Assistant Professor in modelling graphene-based devices and systems

Stimulated by major needs and challenges in science and society, our ambition is to foster a creative environment for academic research, teaching and outreach. We provide a competitive advantage by linking top-level international and interdisciplinary academic performance in the areas of material science, nanotechnology and energy research with world-leading industrial R&D&I projects.

We address a wide array of experimental, computational, methodological and theoretical challenges, from fundamental physics research, through the development of new materials to direct industrial projects generating new inventions. We have a strong learning commitment on all levels from undergraduate to PhD studies where physics meet engineering.

We are situated in a stimulating and creative environment with 200 physics teachers and researchers, 120 PhD students and 550 undergraduate students.

Major responsibilities

Your main duty as a tenure-track assistant professor is to perform your own research as a member of a research group. The position also includes teaching for about 20% of your working hours, on undergraduate and master's levels, as well as supervising and co-supervising PhD students. Another important aspect involves international collaboration with academia, industry and society at large. The position is meritorious for future positions within academia as well as industry/the public sector.


Position summary

Full-time temporary employment for a maximum of four years. Progress will be assessed after two years. You are expected to achieve associate professor expertise within four years. The position is funded primarily within the Sensors work package in the Graphene Flagship, and the research profile must be compatible with the funding source.

Qualifications

To qualify for the position of a tenure-track assistant professor, you must have a doctoral degree in a relevant field; the degree should not be older than five years. You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching and supervision, and to demonstrate good potential within research and education. Experience from a postdoc position or qualified research and development in industry is meritorious.

The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in Swedish and English. Chalmers offers Swedish courses.
