The call is for a theory group leader specifically. It is open to a broad range of topics, certainly including also nanophotonics, metamaterials, quantum systems, light-matter interactions, information-processing systems, etc. The deadline is July 3.

If you know potentially suitable candidates, we would be most indebted if you would forward this email to these candidates, or inform us.
Please feel also free to forward this message within your network.

All the best,

Ewold Verhagen

Advertisement summary:

Research institute AMOLF (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) is looking for a tenure-track group leader in the Theory of functional complex matter.
We are seeking candidates with a research program in the topics below, but we also welcome candidates with original proposals in related areas:

* Complex systems of physical, chemical, biological, and soft-robotic nature, and combinations thereof, including self-learning materials, energy conversion materials, photonic and mechanical metamaterials, and multi-cellular systems.
* Emergent behaviour, including autonomous locomotion, regeneration, adaptation, learning, chemical transformations, and information processing, involving non-equilibrium dynamics, stochasticity, non-linearity, and feedback.
* Machine Learning aided understanding and design, evolutionary computing, inverse design, simulations of collective behaviour.

The deadline for applications is July 3rd 2023. This date may be extended to ensure a diverse pool of applicants as AMOLF is highly committed to promoting diversity in the workplace and encourages applications from women and others at risk of discrimination.

For further information and to apply, please visit: amolf.nl/jobs/types/amolf-group-leader<http://amolf.nl/jobs/types/amolf-group-leader>.

You may also contact the AMOLF director Huib Bakker (h.bakker at amolf.nl<mailto:h.bakker at amolf.nl>), Sander Tans (s.tans at amolf.nl<mailto:s.tans at amolf.nl>), or any other AMOLF PI for details.

AMOLF is a world-leading interdisciplinary research institute focussed on the Physics of Functional Complex Matter, spanning the physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering disciplines. Central to the mission of AMOLF is to initiate promising new research directions. We offer a scientifically inspiring collaborative environment, state-of-the-art infrastructure and an interdisciplinary research program. AMOLF is located at the Science Park in Amsterdam, in close proximity of the University of Amsterdam and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

Our tenure track system is modeled on the US system, with similar independence and career perspectives, and with a generous start up package (investment and personnel). The Dutch funding system is particularly attractive for junior staff building up a new group, as there are a variety of substantial personal grants available for junior people. Successful candidates will be able to start a group as independent principal investigator, with a clear path to a permanent position after 5 years.
