The Department of Physics is one of the largest departments within the Faculty of Science and supports a broad range of basic research in experimental and theoretical physics. It has about 250 employees, of which 95 are PhD students. Many have been internationally recruited. The Department is part of the AlbaNova University Center, which apart from the Department of Physics houses the Department of Astronomy, the Physics Departments at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), and the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (Nordita).
Members of the department are also part of the Oskar Klein Centre for Cosmoparticle Physics (OKC) , a rich scientific environment that comprises more than a hundred researchers working in both theory and experiment.
Subject
Data-intensive methods in fundamental physics, astrophysics and cosmology
Subject description
The subject covers method development of data analysis techniques and machine learning within fundamental physics, astrophysics, particle physics or cosmology.
Main responsibilities
Research and in addition some teaching and supervision.
Qualification requirements
In order to qualify for the position as assistant professor, the applicant must have completed a doctoral degree in Sweden or an equivalent degree from another country. In the first instance, an applicant should be considered who has received such a degree no more than five years before the deadline for applications.
