at the Department of Physics. Closing date: 2 December 2016.

The Department of Physics is large and supports a broad range of basic research in experimental and theoretical physics. It has about 230 employees of which 90 are PhD students. Many have been internationally recruited. The Department is part of the AlbaNova University Center, which apart from the Department of Physics houses the Department of Astronomy, the Physics Departments and the Divison of Theoretical Chemistry at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), and the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (Nordita).

Atomic, molecular and chemical physics has been identified as one of the profile areas at Stockholm University. In this field there are broad and highly successful experimental as well as theoretical activities.

Subject/subject description
