From 1929 to 1936 he was a regular associate professor at the University of Bonn (and from 1933 to 1936 director of the Physics Institute) and from 1939 to 1945 scientific director of the Askania works in Berlin. In 1946 he became a full professor at the TU Berlin and in 1947/48 he was a full professor for theoretical physics at the University of Rostock .
