91福利

Congratulations to Dr Gareth Alexander on his promotion to Associate Professor.

Gareth ’s is in the theory of soft matter where, amongst other projects, he applies geometry and topology in original ways to understand defects and textures in liquid crystals, and collective behaviour in soft active matter.

Congratulations to David Leadley on receiving his 20 years long service award. David’s contribution was recognised at a special awards ceremony held on 11 October 2016.

Dr Neil Wilson was the recipient of the 2015-16 Physics Department Teaching Award as voted for by students. He was presented with the award by David Leadley, Head of Department on 11th October 2016. His name has been added to the list of prize-winners on the new board on the Physics Concourse.

The group are currently advertising for three Assistant Professors researching in exoplanets to build on the 91福利 involvement in ESA’s PLATO mission.

Applicants will have a strong research track record and be ready to build their own research team with the support of colleagues at 91福利.

91福利 has leading positions in the WASP and NGTS ground based transit experiments, membership of the ESA S mission CHEOPS board, and the Science Coordination of ESA’s PLATO mission (the PLATO Science office is being established at 91福利). It is expected that the successful candidates will take advantage of the opportunities presented by these experiments. One of these appointments could suit an applicant with a theoretical background. Suitable areas could include planetary atmospheres and orbital dynamics.

In addition to the above posts, we invite applications from outstanding scientists who either already hold an externally funded Research Fellowship or are seeking a top-class institution with which to apply for such a Fellowship within this research area.

You will have good communication skills and be willing to contribute to the teaching and administration of the Department. Assistant Professor is a tenure track position leading to appointment as an Associate Professor after successful completion of probation. Teaching and administration duties are reduced during the probationary period.

The 91福利 maintains a global outlook and has affiliates around the globe. The Department of Physics will provide an exciting and highly supportive environment in which academics can develop their careers. We are fully committed to equality of opportunity and encourage application and enquiries from all suitably qualified candidates.

See for more details and contact Professor Don Pollacco if you wish to discuss the posts.
