Beschreibung

The Institute of Physics at the Department of Sciences and Mathematics is a research-oriented institute currently coordinating a collaborative research center of the DFG and a LOEWE priority project of the state of Hesse, and contributing to a DFG interdisciplinary graduate school.

Additionally, members of the institute successfully proposed a multitude of grants of DFG, BMBF, and the Volkswagen foundation.

For further strengthening research activities on magnetic thin films a PostDoc position as soon as possible is available in the research group "Functional thin films and physics with synchrotron radiation (Experimental Physics IV)":
