Assistant Professor Position in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics, U. of Tennessee

ASSISTANT PROFESSOR POSITION IN THEORETICAL CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS
THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Tennessee (UT) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the field of Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics. Candidates should have a PhD in Physics or another field closely related to Physics. The candidate is expected to have a strong research record in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics and is expected to develop a first-class, externally funded research program, to provide training for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, and to contribute to the teaching mission of the department at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. A strong interest in interacting with ongoing research programs at UT is highly desirable. The areas of research in Condensed Matter developed in the department include high critical temperature superconductivity, strongly correlated electrons, complex oxides, multiferroics, nanoscale superconductors, magnetic nanowires, non-equilibrium systems, oxide interfaces, topological insulators, quantum Hall states, and others, as well as the use of state-of-the-art computational techniques.

This appointment is expected to begin August 1, 2013.

The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is Tennessee's flagship research institution, a campus of choice for outstanding undergraduates, and a premier graduate institution. It benefits greatly from available computational resources such as the Kraken supercomputer and its close proximity to unique research facilities at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, including the Joint Institutes for Advanced Materials, Computational Sciences, and Neutron Sciences. The campus is located in one of the most beautiful areas of the country with easy access to miles of inland waterways, pristine state and national parks, diverse cultural opportunities, and a blend of convenient urban and rural living settings.

The University welcomes and honors people of all races, creeds, cultures, and sexual orientations, and values intellectual curiosity, pursuit of knowledge, and academic freedom and integrity. The Knoxville campus of the University of Tennessee is seeking candidates who have the ability to contribute in meaningful ways to the diversity and intercultural goals of the University. Applicants should send a CV, list of publications, a description of research and teaching experience, and of the proposed research program, and also arrange for at least three letters of reference to be submitted separately. ALL application materials should be submitted via email to Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics Search, Att. Prof. Elbio Dagotto, utphysicssearch@utk.edu. Only electronic applications will be considered and acceptable file formats are .pdf or .doc.

Review of applications will begin on December 1, 2012 and continue until the position is filled.
