Senior Lecturer in PhysicsLund University, Faculty of Science, Department of PhysicsLund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked among the world’s top universities. The University has around 47 000 students and more than 8 800 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition. Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We regard gender equality and diversity as a strength and an asset.
The Division of Particle and Nuclear Physics at the Department of Physics is involved in two experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (the LHC): ATLAS and ALICE. This position is mainly focused on the ATLAS experiment, exploring collisions at the highest energies reachable by the LHC. The ATLAS group in Lund was a founding member of the experiment and our members have been appointed to several leadership roles within ATLAS. Our research directions within the experiment: searching for new particles such as dark matter and so-called exotic Higgs bosons, making precision measurements to stress-test the Standard Model, and measuring the luminosity. We also participate in the practical work with the detector and its software, and develop these for the future, in particular tracking and ITk. The research group is also engaged in preparing an experiment to search for light dark matter. Other research groups in the division are involved in other particle and nuclear physics experiments. In addition, the division is home to a world-renowned phenomenology theory group. Job description
We expect the new teacher to already have or take on a leading role in their research expertise. The work assignments of the position, as well as the relative proportions of research and teaching, may change over time. The candidate is expected to develop active research within the area and related areas, which also includes active work in applying for external funding and developing collaborations with university units and other governmental authorities and organisations involved in this type of research. Eligibility For this position the qualified applicants must have a doctorate in physics with a specialization in experimental particle physics or equivalent subject, and relevant experience as a doctoral student or thereafter. It is a requirement to have completed at least five weeks of training in higher education teaching and learning or acquired equivalent knowledge by other means. In certain cases, exceptions can be made to this requirement. For academic staff at Lund University, the general qualification requirements are to be suited to and have the general ability required to complete the duties of the post well.

It is expected that any non-Swedish speaking appointee within a three-year period will master the Swedish language well enough to be able to teach and to communicate with the university administration in Swedish. Design and content of the application The Faculty of Science conducts research and education within Biology, Astronomy, Physics, Geosciences, Chemistry, Mathematics and Environmental Science. The Faculty is organized into eight departments, gathered in the northern campus area. The Faculty has approximately 1500 students, 330 PhD students and 700 employees. The Department of Physics is one of Lund University's largest departments with approximately 400 employees. The department is shared between the Faculty of Science and Faculty of Engineering. At the department there are seven research divisions and a number of major research centra. The research at the department covers a wide range of modern physics. We kindly decline all sales and marketing contacts.
