Faculty Position in Experimental AMO Physics

Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Experimental Atomic, Molecular, or Optical PhysicsThe Department of Physics and Astronomy at Rice University in Houston, Texas invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the area of experimental atomic, molecular, or optical physics, focusing on quantum science which encompasses quantum information processing, quantum sensing, quantum networks, quantum transduction, quantum many-body physics, and quantum simulation. The ideal candidates will intellectually connect AMO physics to topics in condensed matter and quantum information theory. We seek outstanding scientists whose research will complement and extend existing quantum activities within the Department and across the University. In addition to developing an independent and vigorous research program, the successful applicants will be expected to teach, on average, one undergraduate or graduate course each semester, and contribute to the service missions of the Department and University. The Department anticipates making an appointment at the assistant professor level. A Ph.D. in physics or related field is required.
