Position Description: |
The Niels Bohr International Academy plans to fill fixed term (3-5 years)
Assistant Professorships in theoretical high energy physics with a starting date in
the fall of 2018. The group has very broad interests in fundamental aspects of quantum
field theory, including broadly defined areas in gauge and gravity theories or particle physics
phenomenology. Candidates are expected to have an
exceptionally strong research record in these or closely related areas. Though no
formal teaching duties are associated with the position, a successful candidate will
be expected to take an active role in the organization of workshops, PhD schools
and conferences. There are possibilities for teaching at graduate level, and
guidance of students at both M.Sc. and Ph.D. levels.
The Niels Bohr International Academy functions as a primary center for
fundamental research including theoretical and computational astrophysics,
cosmology, high-energy particle physics, condensed matter physics, and astroparticle physics.
The NBIA has an extensive program of visiting scholars throughout the
year and sponsors conferences and workshops in a broad range of topics. Many members of the Academy hold dual appointments with the Theoretical Particle Physics and Cosmology Group and the Discovery Center for Particle Physics at the Niels Bohr Institute
The chosen candidate will receive a competitive salary (including pension) and substantial funds for travel, visitors, computing and workshop organization. substantial funds for travel, visitors, computing and workshop organization. Generous parental leave, state-subsidized childcare, vacation, and full medical care are provided to employees in Denmark. A favorable tax scheme is generally granted to international researchers. The University of Copenhagen wishes to reflect the diversity of society and welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background. The primary criterion for the evaluation of candidates is the excellence of their research. To guarantee full consideration applications should be received before December 1st 2018. Later applications will be accepted until the position is filled. |
