Description

Applicants should have an undergraduate degree and a PhD in physics (or a cognate discipline), a strong record of relevant research, and must show evidence of enthusiasm and ability to teach a wide range of physics courses successfully at both undergraduates and master's level.

This work will include the delivery of existing courses, and the development of new teaching materials, lecture courses, examinations and laboratory classes.


Given the scope of this post, the teaching load of the appointee will be divided between the undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum teaching needs of the Department.


General contribution to the academic work of the Department of Physics and the University beyond teaching and research, will be commensurate with the appointee's interests and skills, and the requirements of the Department.

Application process

  • Curriculum Vitae (CV)
  • A list of up to ten papers where you have made the most significant personal contributions. We do not require a full list of your collaborative papers.
  • A research proposal of no longer than 3 pages, including a description as to how your research plans fit with existing Cavendish activities. It is not necessary to review the overall plans of existing research in the Biological & Soft Systems group except where they are directly relevant to your proposal.
  • A one page statement on your approach to teaching and how you believe you can contribute to the Department's teaching programme at undergraduate and graduate level.


Shortlisted applicants will be invited to visit Cambridge in a week to be confirmed during November 2023 to give a presentation and for informal discussions.

The formal interviews will also take place in November 2023.

The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
