The Niels Bohr Institute - University of Copenhagen
Faculty Renewal Program
As part of its program for faculty renewal, the Niels Bohr Institute
(NBI) announces the availability of an associate professorship in
theoretical particle physics. The position will be open from December
1, 2005. The NBI constitutes the departments of physics, astronomy,
geophysics and biophysics of the University of Copenhagen with a
faculty of 65. Details of the research activities of the institute may
be found on the home page www.nbi.ku.dk.
The Theoretical Particle group at NBI has a permanent staff of 7, and
in addition has on the average 10 visitors/non-permanent staff. The
associate professor must have an outstanding independent research
profile which can support and complement the current activities in
theoretical particle physics, and should have a documented excellent
scientific production at an international level. The candidate should
have a strong interest in all facets of university teaching, including
the supervision of MSC and PhD students. The successful candidate must
be able to teach undergraduate courses in Danish within two years of
appointment.
In accordance with the Ministerial Circular on Job Structure,
appointment to the position of associate professor requires documented
scientific production at an international level and documented teaching
qualifications. In the event that the applicant lacks sufficient
teaching experience through an appointment as assistant professor or
acquired corresponding teaching experience, the appointment will be
probationary for a period of up to 1½ years.
Terms of appointment and salary are set by agreement between the
Ministry of Finance and AC (The Danish Confederation of Professional
Associations) on Academics in the State. In addition to the salary
based on seniority, the successful applicant will receive an annual
pensionable supplement of 72,213.79. Negotiation for further supplement
will be possible.

It should be noted that:
- The applicants will be notified regarding the composition of the assessment committee.
- The assessment committee may require supplementary documentation, which the applicant must then provide.
- The assessment committee may base the assessment on any
publication on the publication list. While the committee's assessment
cannot be based on letters of recommendation, which are not regarded as
scientific material, these can be considered in the Dean's final
appointment decision.
- Applicants may be summoned for an interview and/or a trial lecture.
- When the assessment committee's report is submitted, each
applicant will receive only that part of the report relating to
him/herself. Information about other applicants is confidential,
