Head of Department – CBM (all genders) in Darmstadt, Hessen
Die GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung sucht zum 22. August 2025 eine führende Wissenschaftspersönlichkeit für die Position des Head of Department – CBM. Das Zentrum betreibt einen der fortschrittlichsten Teilchenbeschleuniger weltweit und ist federführend im Bau der FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research), einem der größten internationalen Forschungsprojekte. In diesem Kontext hat die CBM-Experiment (Compressed Baryonic Matter) eine Schlüsselstellung und zielt darauf ab, die Eigenschaften von stark wechselwirkender Materie unter extremen Bedingungen zu untersuchen.
In der CBM-Abteilung arbeiten aktuell etwa 20 Wissenschaftler, Ingenieure und Techniker, die an der Entwicklung und dem Betrieb essenzieller Detektoren wie dem Silicon Tracking System (STS) sowie an der Software für die Experimentsteuerung tätig sind. Der zukünftige Leiter oder die zukünftige Leiterin wird für die wissenschaftliche und strategische Führung der Abteilung verantwortlich sein. Dies umfasst die Koordination der Aktivitäten innerhalb des Host-Labors und die Vertretung der Abteilung in kommissionellen Gremien und Fördergesprächen.
Die Anforderungen an die Bewerber sind hoch: Eine Promotion in experimenteller Physik, vorzugsweise mit dem Schwerpunkt auf Kern- oder Teilchenphysik, ist unerlässlich. Zudem sind Erfahrung im Projektmanagement in komplexen, internationalen Forschungsumgebungen sowie Kenntnisse im Bereich Detektortechnologien und Datenanalysen gefragt. Ein nachgewiesenes Talent in der Teamführung und die Fähigkeit, dritte Mittel zu akquirieren, runden das Profil ab.
GSI bietet eine Position mit langfristiger Perspektive, Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten und die Aussicht auf eine gemeinsame Professur an einer regionalen Partneruniversität. Ermutigt sind insbesondere Frauen und Menschen mit Behinderungen, sich zu bewerben. Bewerbungen sind bis zum 30. September 2025 einzureichen.
