Assistant Professor in Experimental Chemical Physics with Focus on X-Ray Characterization of Chemical Processes

Stockholm University - Department of Physics

Stockholm, Sweden

Subject

Experimental Chemical Physics with focus on X-Ray Characterization of Chemical Processes.

Subject description

The subject area is the study of fundamental chemical processes on or in environmentally sustainable materials, where X-ray spectroscopic methods are applied and/or further developed.

Main responsibilities

Research and in addition some teaching and supervision.

Qualification requirements

In order to qualify for the position as assistant professor, the applicant must have completed a doctoral degree in Sweden or an equivalent degree from another country. Priority will be given to applicants who have received such a degree no more than seven years before the deadline for applications. However, an applicant who has received such a degree earlier may be considered under special circumstances. Special reasons could be sick leave, parental leave or other similar circumstances.

All teaching positions at Stockholm University require the ability to collaborate and the general ability and suitability to perform one’s duties.

Assessment criteria

In the appointment process, special attention will be given to research skills. Teaching skills will also be considered, as well as the ability to lead and develop research activities, or clear potential to do so, for example through experience in supervision, project management, collaboration or other forms of academic responsibility.

The assessment of research skills will focus primarily on merits within the subject area of the position.

The following will also be considered:

• demonstrated experience with ultrafast (femtosecond) laser spectroscopy and/or ultrafast x-ray spectroscopy at free-electron lasers;
• demonstrated experience in x-ray spectroscopy under operando conditions;
• the research plan's focus that should be on studies of fundamental chemical processes, where the specialized instrument UOPS constitutes a crucial component.
