Professorship in Experimental Atomic Physics
(Full Professor, Bes.Gr. W3 BBesG)

We seek an expert in the field of atomic physics with international reputation and an outstanding record of experimental accomplishments in high-precision tests of fundamental interactions and symmetries.

The new professorship is established by the recently founded Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM), a cooperation of the Johannes Gutenberg-University o Mainz with the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt.

The successful candidate is expected

• to teach the subject area of experimental physics in its entire scope,
• to head the research division "Symmetry of Matter and Anti-Matter" at HIM and to promote the scientific program of this section, and
• to take a leading role in activities promoting scientific excellence at the University of Mainz and in planning and implementing atomic physics experiments to be conducted at the future "Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research" (FAIR) at the GSI in Darmstadt for tests of fundamental interactions and symmetries.

Applicants must have a PhD in physics and a proven first-rate research record Moreover, the formal regulations set out in § 49 Hochschulgesetz Rheinland-Pfalz must be fulfilled.

The State of Rhineland-Palatinate and the Johannes Gutenberg-University o Mainz promote the concept of intensive tutoring and thus requests a high leve of presence at the University.
