Chalmers University of Technology and its Department of Physics are on an ambitious path to expand the frontiers of science and technology to meet those challenges.
As part of these ambitions, the Department of Physics seeks a curious and creative individual, active in the area of the Physics of Life, to join us as an Assistant Professor with tenure track or as an Associate Professor. We are looking for candidates with innovative research ideas who seek scientific freedom to pursue their aspirations, in particular with respect to method development, visualization and analysis, in the areas of biological/biotechnical physics, but will also consider exceptional candidates in related areas, including but not limited to biological engineering, biomolecular self-assembly and biologically inspired active matter (see this link for an overview of present research activities at the department).
What we offer
The position comes with a start-up package which includes:
• Four-year start-up funding
• Funding for one PhD student
• Opportunities for leadership training to further leverage your development as research leader and teacher
• Relocation support
• Mentoring
• A language course for non-Swedish speakers
Through our cross-departmental research arenas in, e.g., Health Engineering, Nanoscience, and Materials, you will have the opportunity to find collaborations and grow your network within the university and beyond as well as with our industrial and societal partners.
Chalmers offers a cultivating and inspiring working environment in the coastal city of Gothenburg. Equality and diversity are fundamental for all activities at Chalmers, and we actively work to improve our gender balance, for example via the GENIE Initiative on gender equality for excellence.
