Victoria University of Wellington Lecturer in Physics

ACU Ref: 59184
Closing Date: 30 June 2012

We seek two well-qualified and ambitious early-career Physicists with some experience of teaching and a good record of research, who wish to work in a dynamic multidisciplinary School.

The School has a vibrant research programme in experimental and theoretical Physics in the fields of Astrophysics, Condensed Matter Physics, Environmental Physics, Geomagnetism, and Nanotechnology. Candidates will be expected to demonstrate how their research would integrate with and/or complement the existing strengths of the School (http://www.victoria.ac.nz/scps/research).

The School hosts the MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology, a national Centre of Research Excellence. There are strong collaborations with three government research laboratories in the Wellington region, and with other national and international research organizations. The School has modern, well-equipped laboratories, and a research community that includes one hundred postgraduate students and postdoctoral fellows.

Within this challenging role you will have the opportunity to teach across a range of Physics, and develop research in Physics, possibly, but not necessarily, as part of the MacDiarmid Institute.

The School of Chemical and Physical Sciences offers a full range of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, with undergraduate majors in Physics and Applied Physics.

To be a successful applicant you must have a PhD or equivalent qualification in physics, several years of postdoctoral research experience with a good record of publication, and the potential to be an excellent teacher.
