The Department of Physics at the University of Cape Town seeks to fill two permanent academic (teaching plus research) positions at the rank of Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, or Associate Professor to strengthen the 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.
