Associate Professor in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry

UiT The Arctic University of Norway•Tromsø

The position A position as Associate Professor in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry is available at the Department of Chemistry. The position is affiliated with the Theoretical Chemistry Group. We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated researcher to strengthen and consolidate our ongoing research activity in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry and the corresponding educational curriculum in computational chemistry and modelling at the Department of Chemistry. The position offers a unique opportunity to be part of an internationally recognized group and to develop collaborations with related research environments within the University, at other Norwegian institutions and internationally. Department of Chemistry (IK), located at the Tromsø campus, is one of six departments within the Faculty of Science and Technology, and currently offers education at the Bachelor’s, Master’s, and doctoral levels. The department provides access to advanced core facilities and research infrastructure, including mass spectrometry, HPLC/UPLC, NMR, X-ray crystallography, protein production, peptide synthesis, biomolecular modeling, and it has access to the national high performance computing infrastructure provided by Sigma2. The workplace is at UiT in Tromsø. You must be able to start in the position in Tromsø within a reasonable time, after receiving the offer. The position’s field of research or work The announced position involves teaching, research, and administrative responsibilities. The successful candidate will strengthen an internationally competitive and active research group in theoretical and computational chemistry, with particular attention to the emerging field of quantum technology. The candidate will engage in scientific collaborations and cultivate professional networks at national and international levels in academia and if possible, with the private sector. Emphasis will be given to method development in theoretical chemistry and computational material modeling. We expect the position holder to develop grant applications and secure external funding to support research and educational activities. The position holder is also expected to contribute to the education at the department. This includes teaching undergraduate and graduate courses (primarily in general, physical, inorganic and theoretical chemistry), supervising students at all levels, disseminating research to the public and engagement with subject-specific pedagogical literature by participation in collegial teaching development activities.
