Tenure track position in gravitational wave physics at UIB, Palma de Mallorca, Spain

Posted on by

The gravitational physics group (http://grg.uib.es) at the Balearic Islands University (UIB) is looking for candidates to apply for a distinguished researcher tenure track position, which has been granted in the framework of the Beatriz Galindo program. The successful candidate will be selected by an international panel.

The position is initially funded for 4 years, and UIB has committed to open a permanent faculty position in order to integrate the successful candidate as a faculty member of the University into the department of physics once the grant has been completed.

Candidates will be expected to carry out research that broadens the activities of the gravitational physics group within the IAC3 research institute for computational physics (http://iac3.uib.cat) in the field of gravitational wave physics, in particular with a view toward the science of next generation instruments, and to carry out teaching in computational physics.

Requirements for candidates:
– All or part of their professional career should have been developed outside of Spain, with a maximal professional experience outside of Spain (counted after obtaining the PhD) of seven years.
– Candidates should have postdoctoral experience in the field of gravitational wave physics, including astrophysics from gravitational wave sources or cosmology with direct application in this field.

In addition to a description of their research, teaching and transfer of knowledge plans, candidates will have to accredit their professional experience.

The deadline for applications is 17:00 CEST, May 24 2019.
Online submission requires of a valid electronic certificate

The official announcement can be found at our University’s web page at: https://www.uib.cat/recerca/ajuts/beques_mobilitat/galindo_2019

Tenure-Track Assistant/Associate Professor in Geometry at Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands

Posted on by

The Mathematics department of Radboud University (Nijmegen, The Netherlands) has a vacancy for a tenure track assistant/associate professorship in Geometry (broadly interpreted).

Initially this concerns an employment for six years. There will be a final evaluation after at most five and a half years. If the final review is positive the position will be converted to a permanent one. For candidates who are already further in their career an earlier evaluation is possible.

The department aims at increasing the number of female academic mathematicians employed by the institute. Female candidates are therefore particularly encouraged to apply.

UCSD Faculty Position in Gravitational Wave Astrophysics

The Department of Physics within the Division of Physical Sciences at UC San Diego is committed to academic excellence and diversity within the faculty, staff, and student body and invites applications for a tenured (Associate level) or tenure-track (Assistant level) faculty position in Gravitational Wave Astrophysics. This is a broad search for outstanding researchers in gravitational wave science, including theoreticians (fundamental gravitation theory, gravitational wave source modeling, numerical relativity), gravitational wave data analysts, or experimentalists working on the design, development or construction of instrumentation for gravitational wave science. All positions are subject to the availability of funding.

Successful candidates must have a Ph.D. in Physics or a closely related field and demonstrated potential for a recognized program of excellence in both teaching and research. In addition, successful candidates must also demonstrate a commitment to equity and inclusion in higher education. A successful candidate must have a well-articulated plan of contributing to programs that increase access and success of underrepresented students and faculty in the sciences. We especially welcome candidates who have already benefitted from, contributed to, or created such programs, or served as a role model in mentoring others. A successful candidate will also have a commitment to helping shape and expand the University’s diversity initiatives. Applications should include a statement describing past and/or potential contributions to equity, diversity, and inclusion. Information on contributions to diversity statements can be found in the official job posting at the links listed below.
