number of women among its scientific personnel and thus encourages women to apply.
Disabled applicants will be given preference if equally qualified.
Qualified candidates are asked to submit their application (including curriculum vitae, a brief summary of research experience and research interests, list of publications and at least two letters of recommendation) to:
Dr. Friedrich Kayser, Institut für Physik, 55099 Mainz or via email to kayser@uni-mainz.de
