Lecturer for special tasks with a focus on teaching in the introductory phase of experimental physics (m/f/d)

The Physics Department is part of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at RWTH Aachen University. The group includes about 40 professors, 150 scientific staff and 70 employees in technology and administration. Their tasks include research in various areas of physics, from basic research to applications, the support of doctoral students and the teaching in the Bachelor and Master's degree programmes of physics. In addition, extensive teaching assignments are performed for further courses from different areas of the university as well as for teachers.

You independently develop student experiments embedded in the I+II experimental physics exercises. You design and develop training tasks for experimental physics 1-2 and coordinate the practice operation. You serve training groups in various courses (Experimental Physics, Mathematical Methods and Introduction to Programming) in the first semesters of physics studies. You network content with the requirements and qualifications from the lectures Mathematical Methods I+II and from the programming course. You design digital learning content and experiments for students of physics and secondary. You accompany the embedding of programming tasks for experimental physics in the training operation of the study entrance phase. You evaluate the success of teaching in the study entrance phase and follow the development of the contents and didactic concepts of the school subjects mathematics, physics and computer science. You work closely with other actors in the field of teaching innovations in the Department of Physics and pass on their experiences to teachers of the entire department. The acquisition of the tasks involves a teaching obligation of 12 semester week hours.

You have successfully completed a university degree in physics (master or comparable) as well as a PhD in physics, can act independently, are flexible and open to new tasks. You have already been able to gain experience in teaching and were, if possible, involved in the development of educational and educational projects. You are able to develop and implement experiments for students. You have programming skills, ideally in the field of e-learning. You are able to communicate verbally as in writing in German and English. You are ready to participate in the offer “Lehren an der RWTH” by Excellent Academic Teaching at the Center for Teaching and Learning Services (CLS).
