Within this scope, the newly founded junior research group „Mathematical Physics of Com-plex Quantum Systems“ in the Institute of Mathematics (Faculty of Computer Science, Elec-trical Engineering and Mathematics) invites applications for the following fixed-term position, which will start at the earliest opportunity:

Research Assistant (f/m/d) (salary is according to E13 TV-L) with 75% of the regular working hours.

This is a qualification position in the sense of the Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz (WissZeitVG), which serves to support a doctoral procedure in the field of mathematical physics. The position is limited for the duration of the PhD procedure, depending on the qualification achieved so far, but usually for a period of 3 years. An extension to finish the PhD is possible in accordance with the rules of the WissZeitVG.

Duties: • Research on the mathematically rigorous description of quantum dynamics, quantum field theory or related models from physics

• Active collaboration on publications and other projects of the research group

• Teaching on the order of 3 hours per week

Hiring requirement: • Scientific degree (master/diploma) in mathematics or physics

• Knowledge in a research area of the research group or related topics is desirable, but not required. This includes

o mathematical methods of quantum theories, such as spectral theory of selfadjoint operators, stochastic processes and Feynman-Kac formulas

o models of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, such as spin boson, Nelson or polaron models, non-relativistic and relativistic quantum electrodynamics, many particle systems

Since Paderborn University seeks to increase the number of female scientists, applications of women are especially welcome. In case of equal qualification and scientific achievements, they will receive preferential treatment according to the North Rhine-Westphalian Equal Opportuni-ties Policy (LGG), unless there are cogent reasons to give preference to another applicant. Likewise, applications of disabled people with appropriate qualification are explicitly requested. This also applies to people with equal status according to the German social law SGB IX.

Please send your application including the usual documents (letter of motivation, CV, certifi-cates; as a single pdf file) using the reference number 5825 by April 30th 2023 to: benjamin.hinrichs@math.uni-paderborn.de.
