Open Faculty Positions
The UT Department of Physics and Astronomy has openings for an Assistant Professor in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics and an Associate/Full Professor Position Neutron Scattering for Quantum Materials. See details below.
The Department of Physics and Astronomy, in collaboration with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position, beginning August 1, 2021. The successful candidate will have a primary appointment in the Department of Physics and Astronomy with potentially a joint appointment in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. This search aims to strengthen our efforts in the understanding, characterization, and development of new quantum materials, which requires tight collaboration between the two departments. Additional hires in the areas of quantum materials and/or quantum information are anticipated.
Candidates should have a PhD in physics or a closely related field and an exceptional research record in the areas of theoretical topological quantum materials including topological superconductors, dynamics and manipulation of quantum systems, solid state implementation of quantum information, and quantum device physics. The successful candidate will establish an externally-funded research program, provide interdisciplinary training for graduate students and postdocs, and contribute to the teaching mission of both departments.
Applicants should upload their CV, list of publications, description of research and teaching experience, and proposed research program at https://apply.interfolio.com/80082. Three letters of reference should be uploaded separately. Only electronic applications will be considered. Acceptable file formats are .pdf or .docx. We will start reviewing applications by January 15, 2021.
The University of Tennessee is an EEO/AA/Title VI/Title IX/Section 504/ADA/ADEA institution in the provision of its education and employment programs and services. All qualified applicants will receive equal consideration for employment and admission without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, sex, pregnancy, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, physical or mental disability, genetic information, veteran status, and parental status.
