Tenure-track Assistant Professorship in Experimental Nano Optics

jobbeskrivelse:

The Centre for Nano Optics (www.sdu.dk/nano-optics) at the Mads Clausen Institute, University of Southern Denmark, in Odense seeks outstanding candidates to fill a tenure-track faculty position at the assistant professor level in the research and teaching area of experimental nano-optics. The position is available from September 2019.

The initial appointment is for a period of 4 years with the prospect of a performance-based advancement to a tenured position as Associate Professor. Promotion to the tenured status will involve a review by an international review committee. If the outcome is positive, the candidate will be offered a tenured position as Associate Professor at the University of Southern Denmark.

The successful candidate is expected to conduct cutting-edge experimental research within (linear, nonlinear and quantum) plasmonics and nanophotonics, preferably related to the newly emerged area of metasurfaces, by performing advanced modelling, nanofabrication, including electron-beam lithography, and optical characterization.

The application material should include a detailed motivation and an outline of the research activities that are to be pursued. In their applications, applicants should highlight their ten most significant journal publications, detailing also their author contributions. Applicants who wish to be considered should provide a link to a fully-updated ResearcherID (www.researcherid.com). The application material should also include an account on supervision and teaching experience.

The prospective candidates should have a Ph.D. degree within the mentioned research area and documented research experience in the aforementioned experimental techniques. They are expected to have a notable international profile, strong record of research publications, and demonstrated exceptional potential to excel in scientific research. We expect the candidate to actively engage in the development of academic research and educational environment at the Centre for Nano Optics.

The candidate is expected to teach and instruct both graduate and undergraduet students as well as supervise bachelor and master projects. Furthermore, the candicate is expected to contribute actively to young-researcher education through supervision of Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researchers.

For further information about the position and the Centre for Nano Optics and the corresponding research infrastructure, contact Prof. Sergey I. Bozhevolnyi (seib (at) mci.sdu.dk).

Conditions of employment

The head of department will further, host annual performance- and development reviews, to ensure the progress of the assistant professor’s development towards meeting the qualifications of an associate professorship. A formal midterm evaluation will be conducted by a committee, consisting of the head of the department and two external researchers with relevant qualifications, with the purpose of ensuring the focus of the assistant professor’s activities, as well as to create the basis for the planning of the remaining period.

The transition from assistant professor to associate professor
Within the 4th year of employment, the tenure-track assistant professor is expected to transition into a position as an associate professor position, based on a positive assessment conducted by a formally approved assessment committee, consisting of a chairman appointed by the University of Southern Denmark, as well two external committee members approved by the dean, the academic council and the tenure-track committee of the university.

Successful applicants to tenure-track assistant professor positions must be scholars with an internationally competitive research profile, whose potential is at the forefront of their discipline. The applicants for tenure-track assistant professorships, are assessed based on the criteria of the applicant’s potential to reach an international level of scholarly excellence during the tenure-track period. The candidate will only be promoted to associate professor when the assessment committee confirms that the candidate has scholarly merits at a level of international excellence beyond what can normally be expected for associate professors, with reference to the qualification policy of the research group in which the position is announced.

Indicators of relevant scholarly merits could be documented through scholarly output independent of the PhD supervisor, ground-breaking publications, achievement of excellence grants, and international research network.
