Job description:
The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Department of Mathematics and Department of Physics, invite applications for a Full Professorship for ‘Mathematical Physics: Mathematical Aspects of Quantum Field and String Theory‘ (W2) from as soon as possible and limited for 5 years.
This is a tenure track position. In order to verify whether the individual performance meets the requirements of a permanent employment, an evaluation process will be opened not later than four years of service. The professorship will be funded by the „Bund-Länder-Programm zur Förderung des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses“. The aim of the programme is to pave the way for a secure career in academia for early stage researchers. Tenure track professors at the HU Berlin are expected to carry out research and teach, as well as be active on various university committees and acquire leadership and management skills. The concrete requirements out of the framework catalogue [https://hu.berlin/tenuretrack_katalog] will be specified in the course of the appointment process.
The Institute of Physics at Humboldt University is heavily engaged in theoretical particle physics. The research interests of the working groups in the field of theoretical particle physics range from quantum field theory and mathematical physics, through the phenomenology of elementary particles to lattice field theory. The Institute of Mathematics pursues with its working groups e.g. in algebraic and arithmetic geometry, differential geometry and global analysis manifold common questions with theoretical and mathematical physics.
There is intensive cooperation between the institutes through two jointly appointed professorships, which should be strengthened by this occupation. We are looking for a researcher with interests in geometry, algebra, quantum field theory, cosmology and/or gravitational physics. The new professor will work on the interface between pure mathematics and theoretical physics on mathematical structures, as they arise from questions of quantum field theory, integrable systems, cosmology and superstring theory. Here, connections to algebraic, symplectic, or differential geometry are explicitly desired.
The person to be appointed should enjoy international recognition in mathematical physics commensurate with experience. The new professor is expected to act as a bridge between mathematics and physics, to be involved in teaching mathematical physics at all levels at the HU Berlin, and to have the profile to attract external funding for a creative research program, as well as to participate in existing or future research networks.
Fluency in German is not required at the start, but the candidate will be expected to teach in German after a reasonable period.
The applicants must meet the legal requirements for professorial appointments in accordance with § 102 c combined with § 100 of the ‘Berliner Hochschulgesetz’. HU is seeking to increase the proportion of women in research and teaching, and specifically encourages qualified female scholars to apply. Researchers from abroad are welcome to apply. Severely disabled applicants with equivalent qualifications will be given preferential consideration. People with an immigration background are specifically encouraged to apply.
Please send your application (including CV, transcripts of grades, diploma, summary of teaching experience as well as past and future research interests, publication list highlighting up to five selected publications latest by December 31st, 2018, and quoting the reference number PR/035/18 to:
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
Dean of Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences
Prof. Kulke
Unter den Linden 6
10099 Berlin, Germany
To speed up the process, applicants are requested to submit their application electronically at https://www2.mathnat.hu-berlin.de/mathphys in addition to their application on paper. Since we will not return your documents, please submit copies in the application only.
