The new professor is expected to pursue vigorous research and to contribute to teaching at both undergraduate (English or German) and graduate (English) level. She or he will find a very stimulating environment including major experimental activities in particle and astroparticle physics.

It is anticipated that the position will be filled at the Assistant Professor (tenure track) level, however exceptional candidates at any level will be considered.

Candidates are invited to submit by May 31, 2012 an application package including curriculum vitae, publication list, outline of current and future research interests, teaching philosophy and names and addresses of three potential referees. Documents should be addressed to Prof. Dr. Michael Hengartner, Dean of the Faculty of Science, University of Zurich, and submitted as a single PDF file at http://www.mnf.uzh.ch/tp. For further information, please contact Prof. Dr. Thomas Gehrmann at thomas.gehrmann@uzh.ch.
