Overview
About the Role
The School of Physical and Chemical Sciences (SPCS) is recruiting 2 new Lecturers to develop forward-looking and internationally competitive research programmes that cross the disciplinary boundaries between chemistry and condensed matter physics. We are looking for research that complements the existing portfolio of the Centre for Condensed Matter Physics. This has a distinctive focus on the atomic structure of condensed phases, and includes work on advanced materials for energy storage and conversion; electronic, photonic, and quantum materials and devices; and the theory of interactions in condensed phases. The successful candidates will contribute to teaching in the School in an appropriate subfield for their speciality.
About You
You should have a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, or a related subject, with an appropriate track-record of high-quality research. It is essential that you have clear and ambitious plans for your future research and can develop research proposals and effectively manage subsequent awards.
You should have teaching experience, and should be able to design, develop and deliver high-quality teaching and assessment in the Department of Physics Astronomy and/or the Department of Chemistry.
About the School
SPCS was established in 2021, when the Department of Chemistry merged with the School of Physics and Astronomy to create a vibrant multidisciplinary environment. The School maintains a tradition of outstanding teaching and research in ground-breaking fields and offers state-of-the-art experimental and computing facilities.
