Two positions as Associate Senior Lecturer/Assistant Professor in Computational Science

We are looking for up-and-coming researchers who want to conduct pioneering research to take up two positions as tenure-track Assistant Professor in Computational Science. Computational Science research is conducted across the Faculty of Science and organised in research clusters at all departments. In addition, such research is also carried out at the Institute of Advanced Neutron and X‑ray Science (LINXS), hosted by the Faculty of Science, and at the large‑scale neutron and X‑ray research facilities ESS and MAX IV. The Faculty of Science has a strategic ambition to build and further expand the field of computational science. To date, this effort has included the establishment of a Master’s programme in Computational Science as well as a doctoral subject in Computational Science. The Faculty of Science research school COMPUTE offers courses and activities for PhD students in computational science. In addition, Lund University provides access to local and national e‑infrastructure for high‑performance computing and data management. Computational Science is broadly defined as research that applies and develops methods for advanced computation with the aim of addressing research problems in the natural sciences, engineering, or medicine. This may include, for example, the integration and development of models, as well as advanced computational and data‑analysis methods and software, including simulation, modelling, and data management. To strengthen the field of computational science at the Faculty of Science, we are now advertising two positions as Assistant Professor (tenure‑track). In order to build a strong and sustainable research programme, it is important that the applicant’s research can be linked to research environments and subject areas that are already established or currently under development at the Faculty of Science. Applicants are therefore encouraged to contact relevant research environments within the Faculty of Science. Please refer to the link to the application portal Varbi for more details.
