Assistant Professor of Physics - Quantum Materials

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s new initiative in Quantum Materials and Technologies (QMT) seeks collaborative faculty in physics, materials science and engineering, chemistry, and electrical and computer engineering. Research areas of interest include: quantum superposition and entanglement, synthesis of complex and nanoscale materials, quantum measurement and control, quantum-enabled sensors and metrology, and synthetic quantum systems and quantum simulation. UNL is a R1 public university, and is on a strong growth trajectory in research and student enrollment. This significant investment will increase UNL’s capacity and leadership in one of the major challenges of science and engineering for the future. The QMT initiative builds upon research strengths in our NSF-supported Materials Research Science and Engineering Center and Nebraska Nanoscale Facility: National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, as well as the Nebraska Center for Materials and Nanoscience.

As part of this initiative, the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UNL invites applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level in the areas of experimental condensed matter and materials physics (CMMP). We seek an individual specializing in the studies of emerging quantum materials and quantum phenomena, including, but not limited to, phenomena driven by topological effects, quantum confinement, and/or electron correlations.
