The position is available at the Department of Physics, under the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Oslo. The position is associated to the Electronics research group in the field of Electronics Circuit Design (Analog and Digital).
Job description
The group is engaged in two major R&D programs; CERN-related instrumentation and instrumentation for space physics (sounding rockets and satellites). In both programs, “Intelligent Sensors and Embedded Systems" characterizes the projects and the teaching of our Master's and PhD students. The Electronics group is involved in development of sensors, electronics, integration, packaging technology and software development, from R&D to complete systems. With insight in applied physics and electrical engineering our candidates are in large demand by the industry.
Programmable Microelectronics in the form of microcontrollers, DSPs, CPLD and FPGA forms the foundation for the Electronics group's R&D work towards new and advanced sensors. The applicant should master as many as possible of these technologies, and should be able to provide guidance and training in programmable microelectronics. Knowledge of radiation effects to electronic circuits and sensors is desirable.
It is expected that the person appointed to this position should strengthen the cooperation between the Electronics group and research projects at other groups, internal as well as external to the Department of Physics. The candidate should take a leading role in the existing R&D projects in those cooperations, and in time take initiatives to new projects.
Qualifications
To qualify for appointment as Associate Professor, the applicant must have documented scientific work equivalent to a doctorate, and several years of post-doctoral experience. Besides taking an active part in the research activities at the Department, the successful applicant is expected to supervise PhD and master students. Teaching duties will include undergraduate as well as graduate courses in physics with special empasis on Electronic Circuit Design. Good knowledge of analog circuitry, unipolar and bipolar components is essential for the department’s teaching curriculum in electronics.
The teaching language of undergraduate courses is mainly Norwegian (Scandinavian) whereas for the graduate courses both Norwegian (Scandinavian) and English are used. The position may also involve administrative duties according to current regulations by the Department or Faculty. Assessing the applicants, the main emphasis will be placed on the relevant submitted scientific works.
