DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS - OPEN RANK FACULTY POSITION

EXPERIMENTAL CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS

GRAINGER COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS URBANA-CHAMPAIGN

The Department of Physics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign seeks highly qualified candidates to fill a full-time tenured or tenure-track position at any rank. Exceptional scientists from any subfield of experimental condensed matter physics are encouraged to apply. The Department of Physics is committed to building a culturally diverse educational environment, with a focus on diversifying the faculty. We are seeking faculty who can teach courses spanning introductory to graduate physics while contributing to the diversity and excellence in our programs and courses through their research, teaching and service. Senior and mid-career faculty as well as early-career scientists are encouraged to apply.

Successful candidates are expected to establish and maintain an active and independent research program, teach effectively at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and provide service to the department, the university, and the profession. Ideal candidates include those who demonstrate evidence of a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion through research, teaching, and/or service endeavors.

Qualified senior candidates may also be considered for tenured Associate Professor and Full Professor positions as part of the Grainger Engineering Breakthroughs Initiative. Over the next few years, more than 35 new endowed professorships and chairs will be established in areas of strategic interest to The Grainger College of Engineering. Such areas include, but are not limited to, bioengineering, big data, quantum information, robotics and machine learning. More information about the Grainger Initiative can be found at grainger.illinois.edu/research/initiatives/gebi.

The University of Illinois Department of Physics has strong program in theoretical and experimental Condensed Matter Physics, the top ranked in the US. The Condensed Matter group at Illinois has a long and strong tradition going back to the work of John Bardeen and, more recently, of Anthony J. Leggett. Research at Illinois also has a long tradition of close collaborations in the Physics Department, particularly in High Energy Theory, Atomic and Molecular Physics and Biological Physics. Current active research areas include Strongly Correlated Quantum Systems and Superconductors, Topological Phases of Matter, Large-Scale Quantum Entanglement in Condensed Matter, Quantum Chaos and Non-Equilibrium Phenomena, Computational Physics of Electronic Structure of Quantum Materials, and Classical Systems out of Equilibrium.

Please visit physics.illinois.edu for more information on the condensed matter physics group, including the Illinois Materials Research Laboratory (MRL) and the Illinois Quantum Information Science and Technology Center (IQUIST).

A doctoral degree in Physics or a related field is required at the start date, and salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Full consideration will be given to applications received by November 15, 2022. Early applications are strongly encouraged as interviews may take place during the application period, but a hiring decision will not be made until after November 15.
