Open-ended contract

Full-time: 35 hours per week

The School of Physics and Astronomy is seeking to appoint an excellent candidate to a full-time, open-ended academic position within the Edinburgh Nuclear Physics Group. The ideal candidate will have a strong academic track record and proven leadership potential in any area of nuclear physics research.

The opportunity:

The Edinburgh Nuclear Physics Group has an outstanding reputation for scientific leadership and innovative instrumentation in diverse areas of nuclear physics including nuclear astrophysics and properties of exotic nuclei. Our research is performed at world-leading laboratories, using a variety of experimental techniques and state-of-the-art instrumentation developed by the Group.

We wish to recruit strong applicants from across the broad range of exciting new areas in nuclear physics which could link to, and enhance, existing strengths in the Group. We equally welcome nuclear physicists from a theoretical, computational, or applied background offering the potential for strong synergies with the Group's activities.

You will be able to play an internationally leading role in Nuclear Physics and to attract external research funding. In addition, you will be expected to contribute to undergraduate and post-graduate teaching and supervision.

The School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce, and eliminating discrimination. The School strives to create a more diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace for all and we are looking to actively diversify our staff.

This post is full-time (35 hours per week), however, we are open to considering flexible working patterns or requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.

This is an open-ended position, which is available from September 2024.

Your application should include a motivation letter, a CV, a two-page research statement, a one-page teaching statement, and details of two referees.

For informal enquiries contact Prof. Marialuisa Aliotta ).

Your skills and attributes for success:

  • PhD in relevant subject area.
  • Strong research background and experience in nuclear physics or related areas.
  • Demonstrated ability to conduct high-quality research and to attract external research funding.
