Research Associate for the Project “Cluster of Excellence Quantum Universe” Gravitational Wave Detection with Superconducting Radio-Frequency Cavities - 28 Abs. 3 HmbHG
- InstitutionFaculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences, Department of Physics, Cluster of Excellence “Quantum Universe”
Salary levelEGR. 13 TV-L
Start date01.07.2023 or later, fixed until 30.06.2026 (This is a fixed-term contract in accordance with Section 2 of the academic fixed-term labor contract act [Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz, WissZeitVG]).
Application deadline17.05.2023
Scope of workpart-time
Weekly hours66,67 % of standard work hours per weekThe Cluster of Excellence “Quantum Universe” performs research to understand mass and gravity at the interface between quantum physics and cosmology. The research team includes leading scientists from mathematics, particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology at Universität Hamburg and DESY.

**Responsibilities**:
Duties include academic services in the project named above. Research associates may also pursue independent research and further academic qualifications.

Specific Duties

You will participate in a novel research project which aims to detect gravitational waves with superconducting radio-frequency cavities. You will participate in the preparation of testing a prototype superconducting RF cavity and learn to perform the test and the subsequent analysis on your own. It is also a main focus of this work to both adapt the theoretical framework to the state of the art as well as develop new theoretical approaches in order to describe the interactions of the gravitational waves with high precision in such a superconducting RF cavity environment. The test results of the prototype and the theoretical development will be used to design a new, improved superconducting RF cavity for a frequency range of interest.

Doctoral research associates will become members of the Quantum Universe Research School (QURS), which provides academic and soft skills training, as well as career planning support. In addition, they will receive individual budgets to facilitate the attendance of summer schools and conferences, and to support other educational measures. Additional travel money for project-specific duties will be provided by the hosting research groups. Doctoral research associates may participate in teaching at the University and in the organization of the Cluster via an early career council.

**Requirements**:
A university degree in a relevant field.

Interest in performing a cavity measurements in a cryogenic environment.

Fundamental theoretical knowledge on general relativity as well as quantum field theory is desirable.

Good writing and communication skills and the ability to work in an international team with English as a working language. If applicable, please list further requirements here.

We offer
- Reliable remuneration based on wage agreements
- Continuing education opportunities
- University pensions
- Attractive location
- Flexible working hours
- Work-life balance opportunities
- Health management
- Educational leave
- 30 days of vacation per annum
