Junior Professorship

The theoretical junior professorship will interpret questions and models of particle physics and cosmology in the context of precision measurements in atomic and molecular physics and pursue new approaches to modelling at the boundaries of these theories. This will be done in close cooperation with the various precision experiments, such as the optical clocks and matter wave interferometers already available at the LUH and PTB. Examples include the development of search strategies for previously unknown fields such as dark matter or dark energy, as well as the search for other physics beyond the standard model of particle physics using cold and well-controllable atoms and molecules.
