The School of Applied and Engineering Physics (AEP) at Cornell University is seeking applications for tenure-track Assistant Professor. Interested candidates must apply online by November 15, 2023. Applications will begin to be evaluated starting after that date.
Candidates must be able to demonstrate the ability to develop a highly successful and internationally recognized independent research program and to participate effectively in teaching the core AEP physics curriculum at the advanced undergraduate level. Research areas of interest include biophysics and biotechnology, optics and photonics, nanoscience and nanotechnology, novel instrumentation methods, quantum information science and technology, renewable energy, and materials physics. The successful applicant can expect a highly competitive level of support for the start-up of their research program. Considerable institutional resources at Cornell can strengthen this research program and support interdisciplinary and collaborative research ventures. In particular, successful candidates can benefit from association with one or more of Cornell's interdisciplinary research centers, national facilities, and national resources.
Typically, postdoctoral experience is considered to be essential for Assistant Professor applicants. However, for exceptional candidates nearing the completion of their PhD, we can provide additional support in the form of a bridging fellowship for postdoctoral training before the start of the faculty position.
Diversity and Inclusion are a part of Cornell University’s heritage, and we especially encourage applications by members of groups historically underrepresented in AEP and STEM. Cornell is a recognized employer and educator valuing AA/EEO, Protected Veterans and Individuals with Disabilities. We also recognize a lawful preference in employment practices for Native Americans living on or near Indian reservations.
Cornell University is an innovative Ivy League university and a great place to work. Our inclusive community of scholars, students, and staff impart an uncommon sense of larger purpose, and contribute creative ideas to further the university's mission of teaching, discovery, and engagement.
