Duties: KIT; The Research University in the Helmholtz Association; combines university tradition with program-oriented research. In 2009, the Technical University of Karlsruhe and Karlsruhe Research Center merged to KIT. The framework conditions presently offered to KIT researchers are accordingly unique in the German science system. Nowhere else can researchers use the infrastructure of a large-scale research center and collaborate at a university of excellence across the disciplines of natural sciences, engineering, economics, the humanities and social sciences. Research at KIT is aimed at creating new findings, applications, and solutions to master the global challenges facing humankind with pathbreaking contributions; in particular in the areas of energy, mobility, and information. The only German university of excellence with a national large-scale research sector offers unique education and training options for students and early-stage researchers

Duties: The Tenure-track-professorship is embedded in the research and teaching activities of the Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITP), the KIT Center for Elementary Particle and Astroparticle Physics (KCETA), and the Department of Physics. The Tenure-track-professorship should focus on theoretical cosmology, broadly defined: early universe cosmology, general relativity, inflation, CMB physics, large scale structure, gravitational waves, phase transitions, or baryogenesis. Candidates should strengthen and complement existing theoretical and experimental activities at KIT, in particle and astroparticle physics and cosmology
Requirements: Necessary condition for a successful application for the Tenure-track-Professorship (W1) is a high-level grant for a junior research group (e. g. DFG Emmy-Noether group, Helmholtz junior research group, ERC starting grants, junior research groups of ministries (BMBF) or a Sofia Kovalevskaja junior research group of the Alexander von Humboldt foundation), in its first half of the funding period at time of publication of this add. Further, a completed doctorate (PhD) in physics, outstanding internationally visible scientific achievements in the area of cosmology as well as pedagogical aptitude are required
