Odense M

The Department of Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacy (FKF) at the Faculty of Science, University of Southern Denmark (SDU), invites applications for an associate professor position of experimental physics. The associate professor of Experimental Physics will be placed in the Section for Physics.

The successful candidate will establish a research activity broadly within an area of experimental physics. The new research area should expand and complement existing activities in physics at the department, meaning that synergy with existing research together with a clearly recognizable novel research line/focus is considered ideal. However, other experimental research directions will also be considered. A significant part of the new experimental activity should be located on-campus at SDU to ensure integration with the research-based teaching curriculum.

Existing research areas
The department has several strong research groups in the following two main areas of physics that also span collaborations with other departments : (1) biophysics and soft condensed matter (PhyLife) and (2) particle and astroparticle physics, classical and quantum gravity, and cosmology (CP3-Origins).

  • The scientists in PhyLife study the physical principles of biological phenomena and the behaviour of biological materials and cover a wide range of topics using experimental, theoretical and computational approaches. Active research areas include self-assembled complex systems such as biomembranes, polymers, liquid crystals, and minimal life as well as membrane proteins, bioimaging and image analysis, and statistical physics.
  • The international research environment at CP3-Origins includes researchers who focus on the formal development of fundamental quantum theories of nature and their phenomenology, key questions of cosmology, astrophysics and quantum and classical aspects of gravity. These include the origin of the Universe, inflation, the nature of dark energy and dark matter, black holes, gravitational waves, and involvement in the Event Horizon Telescope.

Requirements and qualifications

Research: The ideal candidate holds a PhD degree in physics and is expected to have a visionary, independent and internationally visible research profile as documented by an excellent track record of publications. A proven ability to attract external funding is also expected. Collaborative possibilities with physicists (and other researchers) in the department and experience with collaboration will be an advantage.

Teaching: The ideal candidate has a strong teaching record and is an enthusiastic and highly motivated teacher. You will also be expected to demonstrate experience with teaching courses within the physics curriculum at bachelor and master level as well as experience with project supervision on all levels from bachelor to PhD.

About the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacy

The Department of Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacy has approximately 160 employees including 37 permanent researchers, 70 postdocs and PhD students, and 35 technical administrative staff. To support experimental work the department has both a mechanical and electronics workshop. The department hosts four programmes - physics, chemistry, pharmacy and pharmaceutical chemistry with a total student population of just over 500. The research at the department is internationally competitive and the researchers secure DKK45 – 50 million per year from external foundations and stakeholders. Researchers at FKF collaborate with the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science (IMADA) and the Faculty of Engineering.

Based in Odense, the Faculty of Science offers a modern, inclusive, international and interdisciplinary working environment with state-of-the-art facilities as well as a strong tradition for collaboration across departments and faculties, with university colleges and high schools, municipalities, industries and museums in the region.

For further information please contact Deputy Head of Department, Mads T. Frandsen at [email protected].

The starting date can be flexible. Application deadline: 15 April 2021.

Application, salary etc.
Appointment to the position will be in accordance with the salary agreement between the Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. Please check links for more information on salary and taxation.

Applications will be assessed by an expert committee. When the expert committee issues its assessment, the applicants will be sent the portion of the assessment pertaining to them personally.

The application must include:
• A curriculum vitae
• A full list of publications
• Copies of all publications on which the applicant wishes to be evaluated
• A brief survey of the applicant's most important research results and research plans for the next three years
• A teaching portfolio.

Shortlisting may be used in the assessment process.

Incomplete applications and applications received after the deadline will neither be considered nor evaluated.

An interview may be included as a part of the overall assessment of the applicant’s qualifications.

Applications must be submitted electronically using the link "Apply online". Attached files must be in Adobe PDF or Word format. Each box can only contain a single file of max. 10 Mb. We strongly recommend that you read How to apply before you apply.

Since not all members of the appointment committee are Danish-speaking, it is recommended that your application is submitted in English.

The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
