Professorship in Experimental Physics at Hamburg University

The Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences at Hamburg University, Germany, invites applications for a PROFESSORSHIP (W3) for Experimental Physics commencing as soon as possible.

The Cluster of Excellence Quantum Universe is one of four clusters of excellence at Universität Hamburg. The cluster aims to research the relationship between the fundamental properties of elementary particles and the evolution of the universe, particularly the connection between mass and gravity at the interface between quantum physics and cosmology. Research areas include Higgs physics, dark matter, gravitational waves, and mathematical physics. The faculty is seeking a candidate with an outstanding research background who will strengthen the Cluster of Excellence Quantum Universe and thematically shape its future profile.

Research topics of particular interest are the development of innovative laboratory experiments for precision tests of the standard model, the search for physics models beyond the standard model, in particular as an explanation for dark matter, and gravitational wave detection.
