Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Physics Department

Florida Atlantic University, Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Physics position.

The Department of Physics at FAU invites applications for a tenure track position at the Assistant Professor level to begin in Aug 2007. The Department of Physics is growing rapidly and we are seeking highly qualified candidates committed to a career in research and teaching.

We are particularly interested in building upon our experimental and theoretical strengths in biophysics and neuroscience.  These Departmental foci overlap with ongoing research thrusts in the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science (http://www.science.fau.edu/).  However, we will also consider applications from exceptional candidates in our department’s other research areas in Condensed Matter Physics, General Relativity, Astrophysics and Quantum Optics. 

The successful candidates will be expected to teach, conduct a vigorous research program, supervise Ph. D. Students and contribute to the development of the current research initiatives within the Physics Department. Women and minorities are especially encouraged to apply. Candidates must apply by letter and include curriculum vitae, list of publications, a statement of research interests, and arrange for at least three letters of recommendation.

The package should be sent to Chair of the Search Committee, Department of Physics, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL 33431-0991.  Material received by January 10, 2006 will receive full consideration.  For further details e-mail to physics@fau.edu or visit our Web page (http://physics.fau.edu). Positions are subject to anticipated availability of funds. FAU is an equal opportunity, equal access institution.
