Position Description
Tenure-track Faculty
Positions in Experimental and Theoretical Physics
The Department of Physics invites applications for several tenure-track
faculty positions at the Assistant Professor level. An applicant must possess a
PhD degree in physics or related field and provide evidence of strong research productivity. Appointment at Associate Professor level or
above will also be considered for candidates with exceptional records of
research excellence and academic leadership.
We seek candidates in experimental quantum matter and quantum information, including quantum and low-dimensional materials, materials with strong electronic correlations, cold atoms, quantum optics, and quantum enabled technologies. The theoretical areas targeted are quantum science (preferably with a focus on atomic, molecular, or optical methods), statistical physics, neural networks, and data analytics. Candidates are also sought in experimental and theoretical wave functional materials and soft and living matter.
Appointees are expected to assume teaching responsibilities
for undergraduate and graduate courses, and to conduct vigorous research
programs. Further information about the Department is available at http://physics.ust.hk.
Starting salary will be highly competitive and commensurate
with qualifications and experience. Fringe benefits including medical and
dental benefits, annual leave and housing benefits will be provided where
applicable. The initial appointment prior to tenure will normally be on
three-year contract terms. A gratuity will be payable upon successful
completion of a contract.
