Professorship in Theoretical Physics

NORDITA announces a position as full professor in theoretical physics.

The position will start in January 2009 or at some other date to be agreed upon.

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).

Researchers at NORDITA are engaged in research in astrophysics, astrobiology, biological physics, statistical physics/complex systems, condensed matter physics and high-energy physics. Strong candidates from any subfield of theoretical physics will be considered, but emphasis is placed on condensed matter physics and high-energy physics.

The appointment is tenured through an agreement with the Stockholm-area universities (Stockholm University, Royal Institute of Technology, Uppsala University).

Application

Candidates should send their curriculum vitae, a list of publications together with a statement of research interests, pedagogical merits and statement of pedagogical interests before November 3, 2008.

The applicants are requested to ask at most three referees to send letters of recommendation before the deadline. The application should be directed to
