About the role
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at UCL aims to appoint a Lecturer in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics.
We are particularly interested in candidates whose research complements the experimental research interests of the Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (CMMP) group at UCL. These largely focus on the fundamental investigation of order and excitations in solid and liquid phases, superconductors, semiconductors, disordered states, surfaces and interfaces, as well as the development of new condensed matter systems and applications. The CMMP group has strong links with the London Centre for Nanotechnology and with major national facilities,, ISIS Neutron and Muon Source and Diamond Light Source. Candidates should either be specialists in experimental method development or users of experimental techniques as part of a broader research programme.
The primary task of the person appointed will be to conduct an original research programme that aspires to the highest levels of scholarship. The post holder will also contribute to the teaching programme in the Department of Physics & Astronomy and perform the normal administrative duties expected of a member of academic staff.
About you
The successful candidate should have a Degree and Doctorate in Physics or a closely related discipline, carried out at least one period of successful postdoctoral research in a leading academic, national facility or industrial group, demonstrated a clear track record of international research excellence in a relevant area of Physics and a record of outstanding and original research publications in leading scientific journals.
Moreover, you should be able to conduct an independent research programme that reaches to the highest level of scholarship and be able to teach physics to undergraduates and postgraduate students.
Candidates will need to upload a CV (including a list of publications), cover letter, a statement of research interests and plans(3 pages maximum), and the contact information for three references.
