W2 (Tenure Track W3) professorship for experimental physics, spectroscopy of atoms and molecules by laser methods (m/f/d)

to be filled as soon as possible.

Physics research at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum covers a broad range of topics including atomic and molecular physics in the gas phase, at interfaces and especially in plasmas. Existing research collaborations of the faculty in this thematic area include CRC 1316 "Transient Atmospheric Plasmas - From Plasmas to Liquids to Solids" (since 2018) as well as CRC 1491 "Cosmic Interacting Matters - From Source to Signal" (since 2022).

An excellent researcher is sought to strengthen and expand the activities of Bochum's physics in the field of atomic and molecular physics with a focus on laser methods in research and teaching. A possible research focus is the experimental investigation of the excitation of atoms and molecules in non-equilibrium systems such as plasmas. The incumbent is expected to be actively involved in the above-mentioned faculty research collaborations.

Teaching is to be provided in experimental physics as part of the compulsory and elective courses of all programs offered by the faculty, as well as in teaching export. An involvement in the course "Medical Physics" is welcomed.

A positively evaluated junior professorship, habilitation or equivalent scientific achievements as well as proof of special suitability for academic teaching are required, as well as the willingness to participate in academic self-administration.
