Assistant Professor-Atomic Physics Theory - Department of Physics

The Physics Department at the University of California, Berkeley is conducting search for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Theoretical Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) Physics. We welcome applicants from across the full range of theoretical AMO sub-fields, including quantum optics, quantum simulation, connections to quantum information science, emergent phenomena and entangled systems, precision measurement and tests of fundamental physics, ultracold molecules and chemistry, ultrafast optics, and related areas. Candidates with the potential for both fundamental contributions to theory and strong synergy with experimental AMO research are particularly encouraged to apply. Berkeley Physics is conducting two other tenure-track faculty searches. If your research area overlaps with another search, candidates should submit applications to each relevant search separately. Please note that applications cannot be transferred between searches. Berkeley Physics and its partners are committed to establishing cultures that nurture scientific identity and remove barriers to entry to strengthen pathways into careers. To that end, we strive to work and learn together in a positive and inclusive environment. Please visit UC Berkeley Physics' Equity & Inclusion website for more information. Berkeley Physics has a long history of excellence in teaching, research, and service, as well as a culture that values and promotes interdisciplinarity. It has a compelling record of national and global engagement, and benefits from strong relationships with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and other research labs and industry. UC Berkeley values the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples, single parents, or those who may have taken time off for family reasons. For information about potential relocation to Berkeley, or career needs of accompanying partners and spouses, please visit the Office for Faculty Equity and Welfare's website". Applicants must have a Ph.D. (or equivalent international degree) or be enrolled in a Ph.D. or equivalent international degree-granting program at the time of application. #J-18808-Ljbffr University of California at Berkeley
