The Institute of Solid State Physics seeks to fill the position of a

Scientific Employee (m/f/d) for Ion Beam Physics

We offer an unlimited, full-time position (40 hours per week).

The respective group uses ion beams in a variety of ways to manipulate or analyse the properties of solids. We also investigate the basic mechanisms in the interaction of energetic ions with materials, and in the scientific environment of the city of Jena we concentrate on the optical properties of irradiated solids. Together with this team, you ensure the scientific coordination of the accelerator facilities and significantly support coordinated projects of the group, such as in the IRTG 2675 "Tailored metasurfaces" or in the SFB 1375 "Non-linear optics down to atomic scales".

Your responsibilities:

Scientific coordination of the ion accelerators ROMEO and JULIA
Supervision of Bachelor-, Master- and PhD-students
Support in acquiring projects and in teaching (8 SWS)
Management of the lab course in nuclear physics
Organization of radiation safety and protection
Work on an own scientific qualification project - e.g. “Habilitation”

Your profile:

University degree (master’s degree) with focus on Physics
Doctoral degree
Knowledge in ion beam physics
Very good skills in English and sufficient good skills in German
Ideally, you have experience with optical materials and knowledge on radiation protection

We offer:

Remuneration based on the provisions of the Collective Agreement for the Public Sector of the Federal States (TV-L) at salary scale TVL-E13 — depending on the candidate’s personal quali¬ficat-ions—, including a special annual payment in accordance with the collective agreement.
