Position Description: |
Junior Research Chairs, LabEx ENS ICFP, Department of Physics, ENS (Ecole normale supérieure), Paris Closing date: October 30, 2019 Expected interview dates: December 9-10-11, 2019 The
Department of Physics at ENS Paris invites applications for two JRC (Junior
Research Chairs) at postdoctoral level. Appointments will be for two years
with a probable one-year extension. The Department aims at recruiting outstanding candidates with international experience. Research activities can be experimental and/or theoretical; this year, the department aims at hiring a Junior Research Chair in Theoretical Biophysics (research topic: biological physics: from decision theory to navigation). The other position is open either for theoreticians or experimentalists. Experimental projects are encouraged through a reserved budget. Research
themes should correspond to one of the following ones: -
Quantum physics: from atoms to condensed matter -
Biophysics: from the cell to the organism -
Non-linear physics: from the laboratory to the cosmos - Statistical and theoretical physics Some participation in teaching within ENS-ICFP (International Centre for Fundamental Physics and its Interfaces) Master program is part of the duties http://www.phys.ens.fr/spip.php?rubrique284&;lang=en In addition to an internationally competitive salary, ENS-ICFP provides an attractive travel allowance and research funds for experimentalists (150 000 euros). The successful candidates are fully integrated into the Department of Physics and its constituent research laboratories. For more detailed information regarding the research undertaken at the Department of Physics, please consult our website http://www.phys.ens.fr/spip.php?rubrique258&lang=en The positions are funded by ENS-ICFP grant, obtained through the French National Excellence initiative. Applications must be exclusively submitted through AcademicJobsOnline and should consist of: -
A cover letter -
A complete CV including a list of publications - A research project taking into account possible interactions with research groups/faculty within the Department of Physics at Ecole normale supérieure (no more than 4 pages of A4). - Three letters of recommendation from senior scientists, to be uploaded on AcademicJobsOnline. Candidates are encouraged to make early contact with faculty to construct their project and should refer to these contacts in their 4-page research statement. Short-listed
candidates will be interviewed (videoconferences) in early December 2019. Only
applications received by October 30, 2019 will be considered. The hiring
committee will make offers in late 2019.
Positions will normally start in
