Applications are invited from outstanding candidates with a strong background in physics and/or materials science, with strengths in cutting-edge charged-beam microscopy such as aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy and/or helium-ion microscopy. The initiative is a cross-disciplinary partnership between the School of Physics and CRANN which together comprise nearly 400 researchers including 37 principal investigators. The School and CRANN are already home to state-of-the-art characterization, analysis and synthesis research facilities for nanoscale structures and devices. This position is associated with the Advanced Microscopy Laboratory (AML) which houses a range of cutting-edge ultramicroscopy tools (e.g., NION, FEI Titan, Carl Zeiss NanoFab and Auriga, etc). One important role for the successful candidate will be to link research of existing academics of the School to the advanced electron microscopy tools available in AML and expand the scope of electron microscopy research beyond the current research areas.
The Ussher Assistant Professor will be required to conduct the following:
Teaching The candidates are expected to develop,teach and assess a broad range ofinnovative undergraduate and graduatecourses in physics, nanoscienceand nanotechnology. Teaching may take many forms including lectures, laboratory practical classes (both experimental and computational), small or large group tutorials and supervision for research projects (both undergraduate and postgraduate). Assessment may take one of a number of forms including setting and marking formal written examination, oral (viva voce) examination, informal assessment in a laboratory setting and marking written reports/dissertations/theses as appropriate.
Research The successful candidate will establish and sustain world-class, independent, externally-funded research programmes in a research-intensive cross-disciplinary environment. It is crucial that these research programmes have great potential to significantly enhance the productivity of the existing research threads in the School and catalyse new research activities, and thus expand the scope of electron microscopy research beyond the current research areas.
Administration Like all other members of the academic staff the successful candidate will contribute to the academic administration in the School and/or CRANN as directed by the Head of School/Director of CRANN. Examples of typical duties are: acting as undergraduate course year coordinator, directing student recruitment or outreach programmes, coordination of physics examinations etc.
