The Department of Physics at the University of Florida (UF) has an opening for a full-time, nine-month, tenure-track Assistant Professor in theoretical particle physics to begin August 16, 2025. We seek highly qualified candidates from all areas of theoretical particle physics. Present faculty members have expertise in beyond the Standard Model physics, particle astrophysics, cosmology, gravitational wave physics, and quantum gravity.
This position offers the opportunity to interact with the Department’s extensive research efforts in complementary directions, including dark matter detection (ADMX, ALPS, SuperCDMS), experimental particle physics (CMS, Belle II, DUNE), gravitational wave detection (LIGO, LISA, NANOGrav), theoretical astrophysics, and condensed matter physics. It also provides access to the world-class HiPerGator research computing center.
The successful candidate must hold a Ph.D. degree (or equivalent). Relevant postdoctoral research experience is preferred. Demonstrated potential for excellence in teaching and mentoring a diverse undergraduate and graduate student body, while establishing a well-recognized research program, is essential.
