Edinburgh Nuclear Physics Group

Chancellor's Fellow in Experimental Nuclear Physics Grade UE08 £37,756 - £45,053 or exceptionally on Grade UE09 £47,787 - £53,765

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS EXTENDED TO 28 FEBRUARY 2014

The Nuclear Physics group is part of the Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics. The group has an exciting, broad-ranging and interconnected research programme in hadron physics, exotic nuclei, nuclear astrophysics and direct searches for dark matter. Group members are currently leading and developing a number of major new initiatives in each of these areas at world leading international laboratories. The group's scientific programmes are underpinned by a wide range of innovative new techniques and approaches, combined with the development of advanced new detector and instrumentation systems.

We seek to appoint a Chancellor's Fellow in any of the group's research areas, and would consider candidates in new and related areas. We expect candidates to have shown the potential for international scientific leadership, and to play an important role in the evolving the long-term scientific interests of the group. Opportunities for significant partnership and support from other areas of the Institute and School exist, including access to the Advanced Detector Development Centre and high performance computing, and with the broad range of astronomical research conducted by the Institute for Astronomy and at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh.

Candidates should have a proven track record in experimental nuclear physics research, have the ability to work well within a group and lead a team, and show the potential to attract research grant funding.
