POSITIONS
Open positions within ML4Q are listed here (this page is updated regularly). Since most research group within ML4Q hire PhDs and post-docs individually, it might be advisable for potential candidates to contact suitable ML4Q members directly. Please note that there are no cluster-wide application deadlines for positions within ML4Q.
Research Assistant/Associate @ RWTH - Teaching Coordinator and Lecturer for Quantum Technologies (f/m/d)
Our Profile
The department of Physics of the RWTH Aachen University comprises twelve research institutes, which are at the forefront of research in several areas of Physics – ranging from high-energy particle physics to statistical physics, from novel materials to quantum technologies. The Department of Physics benefits also from the tight collaboration with the nearby Forschungszentrum Jülich as part of the Jülich-Aachen Research Alliance (JARA). An example of this collaboration is the JARA Institute for Quantum Information, which pursues a variety of topics in practical and fundamental quantum information science.
The department aims at further strengthening its profile as place-to-be for quantum information technologies. An important measure for this has been the recent creation of a new study track specifically dedicated to “Quantum Technologies” for the Master Program in Physics that aims at attracting both physics and electrical-engineering students. In addition, the RWTH Aachen University is one of the leading members in the project ‘DigiQ: Digitally Enhanced European Quantum Technology Master’ that spearheads a transformation of the educational quantum ecosystem by introducing both a series of didactical innovations as well as a multinational program structure within a network of over 20 universities and 100 industrial partners.
Your Profile
- A PhD degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering or related areas (preferably in a field close to quantum technologies) as well as a university degree (master’s or equivalent)
- A strong interest in quantum technologies and teaching
- Familiarity with quantum mechanics at a sufficient level to instruct master students in physics
- Resourcefulness and good interpersonal-skills
- Fluency in English is required; proficiency in German is helpful but not compulsory
- Didactic experience and familiarity with digital learning platforms is beneficial but not necessary
Your Duties and Responsibilities
- Contentual implementation of the project DigiQ at RWTH Aachen University in close collaboration with local lecturers, experts from the Forschungszentrum Jülich, and international members of the DigiQ consortium
- Integration of digital learning modules into courses of the ‘Quantum Technologies’ master track
- Teaching of lectures and exercise classes for the ‘Quantum Technologies’ master track
- Development and organization of DigiQ-Network activities, e.g. seminars or hackathons
- Contribution to didactic evaluation of digital learning methods
- Engagement in additional local research activities in quantum technology
- Provision of guidance and academic support to the ‘Quantum Technologies’ master’s students
- Coordination of various courses of the ‘Quantum Technologies’ master track and of hybrid DigiQ-Courses offered by RWTH Aachen/partner universities
- Selection of the international scholarship applicants
- Opportunity to propose, develop and teach a new course or new course elements in the ‘Quantum Technologies’ master track largely independently
What We Offer
The successful candidate will be employed under a regular employment contract.
The position is to be filled at the earliest possible date and offered for a fixed term of 4 years.
The fixed-term employment is possible as it constitutes one of the fixed-term options of the Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz (German Act on Fixed-term Scientific Contracts).
This is a full-time position with the possibility of a part-time contract upon request.
The salary is based on the German public service salary scale (TV-L).
The position corresponds to a pay grade of EG 14 TV-L.
