Job Description

The Department of Physics (DTU Physics) invites applications for a position as professor in luminescence physics and applications in Earth sciences.
With this position, we invite you to join an international research environment, an innovative instrumentation program, and the teaching of excellent graduate and undergraduate students. 
At DTU Physics, we emphasize and encourage collaboration between theory and experiment and across disciplines and build on using and developing state-of-the art methods and instrumentation.
In this position, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the theoretical understanding of luminescence properties of wide bandgap materials, and apply this to luminescence dosimetry, Earth sciences and/or materials research. The goal is to develop new insight into the luminescence processes of natural and artificial minerals, to develop new applications of luminescence dosimetry, and to foster innovation in luminescence instrumentation. You will develop related educational elements to address societal challenges in sustainable development, e.g. within sustainable energy, climate change, or environmental protection.
Responsibilities and qualifications
Your responsibilities include research, innovation, and teaching, combined with leadership within these areas. 
Your scientific focus will be to make significant contributions to the field of luminescence physics and wide-bandgap materials, including the dynamics of long-lived metastable states.
You are expected to take lead on establishing and strengthening international collaborations around the application of luminescence techniques to give key answers in geoscience, archaeology, medical dosimetry, and energy materials. Your contribution to our innovative instrumentation activities is key in this connection. 
Your research field includes several of these topics:

• The physics of wide-bandgap materials
• The dynamics of trapped charge and charge recombination in luminescence processes
• Luminescence dosimetry e.g. for dating geological and archaeological samples
• Development of luminescence instrumentation in support of retrospective dosimetry

You will furthermore attract competitive funding for research and develop educational elements in your field. 
You are expected to take a lead role in teaching at the BEng, BSc, MSc and PhD levels.
DTU employs two working languages: Danish and English. You are expected to be fluent in at least one of these languages, and in time are expected to master both.
You will be assessed against the responsibilities and qualifications stated above and the following general criteria:

• Documented experience and quality of teaching and curriculum development
• Research impact and experience, funding track record and research vision
• International impact and experience 
• Societal impact
• Innovativeness, including commercialization and collaboration with industry
• Leadership, collaboration, and interdisciplinary skills
• Communication skills

Salary and terms of employment 
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union. 
Further information 
Further information may be obtained from head of department Jane Hvolbæk Nielsen ([email protected] , tel.: +45 2227 4393) or Bent Lauritzen ([email protected] , tel.: +45 4677 4906).
