2 Tenure-track positions in Physics of Atomic Collisions

 The Department of Solid State Physics at the University of ŁódŸ is seeking applicants for a probationary (tenure-track) positions at the rank of Adjunct in condensed matter physics.

The condensed matter physics group is active in a range of topics including: atomic physics, surface modification and analysis by ion beam, thin films, nanotechnology, solid-state theory, magnetic films.

The department has major research facilities such as: ion-beam accelerator, scanning microscopes and Nanotechnology Laboratory, which are devoted to the fabrication and characterisation of materials and structures.  Preference will be given to an experimental physicist with research interests in ion beam modification and characterisation of surfaces: RBS-C, PIXE, LEED, AES.   

 Candidates must have a Ph.D. and a proven research record.  The successful candidates will be expected to establish an independent and innovative externally funded research program involving the training of graduate students

 Interested candidates should submit a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a research plan, and the names and addresses of three referees, to be sent directly to:

         Prof. Marek Moneta

         Department of Solid State Physics

         The University of Łódz

         Pomorska 149, PL 90-236 Łódz, Poland.

 The closing date for applications: until the positions have been filled. Applicants should have writing and verbal communication skills in English.  All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Polish citizens and permanent residents will be given priority.
