Job description:

Link to full application text and how to apply: Senior Lecturer in physics with specialization in experimental particle physics (varbi.com)

Only applications received through this application system will be considered.

The Division of Particle and Nuclear Physics at the Department of Physics at Lund University is involved in two experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (the LHC): ATLAS and ALICE. This position is mainly focused on the ATLAS experiment, exploring collisions at the highest energies reachable by the LHC. The ATLAS group in Lund was a founding member of the experiment and our members have been appointed to several leadership roles within ATLAS. Our research directions within the experiment: searching for new particles such as dark matter and so-called exotic Higgs bosons, making precision measurements to stress-test the Standard Model, and measuring the luminosity. We also participate in the practical work with the detector and its software, and develop these for the future, in particular tracking and ITk. The research group is also engaged in preparing an experiment to search for light dark matter. Other research groups in the divisionare involved in other particle and nuclear physics experiments. In addition, the division is home to a world-renowned phenomenology theory group.

The new senior lecturer will primarily be involved in research and supervision of doctoral students. The main tasks will be:

  • Strengthening the research activities of the ATLAS group. 
  • Supervising ATLAS doctoral students and undergraduate degree projects. 
  • Further develop their own research interests, possibly with links to other specializations. 
  • Teaching physics students at undergraduate or graduate level depending on the needs of the department and the background and interests of the post holder. 
  • Collaboration with the broader society, for instance through outreach activities. There are also opportunities to participate in existing EU network projects. 
  • Contribute to the development of research, teaching, and supervision at the division.

We expect the new teacher to already have or take on a leading role in their research expertise. The work assignments of the position, as well as the relative proportions of research and teaching, may change over time. The candidate is expected to develop active research within the area and related areas, which also includes active work in applying for external funding and developing collaborations with university units and other governmental authorities and organisations involved in this type of research.

Eligibility

In the assessment, it is a requirement that the applicant:

  • Have solid experience from international research collaborations.
  • Have experience in conducting innovative research with a focus on the physics of the LHC particle physics experiments.
  • Have solid experience with data analysis in experimental particle physics.
  • Have solid experience and skills in computer programming and Unix/Linux-based systems.
  • Have experience in teaching at basic and/or advanced levels.
  • Have experience in supervising undergraduate students and PhD students.
  • Have strong communication skills in English.

In the assessment, it is meritorious that the applicant:
