Position Description
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, https://physics.unc.edu/ seeks to hire a tenure-track Assistant Professor working in theoretical high-energy physics with an emphasis on particle physics beyond the Standard Model, quantum field theory in curved spacetime, or nonperturbative field theory. We seek an outstanding physicist who is prepared to lead a broad and ambitious research program that will enhance fundamental theoretical physics at UNC while complementing our department’s existing strengths in areas such as cosmology, gravitational physics, quantum field theory, and neutrino physics. We are particularly interested in candidates who would contribute to the mission of UNC’s CoSMS Institute, https://cosms.unc.edu/. We seek someone who is eager to teach and mentor students in a way that promotes student success at a public university with a growing undergraduate student body and a significant proportion of first-generation college students, https://www.unc.edu/story/first-generation-students-at-carolina/. The successful candidate will be comfortable teaching courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels as part of our departmental community, https://physics.unc.edu/community/. Educational requirements: Ph.D. in physics or related field Preferred Qualifications and Experience: At least two years of postdoctoral experience working in theoretical physics is preferred. Application materials: Applicants must provide a full CV including a publication list, a cover letter, a research statement and a teaching/mentoring statement. Applicants should also arrange for three reference letters to be submitted with their application. Candidates selected as finalists will be asked to provide the contact information for a fourth reference who can also provide a recommendation letter. Contact: Adrienne Erickcek (erickcek@physics.unc.edu) Letters of Reference should be sent to: https://unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/307644 More Information: https://unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/307644We are not accepting applications for this job through AcademicJobsOnline.Org right now.
