A Postdoctoral fellowship position is available at the Department of Energy and Process Engineering. The appointment will run from 1^st September 2016, if possible. The position is for two years. The position is financed by the Research Council of Norway. Job description It is expected that the postdoctoral candidate will carry out theoretical research improving our understanding of the Casimir/van der Waals force in dielectric media, and will join our current activities at NTNU as well as those of our collaborating group at the University of Oslo, and also our long-term international partners. Our subjects under study in recent years include thermal corrections, Casimir friction, and repulsive effects in multilayer systems. Systems outside of thermal equilibrium are of interest for further study, as are Casimir torques and anisotropic systems. Even links to cosmological observations may be actual subjects. Qualifications The candidate must have a PhD or other corresponding education equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in a topic relevant for the position. As the candidate is intended to work in basic science, a good background in quantum field theory will be an advantage. Also, some experience with numerical work will be an advantage. We strive at obtaining a reasonable gender balance, and female candidates are encouraged to apply. A good command of English is necessary.

Postdoctor fellows are remunerated in code 1352, and are normally remunerated at wage level 57, gross NOK 483 400 before tax. The salary is adjusted according to the recent wage negotiations. There will be a 2 % deduction for superannuation. For further information about the position, contact Professor Iver Brevik, iver.h.brevik (at) ntnu.no. Please be aware that applications should not be sent to this email.
