Lecturer / Reader in Nuclear Physics

The School of Physics and Astronomy is seeking to appoint a full-time, open-ended academic position within the Edinburgh Nuclear Physics Group. The Edinburgh Nuclear Physics Group has an outstanding track record for scientific leadership and innovation in experimental nuclear physics research, including nuclear astrophysics, nuclear structure and hadron physics, performed at major international facilities.
We wish to recruit an outstanding scientist who could contribute to any of these fields, or other sub-fields of nuclear physics. We would also welcome applications from scientists with a theoretical, computational, or applied background offering the potential for a strong match to the Group’s activities. You will have an excellent track record in research and will be able to play an internationally leading role in Nuclear Physics and to attract external research funding. In addition, you will be expected to contribute to undergraduate and post-graduate teaching and supervision.
The level of appointment is at the Lectureship level, but exceptional candidates will be considered for appointment at the Readership level. This is a full-time and open-ended position, which is available from early 2019.
For informal discussions, potential candidates are invited to contact any of the academics within the Nuclear Physics Group (https://www.ph.ed.ac.uk/nuclear-physics).
Your application should include a CV, a research statement of 1 page maximum, and details of 3 referees that can be approached.
The closing date for applications is 19-Nov-2018 at 17:00 GMT.
