Saarland University is a campus university with an international focus and a strong research profile characterized
by the three main research areas 'Computer Science', 'NanoBioMed' and 'Europe'. With numerous internationally
respected research institutes situated in the vicinity of the university and dedicated support for start-up companies,
Saarland University is an ideal environment for research, teaching and innovation. The proportion of international
students studying at Saarland University is well above the national average and is testimony to the university's
strong international focus. Saarland University has been an officially certified family-friendly university since 2004.

One of the key fields of research at the Department of Physics is quantum technologies, particularly in the areas
of quantum information processing, quantum communication and quantum sensing. The department maintains
strong Interdisciplinary links to research groups in mathematics, computer science, systems engineering and
chemistry.

the Jülich-Saarbrücken Graduate School 'Quantum Information and Computation' would be welcome. A core
future task will be to develop research activity at the interface of physics and physics-adjacent disciplines such as
mathematics, computer science, systems engineering and chemistry. The successful applicant will be involved in
teaching the full range of courses and modules in experimental physics as well as contributing to the Bachelor's
and Master's degree programme 'Quantum Engineering'.

The appointment will be made in accordance with the general provisions of German public sector employment
