W3 Professorship in Communications in Quantum Technologies
Euraxess, New Bremen, OH, United States
Offer Description
The professorship addresses communication technologies at the intersection of quantum and classical engineering systems. Its theoretical foundations draw on the concepts and methods of both classical and quantum communications.
Research will focus on the technical aspects of quantum communication systems. Key topics include signal processing, coding and modulation; the role of entanglement; error detection and correction; cryptography and security; and information processing in integrated quantum computers and in distributed quantum communication systems (the quantum internet).
The person appointed to this position will be an active researcher with an outstanding track record in the field. As a member of the Center for Quantum Technologies, you will collaborate closely with colleagues in the Systems Engineering and Physics departments and will demonstrate strong potential for interdisciplinary research.
Teaching and Supervision
You will be expected to contribute actively to teaching core subjects in communication within the classical engineering sciences and to offer specialized courses that align with your own research areas. You will be involved in developing and shaping study programmes in systems engineering and in quantum engineering. The language of instruction is typically English, but German is preferred for basic courses. We expect you either to have sufficient proficiency to teach in both languages or be willing to acquire this level of proficiency within an appropriate period.
Experience in and an understanding of university-level teaching, a commitment to contribute innovative teaching concepts at all academic levels (Bachelor’s, Master’s and doctoral), dedicated supervision of students, and support for early career researchers will be considered an advantage.
Qualifications
A university degree in engineering or a related discipline in the natural sciences (particularly physics) and a doctorate (PhD or equivalent) evidencing research of high originality and significance are required, as is evidence of teaching at university level.
Additional selection criteria include a strong track record of securing external research funding – ideally with leadership roles in collaborative research programmes or centres (e.g. as coordinator or principal investigator) – international experience, the ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary settings, and experience of academic administrative and committee work.

Equality and Diversity
Saarland University views internationalization as a process spanning all aspects of university life. We therefore expect members of our professorial staff to promote and foster further internationalization. In accordance with the objectives of its gender equality plan, Saarland University is actively seeking to increase the proportion of women in this field. Qualified women candidates are therefore strongly encouraged to apply. Preferential consideration will be given to applications from disabled candidates of equal eligibility. Furthermore, we welcome applications from all qualified candidates irrespective of nationality, ethnic heritage or social background, religious beliefs, personal beliefs or values, age, sexual orientation or identity.
