Professor / Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of …, Zürich (Kreis 11)

The Department of Physics () at ETH Zurich invites applications for the above-mentioned position. The professorship should build expertise in studying fundamental properties of condensed matter systems originating from electronic correlations or nontrivial topology. In contrast to more traditional approaches to investigating strongly correlated materials, the new professorship will explore original avenues for controlling or enhancing functionality. They will employ or develop novel techniques that combine spectroscopy and transport measurements to study novel condensed matter phenomena.The successful candidate must have an outstanding research background in experimental condensed matter physics. They possess an in-depth understanding of emerging electronic and quantum properties. Research experience in a range of condensed matter platforms, such as quantum, topological or two-dimensional materials, is considered an asset.The new professor is expected to establish and lead a competitive research team within the interactive and interdisciplinary research environment at ETH Zurich. She or he is expected to synergize with the theoretical and experimental expertise at ETH Zurich to increase translational drive from fundamental research to applications.Additional prerequisites include a strong motivation and commitment to teaching in the area of condensed matter physics, quantum mechanics, with contributions to undergraduate (in German or English) as well as graduate level (in English) courses for the Physics and other departments. Examples of specific courses include introduction to solid state physics and advanced solid-state physics.Assistant professorships have been established to promote the careers of younger scientists. ETH Zurich implements a tenure track system equivalent to that of other top international universities. ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity employer, values diversity, and is responsive to the needs of dual-career couples.
