Associate or Full Professor of High Magnetic Field and Intense Infrared/THz Science

Are you interested in groundbreaking research employing intense infrared/THz radiation in high magnetic fields and starting a new research group? If so, join HFML-FELIX as an Associate or Full Professor at the Faculty of Science at Radboud University.

HFML-FELIX builds on a strong background in advanced spectroscopy in high magnetic fields and with intense infrared/THz radiation and has now started to expand these activities towards the world-unique combination of both techniques.

As an Associate or Full Professor, you will set up a new research line at this novel interface of highest DC magnetic fields and intense infrared/THz radiation and exploit the exceptional opportunities for control and manipulation of matter. Possible areas of interest cover a broad spectrum including pulsed magnetic resonance techniques at the highest DC magnetic fields, control of quantum materials, ultra-fast dynamics of spins, charge and lattice, as well as out-of-equilibrium phenomena and THz spectroscopy. Within your field of expertise, you will also actively contribute to our institute's user programme and collaborate with researchers within HFML-FELIX and the national HFML-FELIX partnership, as well as with national and international user groups.

Researchers at HFML-FELIX use an array of experimental techniques in high magnetic fields, such as magneto-transport, magneto-optics, magnetisation and torque magnetometry, dilatometry, and infrared and ultrafast laser spectroscopy, to perform groundbreaking research on condensed matter systems and beyond. We will encourage you to develop new experimental techniques within your research line to further explore the unique possibilities of our facility, which will also strengthen our user programme.

Strong collaborations exist with experimental and theoretical groups within the Institute for Molecules and Materials, which covers a broad spectrum of research topics in biochemistry, organic chemistry, condensed matter and molecular physics. In your role, you will actively work on the acquisition of external funding and build a research group comprising postdoctoral research associates, PhD candidates and undergraduate project students and, possibly, technicians.

As an Associate or Full Professor, you will lead an independent research group with an internationally competitive research programme that aligns with and enhances the capabilities of HFML-FELIX, acquire research funding, possibly in collaboration with external academic and/or industrial partners, and supervise and guide PhD candidates and other scientific staff. Your teaching activities will be part of the Educational Institutes for Physics and Astronomy.
