Are you ready to dive into groundbreaking research in high magnetic fields? Are you eager to share and expand your knowledge? If so, join HFML-FELIX as an Associate or Full Professor at the Faculty of Science at Radboud University.
HFML-FELIX builds on a strong background in advanced spectroscopy in high magnetic fields and with intense infrared/THz radiation.
As an Associate or Full Professor of Science of High Magnetic Fields, you will develop your research programme and complement the institute’s research lines on correlated electron systems, magnetism, topological matter, 2D materials, semiconductors and their nanostructures, nanomaterials, and soft condensed matter. In your research you will use the extreme conditions created by the high magnetic fields (above 20 Tesla) to study, control and manipulate molecules and/or materials.
Researchers at HFML-FELIX use an array of experimental techniques in high magnetic fields, such as magneto-transport, magneto-optics, magnetisation and torque magnetometry, dilatometry, and infrared and ultrafast laser spectroscopy, to perform groundbreaking research on condensed matter systems and beyond. We will encourage you to develop new experimental techniques within your research line to further explore the unique possibilities of our facility, which will also strengthen our user programme.
Strong collaborations exist with experimental and theoretical groups within the Institute for Molecules and Materials, which covers a broad spectrum of research topics in biochemistry, organic chemistry, condensed matter and molecular physics. In your role, you will actively work on the acquisition of external funding and build a research group comprising postdoctoral research associates, PhD and undergraduate project students and, possibly, technicians.
As an Associate or Full Professor, you will lead an independent research group with an internationally competitive research programme that aligns with and enhances the capabilities of HFML-FELIX, acquire research funding, possibly in collaboration with external academic and/or industrial partners, and supervise and guide PhD candidates and scientific staff. Your teaching activities will be part of the Educational Institutes for Physics and Astronomy.
Within your field of expertise, you will actively contribute to our institute's user programme and collaborate with researchers within HFML-FELIX, the national HFML-FELIX partnership, as well as with national and international user groups.
ProfileWe seek an enthusiastic scientist with a convincing track record and the potential to conduct research with high magnetic fields and initiate a novel, internationally recognised research area within HFML-FELIX.
You will be appointed as a group leader at HFML-FELIX and as an Associate or Full Professor at the Faculty of Science at Radboud University.
We offer
Additional Employment ConditionsWork and science require good employment practices. This is reflected in Radboud University's primary and secondary employment conditions. You can make arrangements for the best possible work-life balance with flexible working hours, various leave arrangements and working from home. You are also able to compose part of your employment conditions yourself, for example, exchange income for extra leave days and receive a reimbursement for your sports subscription. And of course, we offer a good pension plan. You are given plenty of room and responsibility to develop your talents and realise your ambitions. Therefore, we provide various training and development schemes.
We areAt HFML-FELIX, a unique international research facility, our mission is to perform groundbreaking research by enabling molecules and materials to be taken to the extremes of modern-day technology, both in terms of (persistent) magnetic field strength and intense radiation in the infrared and terahertz (THz) range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Our scientists and engineers are closely working together to enable new scientific discoveries carried out by both external and in-house user groups using cutting-edge and innovative instrumentation. HFML-FELIX currently comprises six research groups covering a broad research portfolio within 4 different research topic lines ranging from condensed matter science to biomolecular chemistry. In addition, HFML-FELIX has a strong programme in magnet technology and free-electron laser technology and operates as a national partnership together with several national stakeholders.
As an NWO research institute, HFML-FELIX is part of a large national collaboration consisting of Radboud University, NWO (Dutch Research Council) and eight other Dutch universities. HFML-FELIX has its own International Scientific Advisory Committee and National Science Programme Council. Our team consists of professors, scientists, technicians, office staff, postdoctoral researchers, PhD candidates and undergraduate students. This ensures a diverse and innovative working culture.
