Junior Research Group Leader as postdoctoral researcher or academic councillor (f/m/d, Nr. 310-26)

We are a young, innovative university located in the heart of the Ruhr metropolis. We pride ourselves in outstanding research and teaching, think in terms of opportunities rather than limitations and develop ideas with a view to the future. Diversity is an integral part of our culture as we promote potential and are committed to upholding genuine equity in education. The University of Duisburg-Essen, Faculty of Physics at the Campus Duisburg, invites applications for the position as a Junior Research Group Leader as postdoctoral researcher or academic councillor (f/m/d, No 310-26) TV-L 13 (large 59.324 € - 84.319 €) or A13 In Prof. Heiko Wende's research group, we investigate magnetic hybrid systems. Our focus is on both fundamental magnetic interactions and applications for efficient energy conversion. We use element-specific methods such as X-ray absorption spectroscopy at synchrotron radiation sources and free-electron lasers. A wide variety of magnetic material systems are studied, search as magnetocaloric materials, permanent magnets, catalysts, magnetic nanoparticles, and molecular spin switches.

You will carry out research tasks in Prof. Wende's working group, especially in the field of element-specific investigation of functional magnetic materials at large research facilities. In addition, you will be involved in the implementation and execution of courses and administrative tasks.
