The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Pittsburgh
(http://www.physicsandastronomy.pitt.edu/) invites applications for a new faculty member in
Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics. This appointment, which is subject to budgetary
approval, will be at the Assistant Professor level and will begin with the Fall Term 2023, or

department. There will be some preference given to applications of those working in the
following areas: Quantum Physics at the Interface of Physics, Quantum Information; Statistical
Physics and Dynamical Systems; Strongly Correlated Systems; Quantum Control and
Engineering in Novel Physical Systems; Quantum Simulations and Computations. The position
requires a Ph.D. in physics or a closely related area. All candidates should have the potential to
teach effectively at both the graduate and undergraduate levels and to attract external funding for
a creative, independent and broad-based research program.
Candidates from groups traditionally underrepresented in physics are strongly encouraged to
apply. One of the major strategic goals of the University of Pittsburgh is to “Embrace Diversity
