The holder of the announced position is expected to carry out research and provide leadership in theoretical physics. This includes guiding fellows at the postdoctoral level, interacting with colleagues and visitors at NORDITA and elsewhere in the Nordic countries, taking an active part in the organization of research programmes and other events. The position provides excellent opportunities to pursue original research and be in contact with a wide range of developments in theoretical physics in a broad sense. Although there are no teaching obligations at Nordita, the staff is encouraged to participate in PhD supervision and teaching at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm University (SU) and Uppsala University (UU).
