jobbeskrivelse:

DTU Physics invites you to apply for a PhD project.

We are looking for highly motivated and skilled candidates to apply for a number of vacant PhD positions. The subject of your PhD project must be within one of the main research areas of the department:

• Experimental surface physics and catalysis http://www.fysik.dtu.dk/english/Research/SurfCat
• Catalysis theory (New strategic activity) http://www.fysik.dtu.dk/english/research/cattheory
• Computational atomic-scale materials design http://www.fysik.dtu.dk/english/research/camd
• Neutrons and x-rays for materials physics http://www.fysik.dtu.dk/english/research/nexmap
• Quantum physics and information technology http://www.fysik.dtu.dk/english/research/qpit
• Biophysics and fluids http://www.fysik.dtu.dk/english/research/fluids
• Plasma physics and fusion energy http://www.fysik.dtu.dk/english/research/ppfe
• Nanoscale materials and devices (New activity transferred from DTU Nanotech) http://www.fysik.dtu.dk/english/research/nanomade

The Department of Physics is focusing on research and teaching in physics areas of fundamental interest and with clear application and innovation potentials. We embrace both projects that are curiosity driven and projects that are closely related to grand challenges in society.

We encourage collaboration, for example with the common goal of establishing sustainable energy solutions. We also focus on developing the next generation of functional materials, inducing catalysts and two-dimensional materials, and we are expert users at a number of large-scale research facilities including synchrotrons and neutron sources. We work to develop quantum technology and on harvesting synergy between physics and life-science areas.

We embrace internationally leading research environments at the department and we prioritize strong cross-disciplinary collaborations within DTU, with leading international universities and facilities, and with private companies. DTU Physics has the main responsibility for the Physics and Nanotechnology education and for the introductory physics course for most of DTU's students.

The position, which involves a limited teaching obligation, includes salary and travel grants covering the three years it takes to obtain a PhD degree at a Danish university. Salary level is approximately 52.500 Euro incl. pension per year.

Qualifications

You should have a master degree in physics or a similar relevant degree with an academic level equivalent to the master degree in engineering. Flexibility, self-discipline and curiosity as well as collaboration and responsibility are basic skills at our department.

Approval and Enrolment

The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programs of DTU - in this case in the Physics, Mathematics and Informatics program. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide. http://www.dtu.dk/english/Education/PhD/Rules/PhDguide

We offer

DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment.

Application

Please submit your online application no later than 29 April 2019 (local time). Applications must be submitted as one PDF file containing all materials to be given consideration. To apply, please open the link "Apply online," fill in the online application form, and attach all your materials in English in one PDF file.

In the field 'Please indicate which position(s) you would like to apply for' please specify the relevant research area(s) for your application (max. 2) - see list above.

The file must include:

• A letter motivating the application (cover letter)
• Curriculum vitae
• Grade transcripts and BSc/MSc diploma
• Excel sheet with translation of grades to the Danish grading system (see guidelines and Excel spreadsheet here - in the right hand column) http://www.dtu.dk/english/Education/phd/Applicant/Pre_acceptance-1-

You may apply prior to obtaining your master's degree, but cannot begin, before having received it.

Applications and enclosures received after the deadline will not be considered.

All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, disability, race, religion or ethnic background are encouraged to apply.
