The Department of Physics is a dynamic and growing academic department in the Faculty of Science at the University of Cape 
Town and seeks to fill two permanent academic (teaching plus research) positions at the rank of Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, or 
Associate Professor.  

We seek to strengthen our present and future research experimental activities within both the ALICE and ATLAS collaborations at 
CERN, through the UCT-CERN Research Centre.  UCT is committed to the detector upgrade projects for both collaborations.  For 
the ATLAS ITk, the UCT-ATLAS group leads the design and fabrication of the polymoderator neutron shielding and contributes to 
the development and production of the EoS electronics readout cards. The ALICE group is currently leading the software 
development for the Transition Radiation Detector and, together with the other South African groups, will also contribute to the 
phase IIb upgrade of the ALICE Detector.  The Department has close links with the Centre for High Performance Computing, and 
iThemba LABS national accelerator facility. 

Requirements at Lecturer Level: 
• A PhD in Physics, or equivalent; 
• A research track record in experimental high energy particle physics; 
• An ability to teach at both introductory and senior undergraduate level (including service courses and undergraduate 
laboratories) and give specialist lectures at Honours (4th year) level. 

Selection at Senior Lecturer will be informed by evidence of: 
• Teaching experience at the tertiary level, and ability to contribute to curriculum development; 
• Successful supervision of postgraduate students at Honours, Masters and/or PhD level; 
• A research track record that demonstrates recognition, experience (e.g. postdoctoral, industry), productivity and 
creativity; 
• Success in the solicitation of funding for research; 
• Experience in departmental-level administration (or equivalent). 

Selection at Associate Professor will be informed by evidence of: 
• Extensive high-quality teaching experience; 
• Involvement and innovation in academic curriculum development; 
• Successful supervision experience at both the Masters and PhD level; 
• International recognition and leadership in a research area within experimental high energy particle physics; 
• Active contribution to Faculty/University-level administration.
