Current Vacancies
TEACHING FELLOW (108813-0324)
The Department of Physics at the University of Warwick is one of the UK’s leading Physics Departments and has an outstanding reputation in both teaching and research. Four years ago, we started a Physics and Astrophysics degree pathway which has proven extremely popular with well-qualified students. We seek to appoint a full-time permanent Teaching Fellow primarily in support of this pathway.
The Teaching Fellow will be part of the diverse Astronomy & Astrophysics group and should expect a significant teaching load that includes delivering lectures, exam setting and marking, laboratory supervision and management (including our campus observatory), project supervision and small group tutorials. In addition, the Fellow may expect to be involved in outreach activities within the Department. Approximately 30% of their time will be available for the fellow to pursue their own interests and activities, within the remit of physics and astronomy and connecting with the interests of the Astronomy & Astrophysics group.
For informal enquiries, please contact Professor Danny Steeghs (d.steeghs@warwick.ac.uk).
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.
The post holder will be an excellent communicator capable of working effectively both independently and as part of a team. You will possess excellent planning and time management skills to ensure your teaching and project objectives are achieved effectively. The Fellow is expected to hold a PhD in a Physics-related discipline and have relevant teaching and research experience.
RESEARCH FELLOW (108915-0424)
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Ultrafast and Terahertz Photonics Group within the Department of Physics at the University of Warwick.
We are seeking to appoint a Research Fellow to undertake research as part of a project analysing the charge-carrier dynamics of metal halide perovskites for optoelectronic applications.
For informal enquiries, please contact Rebecca Milot via email: Rebecca.milot@warwick.ac.uk.
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.
We are looking for someone with a PhD in chemistry, physics, or a related field with a proven track record of research in the synthesis of metal halide perovskite thin films and experience in characterization with spectroscopic techniques.
RESEARCH FELLOW (108909-0324)
The Astronomy and Astrophysics Group at the University of Warwick seeks to appoint a Research Fellow working on exoplanet detection and characterisation using the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS) and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).
The NGTS facility is an array of twelve telescopes situated at the ESO Paranal Observatory in Chile (the site of the Very Large Telescope, VLT). The NGTS telescopes are optimised for exoplanet transit observations, matching the photometric precision of TESS. Our focus is on the discovery and characterisation of new long-period transiting exoplanets.
For informal enquiries, please contact Professor Peter Wheatley via email: p.j.wheatley@warwick.ac.uk.
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so. The successful applicant will be based at Warwick and will be responsible for scheduling observations and operating the NGTS facility, as well as planning and carrying out maintenance of the telescope array and associated software. You will also carry out research on NGTS and TESS data with the goal of discovering new long-period transiting exoplanets.
You will be an excellent communicator capable of working effectively both independently and as part of the wider NGTS team. You will also possess excellent planning and time management skills to ensure your research objectives are achieved effectively.
