About the position

At the Department of Materials Science and Engineering we have a vacancy for a Professor / Associate Professor in Material Science and Engineering (Atom Probe Tomography).

We are seeking a highly qualified candidate as professor or associate professor. A new state-of-the-art 3D Atom Probe instrument provides unique research opportunities.

The position will strengthen the research profile in materials characterization at the department towards a cross-disciplinary research activity in the field of 3D Atom Probe Tomography (APT) characterization.

The successful applicant will also contribute to teaching on MSc and PhD level in materials science and engineering with focus on materials.

The position reports to head of the department.

Work abstractJV_description

The Department has a variety of well-equipped research laboratories, and we have extensively been funding new experimental infrastructure during the recent years. The department is hosting the Norwegian national centre for Minerals and Materials Characterisation (MiMaC), co-hosting the Norwegian national centre for X-ray diffraction (REXC), in addition to being frequent users of the NTNU NanoLab, another national infrastructure, and NTNUs advanced analytical TEM instruments at the Trondheim node of the National Centre for Transmission Electron Microscopy (NorTEM). Our recently purchased 3D Atom Probe instrument is a part of the MiMaC-lab, and the Department has the ambition to develop a world-leading research environment in the field of APT.

The position is established in connection to the MiMaC national infrastructure and the establishment of an Atom Probe Tomography laboratory. The successful candidate is expected to initiate and coordinate projects to strengthen the existing research areas at the department, preferably within the Physical Metallurgy group, in collaboration with national and international partners and further develop training of BSc, MSc and PhD candidates in atom probe technology. A scientific collaboration with NTNU key users outside our own department (particularly from the departments of Physics and Chemistry) must be expected. The holder of this position will be scientifically responsible for the APT laboratory and related activities.

The position will contribute to teaching basic courses on BSc and MSc level and specialised courses in various electron microscopy and other material characterisation techniques at MSc and PhD level. There will be a specific responsibility for the development of teaching activities applying Atom Probe.

Qualification requirements

The applicant must have well documented scientific competence, preferably with hands-on operation experience of advanced APT instruments. The successful candidate will have a PhD in a relevant field and an excellent and relevant track record over the last five years of research. 

The research field of the candidate should contribute to strengthening the already ongoing research in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, preferably within the Physical Metallurgy group. In depth knowledge of other advanced material characterisation techniques will be considered an advantage. 

Applicants should show potential to initiate and develop a strong program of externally funded research and scholarships. Emphasis will be placed on scientific skills, collaboration skills, project management and coordination skills, and experience with supervision of BSc, MSc and PhD students.

Evaluation of the applicant will be based on documented material, including teaching experience at university level, pedagogical training, presentation of academic work, experience from supervision of students and PhD candidates, as well as other related skills.

Good communication skills in English,both written and orally, is a neccessity.

Other requirements: 

Employees who do not have formal qualifications in teaching at university level and who cannot provide documentation of equivalent qualifications must complete an approved pedagogical development programme within two years of appointment.
