We are looking for a tenure track candidate with an experimental, theoretical or numerical background to work on one or more of the following topics:
- Lightning and upper atmospheric discharges.
- Space weather and its effects on earth.
- Discharges for environmental applications.
- Discharges for circular energy.
You will be working as an independent PI within the group Elementary Processes in Gas Discharges (EPG,
https://www.tue.nl/en/research/research-groups/elementary-processes-in-gas-discharges/). This group works on a variety of plasma related topics, ranging from the ones mentioned above, to more high-tech industrial oriented applications and plasma medicine. Experimental work is done using state-of-the art laser diagnostics, while our numerical efforts are mostly focused around our own Plasimo plasma simulation framework.
This group is embedded within the department of Applied Physics and Science Education at Eindhoven University of Technology. This department has groups working in three large clusters: Fluids, Bio and Soft Matter, Plasma and Beams and Nano, Quantum and Photonics. EPG is part of the Plasma and Beams cluster.
The vacancy is open for an Assistant Professor, either tenure track or tenured, depending on the experience of the candidate. Female candidates are explicitly invited to apply.
- You will be responsible for setting up and driving your own independent research program, by generating funding, and supervising/coaching students at the bachelor/master/PhD level.
- You will be teaching at the Applied Physics Bachelor and Master level.
- You will contribute to the success of the research group, department, and associated institutes by initiating new internal and external collaborations and proactive participation.
