Norway : PhD position in experimental surface physics

One PhD position within experimental surface physics is available at Department of Physics, NTNU. The research activity is directed to scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and synchrotron photoelectron spectroscopy investigations of surfaces and interfaces with emphasis on model systems for catalysis and energy applications. Current research topics include palladium based systems for hydrogen permeation and nanoscale metal oxide structures applied for solar cells, gas sensors, photo catalytic devices and in heterogeneous catalysis. The synchrotron experiments are performed at facilities abroad. The group has strong collaboration with researchers at the universities of Uppsala and Lund as well as with other departments at NTNU.

PhD fellowships at NTNU are normally awarded for a total of 3 years with the possibility of until 1 year extension with 25 % teaching duties.

The position is organized at the Department of Physics. Currently, there are 26 professors, 10 associate professors, 7 adjunct professors, 55 PhD research fellows and 25 postdoctoral positions appointed at the Department of Physics.

The current research fields at the Department includes optics, energy and environmental physics, didactic physics, biophysics and medical technology, condensed matter physics, surface science, nanotechnology and theoretical physics.

The successful candidate will hold a university degree (Master of Science or equivalent) in physics. Candidates with experience in experimental physics will be preferred.

Further information can be obtained from Professor Anne Borg, Department of Physics, NTNU, Tel. +47 73593413, e-mail: Anne.Borg@ntnu.no .

The regulations for PhD programmes at NTNU state that a Master degree or equivalent with at least 5 years of studies and an average grade of A or B within a scale of A-E for passing grades (A best) for the two last years of the MSc is required. Candidates from universities outside Norway are kindly requested to send a Diploma Supplement or a similar document, which describes in detail the study and grade system and the rights for further studies associated with the obtained degree.

The appointment of the PhD will be made according to Norwegian guidelines for universities and university colleges and to the general regulations regarding university employees. Applicants must agree to participate in organized doctoral study programs within the period of the appointment and have to be qualified for the PhD-study. A contract will be drawn up regarding the period of appointment and work-related duties.

The national labour force must reflect the composition of the population to the greatest possible extent. It is therefore a major political objective to achieve a balance of age and gender and to recruit persons with an immigrant background. Immigrants are encouraged to apply for this post. NTNU wants to increase the proportion of women in its scientific posts. Women are encouraged to apply.

The start salary for the PhD research fellow is set at level 45, NOK 355 400 (before tax) in the Norwegian state salary scale. 2% of the salary will be deducted at source as a mandatory premium to the Norwegian State Pension Fund.

Applications with CV and other relevant documents should be submitted electronically through www.jobbnorge.no . Preferably we want the attachments in one file.

The reference number of the position is NT-80/09
