Syddansk Universitet
Tenure-track Assistant Professor/Associate Professor in Astrophysics, Gravity and/or Cosmology
Odense
FULL TIME
September 23, 2024
FKF is one of four departments at the Faculty of Science, SDU, located in Odense. The physics section at FKF is focused on basic research within the areas of astrophysics, gravity, cosmology, fundamental physics, biophysics, and computational physics. The section is part of a broader SDU physics research environment across several faculties.
The ambition of the department is to carry out world-class research within the above-mentioned research fields. The applicant is expected to expand and complement our current activities in, and at the interface of cosmology, gravity, astrophysics or particle physics. We are seeking to appoint an assistant professor or an associate professor that will have the ability to play an active role in international and/or national collaborative projects and thereby strengthen SDU's visibility.
The candidate must have a proven track record of high quality international scientific publications and a track record of attracting research funding and management of research projects as well as the potential to attract significant research funding within the Danish and EU funding landscape.
The department is responsible for educations in physics as well as in chemistry and pharmacy. The ambition of the department is to significantly strengthen the physics education in fundamental physics, astrophysics and cosmology at the master level. We therefore expect that the applicant is an inspiring mentor for students.
Requirements and qualifications
The position requires research experience within one or several of the areas of astrophysics, gravity, cosmology and must also hold a Ph D within these or related areas. The ideal candidate is expected to have most of the following documented qualifications within astrophysics, gravity and/or cosmology:
- Experience with studying general relativistic effects in astrophysics/cosmology.
- Experience with numerical astrophysics/gravity/cosmology such as simulations.
- Experience with analytical and numerical aspects of astronomical probes such as ray tracing and/or gravitational waves.
The successful candidate is furthermore expected to have:
- Excellent English skills (written and spoken).
- Ability to work independently and be the driving force behind a research team.
- A teaching portfolio in physics and experience with independently supervising students. The latter is a requirement for applicants at associate professor level but not necessarily at the assistant professor level.
For further information please contact Head of Department Lars Porskjær Christensen at lpc@sdu.dk .
Application deadline: 4 November 2024 and starting 1. January 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Application, salary etc.

- A full list of publications
- Copy of Ph D diploma
- Copies of all publications on which the applicant wishes to be evaluated
- A brief survey of the applicant's most important research results and research plans for the next three years
