As part of the second phase of the Scottish Universities Physics Alliance (SUPA), we are seeking to expand our activities by appointing outstanding researchers to six faculty positions: three at Professorship/ Readership level, and three at a Lecturership level.  Applicants for the Lecturer positions should have a strong track record in publishing internationally leading research, and a clear vision of how their work would complement our existing experimental and theoretical research strengths.  Applicants for the Chair/Reader positions should have, in addition, strong records of scientific leadership and a proven ability to secure major research-funding awards and to establish and sustain national and international collaborations. 

Applications are welcomed from theoretical and experimental physicists in the broad areas of condensed matter physics and photonics (including biophotonics).  Applications should include a covering letter stating the level of appointment being sought, a one-page summary of research achievements to date, a one-page statement of the applicant’s vision for his/her research at St Andrews and a full curriculum vitae including a list of refereed publications together with contact details for three referees.

We will begin processing applications on Monday 17th September 2012 and so applications should be received by Friday 14th September 2012.
