Job description:
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA CRUZ
Department of Physics
Assistant Professor, Theoretical Particle Physics & Cosmology
The Department of Physics at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in theoretical high-energy physics, cosmology, or particle astrophysics. The theoretical particle and particle-astro physics/cosmology faculty currently includes Professors Anthony Aguirre, Michael Dine, Howard Haber, Stefano Profumo, and Emeritus Professor Joel Primack. The theory group is part of the Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics (SCIPP), which also sustains strong experimental and observational efforts in particle physics, high-energy astrophysics, and cosmology. SCIPP physicists play leading roles in the ATLAS experiment, the Fermi Large Area Telescope, CTA, the Dark Energy Survey, and LSST. Theorists and experimentalists maintain close connections with the Astronomy and Astrophysics Department and The University of California Observatories (UCO), headquartered at UC Santa Cruz.
The successful candidate should have a demonstrated ability to conduct independent research and potential for leadership in their sub-field. Candidates are expected to complement the existing experimental and theoretical strengths in the Department, to develop a vigorous research program, to supervise graduate students and their research, and to teach at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The successful candidate must be able to work with students, faculty and staff from a wide range of social and cultural backgrounds. We are especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through their research, teaching, and/or service.
RANK: Assistant Professor
SALARY: Commensurate with qualifications and experience, academic year (9-month) basis.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: A Ph.D. or equivalent foreign degree in physics or a closely related discipline and a demonstrated record of research and record of publications in theoretical high-energy physics, particle astrophysics, and/or cosmology.
POSITION AVAILABLE: July 1, 2017, with academic year beginning September 2017.
TO APPLY: Applications are accepted via the UCSC Academic Recruit online system and must include a letter of application, curriculum vitae (including a list of publications), research statement, teaching statement, and at least 3 but not more than 5 confidential letters of recommendation* evaluating the candidate’s scholarly contributions, potential for leadership, teaching, and other professional attributes. Applicants are invited to submit a statement addressing their contributions to diversity through research, teaching, and/or service. Documents/materials must be submitted as PDF files.
Apply at https://recruit.ucsc.edu/apply/JPF00397
Refer to Position #JPF00397-18 in all correspondence.
*All letters will be treated as confidential per University of California policy and California state law. For any reference letter provided via a third party (i.e., dossier service, career center), direct the author to UCSC’s confidentiality statement at http://apo.ucsc.edu/confstm.htm
CLOSING DATE: Review of applications will begin on December 1, 2016. To ensure full consideration, applications should be complete and letters of recommendation received by this date. The position will remain open until filled, but not later than 6/30/2017.
