University assistant predoctoral/ PhD Candidate

You will actively participate in research, teaching, and administration. This entails: • You conduct research at the interface between Quantum Information and Quantum Many-Body Physics, where the focus of your research will lie on problems at the interface of high-energy physics and quantum information and entanglement. • You continuously stay informed about the state of the art in your field. • You present your research plan to the faculty and complete a dissertation agreement within 12-18 months. This will be reviewed and adapted on an annual basis. • You work on your dissertation project and towards its timely completion. The focus of the dissertation project will be on the study of problems in high-energy physics, in particular quantum field theories and gauge theories, through the lens of quantum information and entanglement. • You contribute to teaching, such as lab courses or exercise classes, within the scope of the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement. • You contribute to the dissemination of your results through publications and conference presentations and engage in outreach activities aimed at the general public. • You take on administrative tasks in research, teaching, and administration.

• You must have completed your Master’s degree in physics with excellent grades, and with a focus on theoretical physics. In particular, you must have conducted a Master’s thesis in the field of theoretical physics. • You must possess proven expertise in performing theoretical research in the fields of theoretical high-energy physics and quantum field theory as well as theoretical quantum information, as proven through a successful Master’s and Bachelor’s Thesis, as well as through successful exams in relevant lecture courses. • You must have an excellent command of written and spoken English. • You should demonstrate didactic competence and a positive attitude towards interactions with students. • You are open towards participating in outreach activities. • You show social competence and the ability to work effectively in a team. • You are self-motivated, eager to grow, and capable of working independently. • You are looking forward to new tasks and are willing to participate actively in scientific discourse.
