FACULTY POSITION IN CONDENSED MATTER THEORY

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at California State University, Northridge, invites applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level in Condensed Matter Theory to begin Fall 2019. The search committee invites candidates from all areas of Theoretical (Computational) Condensed Matter. We are especially interested in candidates with a strong track-record in developing novel theoretical methods, algorithmic tools or numerical methods to study emergent phenomena in strongly correlated systems, topological quantum materials, or spintronics.

The successful candidate will join a rapidly developing, research intensive department with 21 full-time faculty members focusing on three main research areas: condensed matter physics, biophysics and astrophysics. It is anticipated that the University will provide start-up funds and reassigned time from teaching during the first three years of the appointment. The successful candidate will be expected to establish and maintain an independent, extramurally funded research program. Candidates must have a Ph.D. from an accredited University, with a strong record of research accomplishments. Candidates must be committed to excellence in teaching and mentoring a diverse population of undergraduate and graduate students.

To apply, please submit (1) a cover letter, (2) curriculum vitae, (3) summary of research and (4) teaching interests and (5) arrange for three letters of recommendation to be directly submitted to interfolio at http://apply.interfolio.com/57572. All inquiries should be sent to the Condensed Matter Theory Search Search Committee at physicssearch@csun.edu. Screening of complete applications will begin January 15, 2019. Priority will be given to complete applications received by this date, and the position will remain open until filled.

Filling the position is subject to budgetary considerations. At the time of appointment, the successful candidate, if not a U.S. citizen, must have authorization from the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services to work in the United States.
