FACULTY POSITION IN EXPERIMENTAL PARTICLE PHYSICS

Job Summary

The Department of Physics & Astronomy at Purdue University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the area of experimental particle physics, to begin in August 2025.

Purdue has major involvement in the CMS, Mu2e, STAR, sPHENIX, ePIC and LSST experiments. In addition, Purdue is a member of multiple collaborations for detector R&D (DRD6, DRD8 and RDC10). Synergies exist with groups in astrophysics, theory, nuclear physics and condensed matter physics. The department offers a state-of-the-art in-house facility with resources applicable to silicon detector design, development and fabrication. We especially seek candidates who will initiate new experimental research directions in Dark Matter or flavor physics, with synergistic connections to existing research areas that will complement the current efforts within the department. Faculty are expected to establish a research program supported by extramural funding. Faculty will teach physics courses at the undergraduate and/or graduate level. Faculty are also expected to participate in student advising as well as service to the department and university.
