The Role

As part of a strategy to rapidly expand our Physics programme, the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics (MSP) is looking to appoint an experimental Physicist.

We are looking for an enthusiastic academic with expertise in the area of experimental condensed matter or experimental photonics. You will be expected to establish your own area of expertise but may find synergies with our existing areas of strength in materials. The ability to contribute to impact e.g. through a potential REF impact case would be an advantage.

Newcastle University has been steadily growing its Physics academic staff since 2015 and is expected to continue over the next 5 years. You will have the opportunity to help shape the research and teaching associated with this expansion. We are committed to using this opportunity to build a Physics environment with equality and diversity at the core. As such, in addition to a strong research track record, you will have a genuine interest and commitment to developing the role of under-represented groups in Physics, and an interest in establishing innovative, evidence-based programmes that will target these groups at all levels. In addition, you will need to demonstrate the potential to be a strong role model for the values of equality, diversity and inclusion.

Your top 5 research outputs (accounting for career breaks) in which you have had a significant input. This may include journal publications and other forms of output relating to impact. For multi-author works, describe your contribution AND research funding applied for or received
What constitutes excellent teaching to you
Your past contributions to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) and what your contributions to EDI at Newcastle will be
Your research plans at Newcastle over the next 3-5 years
