SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL, ENVIRONMENTAL AND MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES

Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Physics

Salary:   	Level B $76,920 - $90,680 pa
Level C $93,428 - $107,187 pa 

The starting date for this position is negotiable.

The School encompasses the disciplines of Chemistry, Geography, Mathematics &
Statistics, and Physics & Oceanography.  Physics is taught via the broad themes
of astronomy, materials, atmospheric physics and remote sensing.  At the
undergraduate level, teaching is directed largely to courses in the Science and
Engineering degrees.  The School’s current areas of research strength in
experimental Physics include Advanced Materials (magnetism, low temperature
techniques, neutron scattering, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and applications using
radioisotope probes and tracers), Astronomy and Astrophysics (with a focus on
star formation) and Lower Atmosphere Physics (remote sensing of atmospheric
boundary layer winds and turbulence). Applicants for this position should have
a higher degree in Physics or a related discipline (or equivalent experience),
and a demonstrated record of excellence in research and publication in one of
the above three areas.  Other essential requirements are: a demonstrated
ability to teach both introductory and specialist Physics courses at
undergraduate and postgraduate levels; excellent oral and written communication
skills; demonstrated ability to work positively and cooperatively in a teaching
and research environment; knowledge and understanding of equity and diversity
principles; knowledge and commitment to occupational health and safety
responsibilities.  Willingness to develop Physics courses using flexible
delivery techniques and a potential to exploit existing research infrastructure
would also be an advantage.
