We are looking for an internationally recognized expert in the field of tritium technology and tritium research. The successful candidate will work on the application and further development of tritium techno­logies in both basic and applied research – ranging from particle and astro­particle physics (e.g., for neutrino mass experiments), to spectro­scopy, and fusion research – and will explore new fields of application. The position holder will lead the Tritium Laboratory Karlsruhe (TLK) at KIT, which has more than 40 employees, and this will involve taking responsibility for the safety area as well as requiring experience in handling tritium.

KIT offers an excellent inter­disci­plinary environ­ment at the interface between natural and engineering sciences. The TLK is a unique facility on an inter­national scale. It supports and is essential for numerous projects in particle and astro­particle physics at KIT, particularly for the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino Experiment (KATRIN). The Tritium Laboratory is also indispensable for KIT's fusion research. You will colla­borate closely with colleagues at the KIT Center for Elementary and Astroparticle Physics (KCETA) as well as the Graduate School KSETA, and have ample opportunities to build connections.

You will undertake large-scale research responsibilities with a teaching commitment of 2 hours per week and participate in academic self-governance.

Employment is subject to Art. 14, par. (2) of the KIT Act in conjunction with Art. 47 LHG Baden-Württemberg (Act of Baden-Württemberg on Universities and Colleges). A completed doctorate in physics or a related disci­pline, inter­natio­nally recognized scien­tific achieve­ments of the highest standard, and demon­strated teaching suitability are required for the position.

Please submit your application with the relevant documents (i.e., cover letter, curriculum vitae, research plan, documentation of previous teaching activities and teaching concept, concept for equality and diversity, an overview of previous third-party funding acquisition, and a list of publications), preferably as a single PDF file, to Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Division V, KIT Faculty of Physic Mrs. Jana Kehrer, email: dekanat@physik.kit.edu. by January 31st, 2025.
