Position Description


The Department of Physics at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for a tenure track faculty position in Theoretical Particle Physics or Cosmology at the Assistant Professor level. UC Santa Cruz values diversity, equity, and inclusion and is committed to hiring faculty who will work to promote these values. Areas of research in the Physics Department include particle physics, astrophysics, biophysics, applied physics, materials science, and condensed matter physics. Candidates with a strong record of publication in the field of theoretical particle physics or cosmology and with a strong commitment to research and teaching are encouraged to apply.

The selected candidate is expected to establish a vigorous research program in theoretical particle physics and/or cosmology within the Physics Department. The selected candidate will be expected to teach Physics courses and mentor students at the undergraduate and graduate levels and to perform service to the Department and to the University.

UC Santa Cruz is a Hispanic-Serving Institution with a high proportion of first-in-family students. To be considered, candidates must demonstrate an understanding of the barriers facing traditionally underrepresented groups and describe their experience and future plans to promote equity and inclusion in teaching, mentoring, and professional activities. These can take a variety of forms such as, but not limited to, effective pedagogical strategies used for the educational advancement of students in underrepresented groups; demonstrated contributions to the advancement of access and equal opportunity in education; and participation in activities that support the recruitment, retention, and success of scholars and students. Activities promoting equity and inclusion at UC Santa Cruz will be recognized as important university service during the faculty promotion process.

The chosen candidate will be expected to sign a statement representing that they are not the subject of any ongoing investigation or disciplinary proceeding at their current academic institution or place of employment, nor have they in the past ten years been formally disciplined at any academic institution/place of employment. In the event the candidate cannot make this representation, they will be expected to disclose in writing to the hiring Dean the circumstances surrounding any formal discipline that they have received, as well as any current or ongoing investigation or disciplinary process of which they are the subject. (Note that discipline includes a negotiated settlement agreement to resolve a matter related to substantiated misconduct.)
