Faculty Positions

Call for expression of interest for Faculty positions in Physics at the University of Pisa, Italy.

The Department of Physics of the University of Pisa (https://www.df.unipi.it/en/) is an internationally recognized center for scientific research and advanced education in Physics and in its interdisciplinary applications. To enhance our academic program, we are seeking scientists with an outstanding record of high impact research and scientific leadership.

The Department of Physics invites expressions of interest in view of the possible activation of permanent positions at the Associate and/or Full Professor level from any fields in Physics, covered through a direct call procedure.

• Recipients of European Research Council (ERC) grant.

The successful candidates will be expected to actively contribute to the Department development, by excellent teaching and participation in large-scale and highly competitive grant applications.

Teaching may be delivered in Italian or in English. Although knowledge of Italian is not a prerequisite, it is expected that hired candidates will develop, over the course of the first two years upon recruitment, a level of knowledge adequate to allow an active participation in all the activities of the Department.

Applications must be submitted electronically at this link not after December 31st 2024. Applicants are requested to submit a brief CV, a list of publications, and a research statement.

The Department of Physics is committed to increasing the gender balance of its faculty and particularly welcomes applications from qualified women.
