Faculty of Science
The Faculty of Science consists of six Departments: Biology, Pharmaceutical
Sciences, Information and Computing Sciences, Physics and Astronomy,
Chemistry and Mathematics. The Faculty is home to 3500 students and nearly
750 staff and is internationally renowned for the quality of its research.
The Faculty's academic programmes reflect developments in today's society.
The appointments are within the Departments of Chemistry and Physics and
Astronomy.
Soft Condensed Matter group
Soft condensed matter systems are materials which deform easily under the
influence of external fields such as electric fields, shear or gravity. They
contain structures with length scales that are much larger than atomic or
molecular dimensions, and display dynamics that are much slower.
Nevertheless, their structure and dynamics are still governed by thermal
fluctuations. We study the physics of soft matter model systems, mostly
colloids, and, using these insights, fabricate new mesostructured materials
from them. Our research tools consist of confocal microscopy, scattering
methods, colloid synthesis, computer simulations, and theory. The group is
part of the Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science which has a focus on
colloids, nanophotonics and catalysis and applies its fundamental knowledge
in the area of sustainability (DINS; www.uu.nl/science/Debye). For more
information, please visit our website (http://www.colloid.nl/).
Utrecht University and the Faculty of Science solicit applications for 9
positions. The appointments are part of the Dutch Sector Plan for Physics
and Chemistry at Utrecht University and are initially until 31 December
2016.
1. Assistant Professor in Chemistry: Catalysis, Colloids or Structural
Biology
2. Full Professor in Molecular and Structural Biology
3. Assistant professor in Scanning Probe Microscopy
4. Full Professor in Organic Hybrid Materials
5. Assistant Professor in Soft Condensed-Matter Theory
6. Assistant Professor in Theoretical Elementary-Particle Physics
7. Associate/Assistant Professor in Hard Condensed-Matter Theory
8. Assistant Professor in Computer Simulations
9. Assistant Professor Nano-imaging with electron microscopy
Assistant Professor in Computer Simulations (0,8 - 1,0 fte)
Job description
The successful candidate is expected to focus on modeling and predicting
macroscopic properties of (soft) condensed matter systems, either by quantum
(e.g., chemical and catalytic reactions, molecular adsorption, charge
transport ), atomistic, or (preferably) multiscale approaches that merge
quantum mechanical, molecular mechanical, and mesoscale levels. Researchers
with experience in hybrid Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics (QM/MM),
density functional theory (DFT) Car-Parrinello approaches, coarse-grained
particle/solvent methods to describe hydrodynamics (Multiparticle collision
dynamics, stochastic rotation dynamics, lattice Boltzmann, or dissipative
particle dynamics), or multiscale modeling techniques are encouraged to
apply. Research in the SCM group is lead by Profs. Dr. Ir. M. Dijkstra and
Dr. A. van Blaaderen.
Qualifications
The candidate has a proven track record in academic teaching and research in
the area of computational science and/or computer simulations, and has shown
the ability to raise research funds on the National (Dutch) and
international (EU) level. The candidate has a PhD in Physics or Chemistry.
Excellent communication skills enable the candidate to motivate both
students and staff. The candidate is expected to be an active member of the
Debye Institute, and of the national and international soft condensed matter
community.
Teaching at Utrecht University involves contributing to the curriculum of
the Department of Chemistry and Physics & Astronomy at the Bachelor’s and
Master’s levels. Courses after the second year Bachelor curriculum are
taught in English.
Terms of employment
The candidate is offered a full-time position initially until 31 December
2016.
The salary is dependent on qualifications and experience (salary scale 10 /
12). The gross salary is in the range between € 2,861,- and maximum €
4,970,- per month.
The salary is supplemented with a holiday bonus of 8% and an end-of-year
bonus of 8,3% per year. In addition we offer: a partially paid parental
leave, flexible employment conditions and a pension scheme. Conditions are
based on the Collective Labour Agreement Dutch Universities. The research
group will provide the candidate with necessary support on all aspects of
the project. More information is available on the website.
Further details
Are you interested? For more information please contact Prof. Dr. Ir. M.
Dijkstra telephone: +31 30 253 3270, e-mail: m.dijkstra1 en uu.nl or Prof. Dr.
A. van Blaaderen, telephone: +31 30 253 2204, e-mail: a.vanblaaderen en uu.nl.
How to apply
Please submit your application together with a curriculum vitae, a list of
publications, and a brief statement of present and future research interests
to Science.PenO en uu.nl before 1 August 2011. Please refer to vacancy number:
63104.
To increase the proportion of female scientists/professors, Utrecht
University specifically encourages female candidates to apply.

The Faculty's academic programmes reflect developments in today's society.
The appointments are within the Departments of Chemistry and Physics and
Astronomy.
Over the last decade the Institute for Theoretical Physics has focused its
research activities. The two central themes pertain to Theoretical
Elementary-Particle Physics and Quantum Matter. The first one deals with
String Theory, Quantum Gravity and Standard-Model Physics. The second one
deals with Quantum or Hard Condensed-Matter Physics. In addition to these
two major, highly intertwined, areas of research, two new parallel lines of
research have been introduced in recent years, namely Cosmology and Soft
Condensed Matter. These structural changes were motivated by both
international and local experimental developments and the strong belief that
a relatively broad orientation of the Institute is beneficial to both
research and education.

Assistant professor in Soft Condensed-Matter Theory (0,8 fte - 1,0 fte)
Job description
We are looking for a theoretical physicist in the field of Soft Condensed
Matter or Complex Fluids. This field, which is actively pursued
theoretically and experimentally at Utrecht University, focuses on a range
of mostly classical condensed-matter systems including colloids,
surfactants, (bio-)polymers, liquid crystals, ionic liquids and granular
matter. Phenomena and topics of interest involve, amongst others, phase
transitions, self-assembly, pattern formation, glass-formation, flow, and
non-equilibrium dynamics. The successful tenure-tracker is supposed to
initiate an independent line of research, preferably in close collaboration
with the experimental and simulation groups in the Debye Institute for
Nanomaterials Science (www.uu.nl/science/Debye) and with the current
soft-matter researchers within the Institute for Theoretical Physics.
